Last Ride for the 33er Tram: New Line 12 Takes Over from October

Since its inception, tram line 33 has only been in supplementary operation, as the new line 12 has been strongly preferred by passengers. The number of passengers on the previous route of line 33 has noticeably decreased – more and more passengers are using the direct connection of line 12, which connects four districts with each other.

Tram Line 12 Strengthens Vienna's Public Transport Offer and Takes Over Line 33

Line 12 runs in the 20th district of Vienna from Höchstädtplatz to the U6 station Jägerstraße and via Wallensteinplatz to the U4 station Friedensbrücke, thus covering central sections of line 33. Since the beginning of September, it has been operating with larger vehicles, a denser interval, and longer operating hours. In addition, the new tram line 12 connects the U6 station Josefstädter Straße in the 8th district with Hillerstraße in the 2nd district and runs every 8 minutes during peak hours.

Previous Line 33 Stops Still Accessible

Despite the discontinuation of line 33, all previous stops remain accessible with other tram lines: The section from Höchstädtplatz to Friedrich-Engels-Platz is still covered by the dense intervals of tram lines 2 and 31. Between Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof and Augasse in the ninth district, line D operates. In addition to line 12, public transport passengers in the 20th district also have line 5 available for quickly reaching their destinations.
