The annual ticket of the Vienna lines has cost 365 € so far. However, this affordable price will soon be a thing of the past. The reason is the tense budget of the city of Vienna. The new price must be honest and appropriate – but what price would you be willing to pay for the annual ticket? And where is your personal pain threshold?
The Viennese lines face major challenges: rising costs in areas such as energy, personnel and maintenance considerably tax the budget. Now the price and tariff system must be adjusted in such a way that it corresponds to current economic conditions. How high the new price will be is still unclear, but it is clear that cuts in public transport are threatened without extra income, for example due to longer intervals or less line expansion. Now a fair and socially acceptable solution is being sought.
How much would you be willing to pay for the Viennese lines of the annual ticket? Do you regularly use public transport? Where do you think there is an improvement potential? Share your opinion on this subject with us and the community in the comments!
