Wiener Linien has been given a carrot and stick by Vienna City Councillor Peter Hanke following the harsh report on the company by the City Court of Audit. Hanke puts figures on the city's subsidies on the table and demands that Wiener Linien should also "use the money carefully".

Following the uncompromising report by the City Court of Audit on Wiener Linien, Public Transport City Councillor Peter Hanke shows understanding for the challenges facing the company, especially in terms of staff shortages, but also puts the rod in the management's window: the 1.2 billion euros with which City Hall co-financed the company in 2023 alone must be "used carefully", warns Hanke: "Of course, the city's funds are not unlimited."
