U-railway chaos in Vienna: Disruptions on U1 and U3 cause frustration!

Vorgartenstraße, 1020 Wien, Österreich - On Wednesday evening there were considerable disorders in Vienna on the U1 and U3 underground lines. According to krone.at the reason was a trip disability and an operating disorder. Commuters who were waiting for their subway after a long working day had to be patient because the departure times were very delayed. In the quarter concerned, this caused displeasure among passengers, which were dependent on irregular intervals on the part of the Viennese lines.

In particular, the U1 subway line was affected by a fault that was caused by a damaged vehicle in the Vorgartenstrasse station in the early evening. This vehicle had to be taken out of the operating service and checked, which only ensured irregularities in the timetable. "The line is now driving again, but there are still different intervals," Andrea Zefferer, spokeswoman for the Viennese lines, told meinbezirk.at . The Viennese lines recommended passengers, alternative routes via lines U2, U3, 25, 26, 11a and 26a to consider to avoid traffic.

passengers must expect further delays

Although the disorder has now been remedied, there are still different intervals on the U1. As a temporary solution, the Viennese lines made their employees available to clarify the situation and to ensure the safety of passengers. "At first there was talk of a fire service, which turned out to be a misunderstanding," added Zefferer. The uncertainty of the commuters is expected to continue for some time, which reinforces the pressure on the already heavily frequented alternative routes.
