About Wiener Linien

Public transport is the preferred way to move around Vienna

Every day, 2.47 million passengers travel on our buses, trams and underground trains. 

In 2025, 903 million passengers travelled on public transport in Vienna. This represents an increase of 3% as compared to 2024. 

1.3 million people are regular public transport customers.

More and more people are remaining loyal to public transport as regular customers, while fewer and fewer own a car. In 2025, almost 1.34 million people had an annual pass or other permanent ticket from Wiener Linien. This means that a trend that has been in place since 2015 remains unchallenged: There are more regular public transport customers in Vienna than registered cars.

More than 9,500 people from 70 countries work at Wiener Linien to provide reliable, world-class transport services.

Around half of our employees work as bus, tram or underground drivers. In 2025, Wiener Linien trained 316 tram drivers, 79 underground train drivers and 145 bus drivers. There are also many other professions at Wiener Linien - in total, you can work in over 100 job profiles with us. We also offer an excellent apprenticeship programme. In 2025, Wiener Linien trained 368 apprentices in 11 promising professional fields. 

WienMobil is good for your health and for the climate.

WienMobil’s bike-sharing scheme already comprises 3,100 bikes, 300 e-bikes and 100 electric cars. The bikes were hired over 1.14 million times in 2025 (a 16% increase compared to 2024). Had the kilometres cycled been covered by car, 586 tonnes of CO2 equivalents would have been emitted – a win for fitness and for our climate. The WienMobil cars were hired over 68,700 times (up 13% on 2024).

Vienna has the sixth largest tram network in the world.

Wiener Linien operates the largest regional transport network in Austria. It comprises around 84 kilometres of underground lines and 893 kilometres of bus routes. With an operating length of 171 kilometres, the tram network is the sixth largest in the world. The infrastructure of Wiener Linien includes not only tracks and tunnels, but also 110 underground stations, three bus garages, ten tram depots, three underground service stations and the main workshop in Simmering.

At peak times, 900 vehicles are simultaneously on the network. 

They can accommodate some 210,000 people.

A single underground train can carry around 900 people – a car around 1.14. 

To transport the number of people travelling on a single underground train, around 790 cars would therefore be needed. 

80% of public transport passengers travel electrically and therefore in a climate-friendly way. 

This is because our underground trains, trams and e-buses are powered by electricity from renewable sources.
