Where to buy a ticket

Passes

Apart from single tickets there are passes for longer periods of time. Passes are available for 24 hours and 72 hours, or as weekly, monthly or annual passes.

How to validate your ticket

Tickets must be validated before boarding. To validate your ticket stamp the ticket at the blue machines located at the entrance of underground stations as well as on buses and trams. Tickets bought directly on the tram are automatically validated and need not be stamped again.

Where is a ticket valid

Vienna public transport is part of the Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region VOR (transport association for Austria's eastern regions) including parts of Lower Austria, the Burgenland and all of Vienna. The city of Vienna accounts for one full zone or core zone (Kernzone or "Zone 100"). A single ticket is valid for travelling one way in one zone. You may change to different lines in the course, but you may not interrupt your journey. Validated tickets can be used for all public transport (bus, tram, underground, train, Badner Bahn and most regional bus lines)
