The City Court of Audit reports on Wiener Linien have hit like a bomb. They show in detail what is wrong with Wiener Linien. This also applies to the personnel problem. A large number of employees give the company anything but a good report card.

A large part of the problems at Wiener Linien is due to the unchanged tense personnel situation. Without people to repair tracks and carriages or steer trains and buses through the public transport network, even the biggest company budget and the best planning are useless. Planning was also lacking for a long time when it came to personnel. Before 2019, there was no long-term and forward-looking personnel planning, was the harsh verdict of the City Court of Audit auditors in their latest report.
