Protests against bus route 20A: residents demand immediate solutions!

What is currently going on with bus line 20A in Bruckdecken? In the 21st district there is massive discontent among residents. There has been a new operator since autumn 2024 who apparently does not meet the expectations of Wiener Linien. The complaints about unpunctual journeys and excessive speeds in the 30 zone do not stop. District leader Georg Papai has clearly demanded that immediate solutions be found.

The situation is getting worse: the residents' concerns are being loudly expressed in protests. The district leader has also spoken out and suggests that discussions with the operator should urgently be intensified. A round table with representatives of the Wiener Linien, the district transport commission and the Bruckhäufen settlers' association will be convened to initiate improvements. dfz21 reports that…

Improvements in sight

Wiener Linien has announced that it will introduce an interval improvement for bus line 20A from September 2025. However, the new lines are intended to cause confusion. The planned change would mean that school children from the GTVS Alte Donau would no longer be able to travel straight home. Parents are worried about the safety of their children as a new change now requires a transfer to the U1. In the future, the afternoon trips will only serve the “Kaisermühlen VIC” station, which, at least on paper, doesn’t sound very inviting for little travelers.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel: from April 2023, the bus service intervals have already been improved. More trips during the week and increased weekend intervals should ensure that the buses are in peak traffic in the 21st district and may thus be able to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the residents. According to Papai, however, an individual schedule will be agreed upon for picking up school children at the “Alte Donau” station to ensure that the kids get some fresh air on time and get home safely. meinkreis.at reports that ...

On the right track

The Wiener Linien seem to be willing to seek dialogue with citizens and take their concerns seriously. The ongoing discussions and the announced measures give rise to confidence that things could soon become quieter around bus route 20A. The residents and especially the parents of the school children have great hopes for these developments.

At the moment it remains to be seen how the discussions will go and what specific measures will actually be decided. It's best to go to Wiener Linien and find out about the current timetables and developments. One thing is certain: the Bruck pile will continue to be a hot topic until all the necessary improvements are implemented.
