Public transport is convenient and safe. Trams, buses and underground trains
generally run until about midnight: first and last trains are listed
at each stop. There are also night buses on some routes which can be
used with the same kind of tickets and are also found by the route
finder mentioned above.
Inside each bus, underground or tram carriage there is a list of all
the stops on that line. All stops are signposted (at bus and tram
stops at the top of the stop sign). Free subway maps are available at
information offices. Ticket vending machines take € 10 bills
but it is advisable to have some small change with you. 'Zone 1'
covers all of Vienna; the other zones apply to lines to nearby towns,
or to Vienna Airport. In particular, if you buy a single ticket (=
Einzelfahrkarte) at a vending machine you should press yellow button
1 under the 'Einzelfahrkarte' table for adults.
The following tickets are available at vending machines (at every subway
station), tobacconists, or ticket offices at railway stations.
Single tickets are also available (slightly more expensive) inside each
tram or bus.
- Single tickets (Einzelfahrkarte) for € 1.70 (€ 2.20 inside a tram or bus).
Each single ticket allows travel for one person
on a single journey in one direction, and
allows any number of
transfers between buses, trams and
underground trains. The ticket should be
stamped once
at the beginning of the journey at a blue `Entwerter'
machine
found at the entrance to underground stations
and in buses or trams.
- Daily Ticket (Einkaufskarte) for € 4.60.
Valid from 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. (no matter when stamped). Not valid on
Sundays!

- 8-day strip ticket (8-Tage-Karte) for € 27.20 for a
total of 8 (not necessarily consecutive) days of travel. One of the eight strips has to be stamped at an Entwerter for
each day used, at the beginning of the first journey of
that day. After that you just have to carry the ticket
with you.
These tickets can also be used for several persons travelling together,
provided that one field is stamped for each person once for each day,
- Weekly tickets (Wochenkarte) for € 14,
valid from Monday to Monday 9 AM.

calendar month.
These are
available from ticket offices and tobacconists. When buying your first
weekly ticket ask for the (free) white card onto which the
ticket should be attached. Each card is issued with a number and each
weekly/monthly ticket must have this number entered into the space
provided---otherwise the ticket is invalid. These tickets are
transferable, but if n people travel together, you must be able to
produce n tickets!
