The ÖAMTC is pleased about the planned resumption of full operations on the ÖBB high-speed line from December 15, 2024. The route, which runs through the Tullnerfeld, was affected by massive flood damage, which led to longer travel times and train cancellations. Commuters, who currently have to switch to cars, are particularly affected.
The mobility club is therefore calling on the City of Vienna to provide short-term relief for motorists, in particular a temporary lifting of the maximum permitted parking time in the short-term parking zones in Vienna's western districts.
This would allow commuters to park their vehicles for longer than the two hours currently permitted, even if parking fees remain in place. The ÖAMTC is also proposing a cheaper daily flat rate to ease the burden on those affected. The measure should be limited to the planned resumption of rail operations in December.
