Schafft die Pendlerpauschale ab!

Vienna also has one more district with 100k+ residents now Welcome to the club Landstraße!!! There are now 9 districts with over 100k Leopoldstadt, Landstraße, Favoriten, Simmering, Meidling, Ottakring, Floridsdorf, Donaustadt, Liesing And next Year another one (Penzing) will probably join them

Austria grew by 21 900 people in 2026 Basically only in Vienna which grew by 13 747 people The fastest growing regions outside of Vienna are smaller cities surrounding Vienna like eisenstadt, Wiener neustadt and St Pölten And Graz and area around it

What is the reason that LIRR is up so much and NJ transit is down so much?

there are only 2 countries in the European Union that don't have a tram/light rail network: Lithuania and Slovenia Come on guys, Vilnius/Kaunas and Ljubljana could definitely support a few lines

Copenhagen overtook Vienna and is now the most liveable city in the world according to the economist intelligence unit

The VOR which is the transport association for eastern austria (population 4 million) transported 1,124 billion people in 2024 and increase of 122 million passengers over the previous year

Tram extension in Vienna: Cost: 29 million € per kilometer

The austrian population grew by 40 thousand people last year This year growth will probably be at least 10k lower, because syrian migration dropped hard after the war ended and migration restrictions were put up

Komplett absurd, dass Wiener Wohnen Klimaanlagen einfach pauschal verbietet

Lets gooooo A gap in the gürtel bike route in Vienna at Westbahnhof will be finally closed in the next month Car lanes will stay the same tho, because that road operated with a lane less because of a construction project (which is now close to done) anyways

Super artikel im Profil, die pendlerförderungen sind komplett absurd und gehören abgeschafft

Heute FAK

This is the future yimbys want!

The same street on the left is maybe 1 meter narrower than on the right, but on the right its grassy tram tracks plus separated bike lanes and on the left its mixed traffic tram and painted bike lanes on the street HOW????????

They really are doing everything to make this new tramline go the perfect racing line

Difference on the ground

It shows how much the city is still behind in street design and what is possible and what every side street should look like in Vienna

The difference between greenery on a privately owned street (the one with tons of trees) and city owned streets (the gray ones) is honestly massive

Do you guys reckon there will be a something built here at some point?

With April data arriving we are on track for a growth of around 10-15k thousand people in 2025 in Vienna, which is almost half the growth of the past two years This is almost certainly because since the end of the war in syria the number of syrians coming to Vienna has dropped significantly

A beautiful new almost finished apartment building in Vienna next to a tram line and S-Bahn station Next to it a huge new Office for a pharma company is currently under construction

The greens have been the only party that consistently target the EU-Vote in Vienna and all of Austria so its not entirely surprising But how dominant it is crazy, in some districts the Greens got 60% of the EU vote and the arguably were pivotal in flipping the 5th district from the spö to greens

Last Sunday wasnt just a City-wide election, but also 23 district elections happened, and not only austrian citizens, but also EU-Citizens are eligble to vote there And it seems like the Greens absolutely dominated that EU-Vote getting 36,6% of it way ahead of the spö at 28,2%

There is Election analysis based on metro lines happening in Vienna Here metro line U6 clearly shows that the green and fpö voters live in completely different parts of the city, greens in urban centre and fpö on the outskirts

Okay we might actually have a change in district governments in Vienna the 5th district is extremely close and might switch from the social democrats to the greens The only other one that isnt decided is the 6th one which might also switch from spö to greens, but less likely

the results of todays Viennese election shifts in the right wing camp and the social democrats loose a bit and the liberals gain a bit, but otherwise not much changes the district results will be interesting because they have a lot of power over street redesigns

Bricks are becoming more popular in ground floor new builds in Vienna

its absolutely crazy that housing costs in Vienna are twice as high as they are in the second largest city in austria in Graz
