The Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region Gesellschaft m.b.H. , abbreviated VOR, is the largest public transport association (Verkehrsverbund) in Austria, responsible for coordinating transport services in Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland. [1] [2] While it does not operate any services of its own, its members such as Wiener Linien and ÖBB operate a variety of bus, tram, metro, S-Bahn, and regional rail services with a common fare structure and timetables coordinated by VOR.
The following agencies and companies operate services in VOR as of 2025: [3]
City Airport Train, Vienna Airport Lines (operated by Postbus), Flixbus, and Regiojet do not participate in VOR, nor do tourist or museum lines such as the Wachaubahn or Schneebergbahn.
Inside the Vienna core zone (formerly known as "Zone 100"), Wiener Linien's fare structure applies. Outside of Vienna, fares for single-trip and day tickets are based on distance, and are valid on any means of transport between the origin and destination. Tickets can be purchased online, with apps such as AnachB, or from ticket counters, ticket machines in some stations and vehicles, or drivers on regional buses. Fare enforcement is based on proof of payment, without any physical measures such as turnstiles. [4] After several years of discussion, fare levels were standardized throughout VOR's entire service area in 2016. [5] [6]
The KlimaTicket Österreich is valid for all VOR services. VOR also offers the VOR KlimaTicket MetropolRegion for its entire service area, or the VOR KlimaTicket Region for Lower Austria and Burgenland, excluding Vienna. [7]
