Teenager attacked on the bus – police are looking for witnesses to the incident!

A dramatic incident occurred on bus line 185: A 14-year-old boy was attacked by an unknown attacker around 1:50 p.m. while traveling from Götzis to Hohenems. The incident occurred near the Hohenems train station. The perpetrator, who fled towards Lindau after the attack, left the victim with minor head injuries. The police have information that several passengers observed the attack and are urgently asking them to report to the Hohenems police station in order to determine the identity of the perpetrator, as VOL.AT reported.

The upcoming timetable change on December 11, 2022 in Vorarlberg, which will entail a comprehensive change in bus route numbers, is in a different context. The long-awaited switch to three-digit numbers is intended to increase the clarity of connections and provide a consistent, logical system. The first digits of the new numbers provide information about the respective region, while additions such as “a” or “b” are omitted. This is being implemented as part of a comprehensive concept to improve bus services, which also includes new route names for popular routes such as the one from Götzis to Hohenems. More detailed information can be found on the vmobil.at website, as also mentioned in the report from the municipality of Hohenems.
