First, the basic network (Grundnetz) was chosen from the various network designs.
During 1967, plans for the U2 were radically reduced and the U3 completely deleted, and the approved basic network was described as a 'closer basic network'.
This closer basic network, consisting of the U1, U2 and U4 lines, included:
New route between Reumannplatz and Praterstern
U2 between Karlsplatz and Schottenring
U4 between Hütteldorf and Heiligenstadt, consisting almost entirely of modification and adaptation of the existing Stadtbahn line
Construction began on 3 November 1969.
On 25 February 1978, the first Vienna U-Bahn route between Karlsplatz and Reumannplatz, the U1, went into operation.
With twelve partial commissionings, the Vienna U-Bahn basic network was completed on 3 September 1982.
