The buses of the Upper Austrian Transport Association (OÖVV) are currently about 15 minutes late. “That’s not far from a normal Monday, the first snowfall would probably be much worse,” says OÖVV spokesman Klaus Wimmer. “Many people may have followed the advice to stay in the home office because of the train strike or to form carpools,” he estimates.
A local inspection at the Linz bus station at 7.30 a.m. also shows that the rush is limited. “I take the train from Gallneukirchen to Linz every morning, and today wasn’t busier than usual,” says a student who is on her way to the tram station in the train station.
All regional buses of the OÖVV and the municipal operators in Upper Austria according to the timetable. The only train running today is the Atterseebahn from Attersee to Vöcklamarkt. Linz Linien and the Upper Austrian police are also not reporting any major abnormalities. So there is still little to be felt in public transport from the traffic jams that are currently already prevailing on the entry routes to several Upper Austrian cities.
The hall of the main train station is completely empty except for the passengers who go to the local tram station. The media coverage in advance should not have failed to have an effect: far and wide there are no stranded travelers in sight. Except for the escalators, nothing is running at the Linz train station today.
