Can I get the €75 Semesterticket if I'm 28?

Up to age 26 inclusive on the 1st of the validity period. From 27 you switch to the regular monthly card (€51) — buy 4–5 of them and the math is roughly even.

One ticket for everything?

Yes — single, daily, monthly, and semester tickets cover U-Bahn + tram + bus + S-Bahn within the city zone (Kernzone 100). No separate validation per leg.

What if I forget to validate?

Mobile-app tickets activate when you tap "Buy". Paper single tickets must be stamped at the orange machine at the entrance — €115 fine if not.

Getting around

Wiener Linien (WL) runs the entire urban network — 5 U-Bahn lines, 28 trams, and 100+ bus lines. Trains every 2–7 minutes, on time to the second. Night buses (NightLine) cover all routes after 0:30.

Semester ticket €75 (under 27, enrolled in a Vienna uni) — valid 1 Sept – 31 Jan or 1 Feb – 30 Jun

Buy in the WienMobil app — saves the hassle of paper tickets.
