“You can’t solve a transit problem with hush money”

The joy over the Fernpass summit tunnel is limited. Fritz Gurgiser from the Transitforum Austria-Tyrol sees parallels to Schüssel's Wipptal plans from 1991. He lacks any understanding for the measures.

The provincial government's Fernpass plans are still causing fierce debate weeks after their presentation. And there is a feeling that the front against the Fernpass summit tunnel is growing from day to day. The only thing in favor of the project is the fact that the people of Außerfern would save themselves a few minutes' drive.
