Vienna is looking forward to the new tram line 12 – schedule and routes!
On Monday, September 1st, Vienna will have a new attraction: Tram line 12 will be ceremoniously opened and is intended to further strengthen the city's existing transport network. This line connects Josefstädter Straße in the 8th district with the Stuwerviertel and thus ensures a seamless connection between four districts.
The new line's route stretches a remarkable 7.2 kilometers and brings together various important junctions, including the U6 at Josefstädter Straße and Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof. From the Friedensbrücke to the Nordbahnviertel, Jägerstraße, Dresdner Straße and Traisengasse are also served. For all commuters and travelers there are numerous transfer options to the U1, U4, U6 and S-Bahn lines. A future connection to the new U5 is also being planned, which will also run towards Hernals via Arne-Karlsson-Park from 2032 at the earliest.
Urban mobility rethought
The Wiener Linien re-laid a total of 2.2 kilometers of the route, with 230 meters being designed as green track. This environmentally friendly element is intended not only to make the journey more pleasant, but also to contribute to a greener cityscape. Those responsible expect around 16,000 passengers every day who will benefit from this new connection.
Of course, public transport in Vienna plays a central role in the everyday life of residents and visitors. The city offers a highly developed network with several means of transport, including subway, S-Bahn, bus and trams.
