Those who wanted to go to work by train on Monday morning were out of luck. The strike at ÖBB led to around 400 disruptions on Tyrol’s tracks. There was correspondingly more traffic on the highways and roads.
For some 45,000 Tyroleans on Monday, it was either working from home, carpooling to work or hoping for a seat on a bus – as long as it’s driving. As a result, there was more traffic on the roads than usual, for example on the Inntalautobahn there were more cars than usual.
Drivers need patience
In the provincial capital of Innsbruck, drivers also needed more patience to get from A to B than on other working days. “But there must be no question of total chaos,” one of those affected told the “Tiroler Krone”.
Meanwhile, there was (almost) a yawning void at the railway stations of Tyrol. In Wörgl, only a few got lost in the station concourse. Nobody was to be seen on the platforms in Innsbruck.
