In addition to the residential area and tourist attraction, the center of Salzburg has many other functions. How city politics wants to manage the balancing act.
“Kron”: Should the coach terminals be moved to the edge of the city (for example at the fair)?
Florian Kreibich (ÖVP): The construction of the trade fair railway line in combination with the S-Link would make the use of the P&R area at the fair as a coach terminal perfect.
Bernhard Auinger (SPÖ): Yes. In combination with cheap public transport tickets, this would be a very sensible transport measure to relieve the city center of bus traffic.
Anna Schiester (citizen list): Yes, the coaches with day tourists belong on the edge of the city. From there there should be good public transport connections to the old town. The bus terminal on Paris-Lodron-Strasse must be closed immediately.
Paul Dürnberger (FPÖ): Yes, this is a sensible measure to avoid increasing traffic problems in the city. In particular, the bus terminal on Paris-Lodron-Straße must be moved.
Lucas Rupsch (NEOS): Yes, that is why we are demanding that construction of the trade fair railway line finally starts, to ensure that in the long term there will be no more coaches running into the city center.
Kay-Michael Dankl (KPO Plus): Yes, it does not have to be the case that tens of thousands of coaches clog the city center every year.
Christoph Ferch (List Salt): I wouldn’t completely give up on the idea of a bus garage in Kapuzinerberg. It would be within walking distance. If the bus can be parked in the city, the necessary journeys are halved.
