Kagraner Platz (U) – Hausfeldstraße (S).Kagran (U) – Hirschstetten am Heidjöchl (Hausfeldstraße).A ride on the 23A articulated buses needs about 19 minutes in each direction for the 6.7 km stretch. During morning and afternoon rush hours, it is normal to have more than 700 passengers take this route. The route takes you around the historic center of Hirschstetten and stops at Hausfeldstraße where the S-Bahn S80 (tram) has its terminus.Īs a feeder to the U1 subway line and the suburban train, the 23A is very crowded, especially during weekday rush hours. It then branches off towards Hirschstetten. At the same time the buses were added to the RBL line, the computer-controlled train system.Īt the start of the route, the 23A runs parallel to the 24A parallel until it reaches Kraygasse. One interesting fact about the period before changes to the bus models were made in 2006 is that the 23A was the only line where the GU 240 model high-floor articulated bus was used exclusively.Īs part of the September 2006 extension of the U1, the 23A line was reduced in Kagraner square and the buses were completely switched to low-floor models. In 2006, the U1 subway line was extended from Kagran Platz, one of the most important hubs in the district for connections to other bus and tram lines and the U1 subway terminus. The original route started in the Kagran center. Like the 24A Line, the route changed over time to adapt to transportation policies. This is now a historic line that was replaced in 2013 by the expansion of the tram network.
