Vienna needs more trams: the green public plan for the future!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Vienna faces a massive upheaval in public transport! The Greens present a comprehensive public package, which mainly focuses on the tram, affectionately called "Bim". Party chairman Judith Pühringer and city government spokesman Peter Kraus call for a drastic expansion of the tram network by a third. Vienna is intended to make this project a champion of public transport and, above all, relieve the poorly connected outdoor districts. In recent years there has been hardly any progress in expanding the publications, which makes the need for these measures even more urgent, as ots.at reported.

The Viennese tram, which has grown continuously since its foundation in 1865 and is now operating 28 lines, is advertised as a showcase project for the mobility of the future. With a route length of over 171 kilometers and impressive 273.4 million passengers a year, the BIM has the potential to become the most used traffic form. A fast and inexpensive expansion project is expected, which should cost 1.7 to 2 billion euros in the next ten years - a fraction compared to similar infrastructure projects. In addition, the introduction of four new expressway connections should be promoted quickly to relieve the existing lines, according to the information from Wikipedia .

the BIM think ahead!

The long-term goal is to expand the BIM network by an additional 68 kilometers, which could significantly improve the access options for many Viennese and reduce pressure on driving. MP Kilian Stark explains that the Viennese publications have been heavily used in recent years and often suffered from failures or overcrowding. The planned public package is a brave step in the right direction to ensure a sustainable traffic solution for the growing city. The tram could not only revolutionize local public transport, but also contribute to the economic revival of the relevant districts.
