The climate ticket sells better than Minister of Infrastructure Leonore Gewessler (Greens) expected: As the department head announced on Thursday in the “Question Time” of the National Council, the ticket, which is valid throughout Austria, has already been bought 160,000 times. The target value was 120,000.
Gewessler stressed that even after the initial push, interest rates did not fall thanks to the lower rate at the beginning. About 5,000 new customers are constantly added every month and the trend is even increasing recently.
A survey at the beginning of the month found that 18 percent of Austrian car owners currently have a climate card, and 58 percent could imagine buying one. With the climate ticket, their owners can travel all over Austria on all public transport.
