Just in time for the start of the new school year, Vienna’s new tram line 12 began operating on 1 September 2025: It runs from Josefstädter Straße (U6) via Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof, Friedensbrücke (U4), Jägerstraße (U6) and Dresdner Straße to Traisengasse S-Bahn station and further on via the Nordbahnviertel to Vorgartenstraße (U1) to Hillerstraße terminus. It connects four districts of Vienna (8th, 9th, 20th, 2nd) and offers connections to the U1, U4 and U6 underground lines at five stops, as well as connections to the S-Bahn at two stops. In future, the U5 will also be connected at Arne-Karlsson-Park in the ninth district.
