More cycling, less car traffic in Vienna (Austria)

The number of cars on Vienna’s roads has fallen, while cycling has risen – that’s according to new figures from the Austrian capital’s transport operator, Wiener Linien.

An analysis of traffic counts for motor vehicles in the period from 2010 to 2015 shows a drop in car traffic by 6.3 per cent across the city.

In urban areas the decline was particularly high with 11.2 per cent.
