Public transport ticket purchase

When purchasing train tickets for Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), always compare prices on the official ÖBB website or app. Third-party aggregators may offer significantly higher prices. For example, an ECREX ticket might cost €77 on an aggregator, but €29.90 directly from ÖBB. An IRREX ticket could be €9.90 directly instead of a higher price elsewhere.

When traveling from Vienna Hbf to Mödling with a Vienna public transport pass (e.g., '31 Days Digital Vienna'), a supplementary ticket for the segment outside of Vienna is usually required. To avoid overpaying, use the ÖBB app and input your existing Vienna travel pass details in the settings. The app will then calculate the correct fare for the portion of the journey outside the Vienna zone.

Buses from Vienna to Krakow typically depart from the main bus terminal at Südtiroler Platz (Hauptbahnhof). Always confirm the exact departure station indicated on your bus ticket, as Vienna has multiple transport hubs.

In Vienna, while some public transport routes (including city-to-airport buses) have recently introduced card payments, it is still advisable to carry cash as an alternative payment method, as card options may not be universally available across all routes.
