According to ARBÖ, public transport is also affected by restrictions: Tram lines 1, 2, and D will be rerouted from around 6:40 PM until the end of service. Tram line 71 and bus line 59A will be shortened. Tram line 2A will completely cease operations on February 27 from 6:50 PM. There will also be restrictions on some night bus lines.

Opera Ball Guests Should Arrive by Public Transport or Taxi

During the evening traffic, traffic jams and slow-moving traffic are expected on the Ring before the diversion and on the Zweier-Linien. It will also take longer than usual along the Danube Canal and on the Gürtel.

"We advise Opera Ball guests, even if they are among the authorized persons allowed to travel to the opera through the closure, against traveling with their own vehicle. They risk significant delays due to traffic jams and searching for parking. Use the subway lines, taxis, or limousine services for your journey," concluded ARBÖ traffic expert Thomas Haider.
