Questions and answers

Transport association tickets

• Why do I have to buy a transport association ticket if I only use ÖBB?

  ÖBB is obliged to sell association tickets instead of ÖBB tickets (ÖBB in-house tariff) due to the exclusivity of the association tariff if the selected route is within the area of a single transport association and the association can provide an offer that is suitable for the customer.

  The ticket machine can book all tickets to your chosen destination, including local network tickets for buses, trains and trams. This means that tickets for over 40,000 stops can be purchased at a ticket machine.

• How many tickets will be printed out if I book a combined ticket for several transport associations/provinces?

  If you book a journey within a province, you will be issued with one printed ticket. If you are travelling from one province to another, the tickets will be printed out separately. You will therefore be issued with multiple tickets.

• How long are ÖBB tickets valid for?

  ÖBB standard tickets are valid on all ÖBB trains (except night trains) for the selected route for two days from the point at which they become valid, while Einfach-Raus tickets are valid on all local and regional trains between 9 am and 3 am on the following day (or all day on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays). Exclusive fares apply in transport associations. The validity of transport association tickets depends on their fares.
