S-Bahn lock in Vienna: Select replacement buses until September!
Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Österreich - From June 28th there will be a major change in S-Bahn traffic in Vienna. There are no trains between Floridsdorf and Praterstern until September 1st. This was announced by the Meinverzirk and falls into the renovation of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), which take place during the summer vacation. The aim of these measures is the modernization of the S-Bahn line and the removal of previous defects.
However, two alternative bus lines are available for commuters and travelers. The yellow line, a “direct bus”, will run between 5:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. without intermediate stop between Praterstern and Floridsdorf, while the blue line, which represents classic rail replacement traffic, will hold to Traisengasse and Handelskai. This information is also available in real time in the ÖBB Scotty and the Vienna Mobil-App, which makes it easier for passengers to plan their trips. Valid ÖBB-Tickets are recognized by the Viennese lines on the defined replacement routes, such as öbb.at reported.orientation aid for passengers

The tram lines D and E4, which are used as an alternative between the Friedensbrücke and Schottenring, should be particularly mentioned.
other construction projects and traffic restrictions
The construction work in Vienna does not only affect the S-Bahn. An extensive track construction project will also be carried out on Hütteldorfer Straße from April to June, which includes the exchange of 1,750 meters track. This means restrictions on line operations during this time. A shuttle service between Hütteldorfer Straße U and Lützowgasse is offered for people with mobility disabilities.
Overall, the coming months will be characterized by extensive modernization work on the track systems in Vienna. The city plans to sustainably improve its infrastructure, and ask the passengers for understanding and patience during this time.
