ÖBB to Renew Ticket Machines in Austria by 2026

By autumn 2026, all 1,100 ticket machines in Austria are to be replaced with more modern, barrier-free devices, as the company announced on Thursday.

ÖBB Ticket Machines to Become More Accessible by 2026

The new ticket machines are equipped with larger screens and an automatic height detection system that adjusts the operating display to the eye level of the customers. Around 210 new machines have already been installed. The card reader and cash acceptance are also mounted at a height that is accessible to all people, and all elements are tactile, i.e. detectable by touch. According to ÖBB, the ticket machines are manufactured in Austria, and maintenance should be simpler. Instead of a dispensing compartment for tickets and change, the new machines are equipped with a dispensing slot for hygiene reasons.
