It entitles you to any number of journeys on the underground, trams and buses (except special express bus routes), the S-Bahn (ÖBB express railway) and the Badner Bahn (to Vösendorf-Siebenhirten).

The annual youth pass is not valid for journeys to or from Vienna Airport (core zone border Schwechat), on the City Airport Train (CAT), on Westbahn trains or for tourist mobility offers.

• If payment ist made by settling the whole amount in advance by means of a one-off payment, you can renew your annual youth pass by visiting one of our ticket offices and making the payment there. Alternatively, you can renew your annual youth pass by paying in the payment slip or making a bank transfer by the 15th of the last month of validity of the existing annual pass. The new annual youth pass will be sent after receipt of the total amount. 
• If payment is made by SEPA direct debit (monthly or annual direct debit): If the annual youth pass is not cancelled in writing one month before it expires, a new contractual relationship is established for a further twelve months. The holder of the annual youth pass or the third-party payer will be informed of this separately in writing at least six weeks before the expiry date. Any fare adjustments will only take effect when the annual youth pass is purchased again. In this case, the amount debited will be adjusted to the changed fares.
