Prices for VOR Climate Tickets Increase in September

"The price adjustment will be an increase of 7.7 percent and is based on the indexing of the nationwide Climate Ticket Austria," it was stated on Monday. For the Metropolregion Climate Ticket, the base price for the core zone of Vienna remains unchanged, only the regional share for Lower Austria and Burgenland is affected.

Prices for VOR Climate Tickets Rise for the First Time Since Introduction

Since the introduction of the VOR Climate Tickets in 2022, price increases have been avoided, and in the fall of 2022, there was even a significant reduction, it was emphasized in a press release. The tariffs in the climate ticket segment remained stable in 2023 and 2024 as well. The increase is "necessary to further advance the expansion of public transport" and to account for the general cost development, particularly the increased energy and operating costs, it was emphasized. The largest part of the costs for public transport in the eastern region continues to be borne by Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland, as well as the federal government. "Even after the current price adjustment, passengers in the eastern region are traveling cheaper compared to cars on most routes - and also safer and more environmentally friendly," it was stated.
