Public Transport in Vienna

The Vienna public transport system (Wiener Linien) consists of five underground lines, 30 tram and 83 bus lines. It belongs to the transport association for Austria's eastern regions (Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region VOR). The whole region is divided in eight zones, including parts of Lower Austria, the Burgenland and all of Vienna. The city of Vienna forms one full zone ("Kernzone" or "Zone 100"). With a single ticket (EUR 2.00) you are allowed to travel one way in one zone on all public transport. You may change to different lines, but must not interrupt your journey.
