phase could be Line U5.
The idea for this line dates back to the 1960s during initial planning for the metro network. The project involves splitting Line U2 at Rathaus and building two new branches. One new branch would be built from Hernals to Rathaus and then continue on the existing U2 section from Rathaus to Karlsplatz and beyond if the extension to Gudrunstrasse is built. This would then become Line U5. The second new branch could be built from Inzersdorf to Rathaus and then continue on the existing Line U2 to Seestadt establishing the new Line U2.
Plans for phase five are still under discussion and may be changed or even abandoned depending on financial support. To date the City of Vienna has received 50% of the funds required to build its metro lines from the Austrian state. Financing agreements exist only for phase four, so phase five would require new negotiations with the Federal Ministry of Finance. But with Vienna backing its metro network to deliver the mobility required by its citizens of today and tomorrow, it will be a strong position to secure further funds. IRJ
