Sima: FPÖ wants to prevent new tram line in Simmering and favorites!

Improvements for 300,000 Viennese FPÖ small-minded and information-hostile

Vienna (OTS) – As a „purely party tactical game on the back of a rapid transit driver“ means a rapid transit-councillor Ulli Sima today’s attacks, the FPÖ on the is a rapid transit Expansion in the Simmering. „We make the tram network in Simmering on completely new legs and create massive improvements for a population of around 300,000 in Simmering and favorites with the new line 11. The FPÖ wants to prevent this, though they had for months, not a single objection to the projects,“ says Sima. Because neither the planning and realisation of audit, and project – and built-in meeting and not in the traffic hearing, there was of the district FPÖ objections. Now it has been looking for desperately for a topic to attract once again attention. That one wants to slow down the environment-friendly public Transport and driving comfort of the simmering and the Favoritner, is more than embarrassing,“ said Sima. With the flimsiest of arguments, the FPÖ tried to make the project maggoty, even before the panic shrink back, do the FPÖ.

Line 11 is the long-standing demand of the residents of the 11. District after a second line to Kaiserebersdorf complied with. At the same time, Wiener Linien create a better connection between Simmering and favorites, and attractive, the public Transport fourth in the two districts solid.

The benefits for public transport Users are clear on the
Hand:

* With the new line 11 Kaiserebersdorf gets the long
desired connection with two tram lines. Because in addition to the 11 also, the line returns 71 to kaiserebersdorf. In addition, the line will end 11 at the underground Station U3-Enkplatz, she drives up to the Otto-Probst-Platz to your favorites and assumes from the Reumannplatz (U1), the route line 67.

* In the Absberggasse a new interchange node:
three tram lines meet here. The passengers can easily move between the extended line D, line 6 and line 11.

* The capacity in heavily used section between the source space and the geiereck road will be increased for passengers by up to 80 percent, as in the line 6 and 11, two lines on the road.

* The line 11 goes most of the time on a separate track and is not of private transport, regardless, it is in a traffic jam, and is not hampered by the wrong Parkers.

* The line 6 with the loop geiereck road for the large training center next to the tangent. The new loop in the geiereck road is located in the residential area, thus there will be no noise disturbance for local Residents, and there is the necessary space for the construction of the loop.

„We want to be a reasonable solution for all Information Users, and have presented a good overall concept. We are not in the district boundaries, but wish to create benefits for all Viennese people,“ says Sima. Therefore, the city of Vienna and Wiener Linien invest heuer 70 million euros in the Expansion and acceleration of the tram and bus network.

The proposed Changes in Overview:

Line 11: line 11 is for the future of Kaiserebersdorf to the Otto-Probst-Platz, on-the-go. It binds to Kaiserebersdorf not only on the U3, but also on the U1 at Reumannplatz. The 11S took over large parts of the route of line 6, and from the Reumannplatz, the line 11 will be replaced in the future, the line 67 to the Otto-Probst Platz.

Line 71: line 71 is the second tram connection to Kaiserebersdorf and are returning to their roots. It is Central from its current terminal station cemetery, 3. Gate back to Kaiserebersdorf extended. The Work on the reverse loop in Kaiserebersdorf for a second tram line have already been made. With the ‚ 71 a direct connection to the city centre from Kaiser-ebersdorf in the future is possible again.

Line 6: line 6 ends with the extension of the line 11 in the geiereck street in Simmering. The new reverse loop under the A23 is built, starting in April, and in 2019 is operational from the start of School ready. The line 6 will in future be relieved in the busy section of the source space – Reumannplatz – geiereck road from the line 11 and is thus more reliable.

„The bad-mouthing of the Vienna public Transport by the FPÖ’s real at all. Current passenger surveys to show how satisfied the of Vienna with public Transport. FPÖ officials to not with the public Transport, because then you would know that the offer in Vienna-in Europe-is far from unique good and cheap“, Sima finally.
