Changes to Bus Lines 53A, 54A, and 54B in Vienna-Hietzing
The aim of the changes to bus lines 53A, 54A, and 54B in Vienna-Hietzing is to make the network in the west of Vienna more modern and efficient. The new routes offer more frequent intervals, clearer routes, and significantly improved connections to key destinations.
Extension for Bus Line 53A in Vienna-Hietzing
Bus line 53A is being extended and will no longer run only from Hütteldorf station to Unter St. Veit, but additionally via the U4 station Ober St. Veit to the new terminus Stock im Weg. This creates a direct, continuous connection to several heavily frequented residential and school areas, including the allotment garden associations near the St. Veiter Gate and the Hörndlwald recreational area. "With the new routes, Wiener Linien is providing a bus service that is even more oriented towards the mobility needs of passengers, meaning shorter waiting times, better connections, and more clarity. A new central transfer hub is being created at Wolfrathplatz in Hietzing," said Vienna's public transport councilor Ulli Sima.
Changes Also for Bus Lines 54A and 54B in Vienna-Hietzing
Lines 54A and 54B have been restructured. Previously, they connected the stations Ober St. Veit and Stock im Weg in a loop. Now both lines run in both directions via Wolfrathplatz, which is also used by line 53A and serves as a central transfer point. Line 54A now permanently connects to Hörndlwald, with the Reischergasse stop being renamed. Line 54B runs exclusively to the St. Veiter Gate. Alexandra Reinagl, managing director of Wiener Linien, explains: "The new routes in Hietzing show how we as Wiener Linien continuously develop our service. Our goal is a public transport system that is not only efficient and clear but also noticeably oriented towards the everyday lives of people. This is how we shape mobility for a livable city." The new routes not only increase clarity but also improve the frequency on heavily trafficked sections by having multiple lines (53A and 54AB) run parallel. This results in shorter waiting times and increased capacity, especially during peak times.
Direct Route for Bus Lines in Vienna-Hietzing
The redesign of the previous loops, which included various detours, leads to clear routes with defined start and end points. This makes the schedules clearer and easier for passengers to plan. At the same time, previous detours, such as additional trips to the St. Veiter Gate, are eliminated in favor of a more direct route, positively affecting travel time. For many passengers, the new route means shorter distances, fewer transfers, and more frequent intervals," said the district leader of Vienna-Hietzing, Mag. Johanna Zinkl, about the new bus line concept. It is particularly positive that the terminuses St. Veiter Gate and Hörndlwald are now permanently and regularly connected. Both stops are now continuously served, significantly improving their accessibility. Additionally, the connection to important places such as schools, residential areas, and the U-Bahn stations along the U4 is further improved by the new connections.
