The OBB make tickets more expensive

2. July 2026, 18:45

Higher costs for train travel

The OBB increase their prices. This happens on 13 December 2026. This is the day of the 'Fahr-Plan-Wechsel'. Standard tickets cost more then. The 'Vorteils-Card' also gets more expensive.

Prices rise by 3.5 percent. This is an average value. The OBB say: Everything becomes more expensive. Energy costs a lot of money. This is the reason for the increase.

The increase is lower than the 'Inflation'. Other transport groups also changed prices. People who book early pay less. This system stays the same. 'Spar-Schiene-Tickets' stay cheap.

An example: The trip from 'Wien' to 'St. Veit' soon costs more. Before it was 62.30 Euro. From December it is 64.50 Euro. People who book 15 days early save money.
