Vienna reaches through: new measures against annoying false parkers!

in Vienna is the end of the false parking plague that massively affects the trams and buses! Again and again the public passengers have to be patient, while the means of transport come to a standstill due to incorrectly parked cars. Almost four times a day it means "Please wait!", Which not only affects the passengers, but also on the drivers. The city of Vienna and the Vienna lines have then decided to take a number of hard measures. In September 2023, the fines for parking the trams were increased from 128 euros to 365 euros - this corresponds to the price for an annual ticket! These income is invested in the further expansion of the publications, such as Today. reported.

In order to combat the problem at the hotspots, structural measures have been implemented since last year. The Camillo-Sitte-Gasse in Rudolfsheim is particularly affected, where a total of 31 incidents were recorded in 2023, which prevented line 9 from continuing. In order to get the traffic there again, extensive redesign of the stops are planned for 2025. The sidewalk should be wider, the stops are extended, and more green space is created - the Viennese lines and the district invest around 600,000 euros. District chief Dietmar Baurecht is optimistic: "The problem of disability of public transport is finally fixed," he praises the measures. Also 5 minutes reports the need for these changes that are intended to sustainably strengthen public transport in the city. These measures are an important step in the right direction to ensure that the trams and buses in Vienna will be able to transport their passengers unhindered in the future.
