** Please note that the price of an ÖBB standard single ticket depends on the selected sales channel and the time of booking. The earlier the ticket is purchased, the cheaper it is. When booking online or by mobile, the price is lower than when buying a ticket at the counter or at a ticket machine. The ÖBB Vorteilscard always reduces the price of the ÖBB standard single ticket by 50%.
