    Tickets can refer to geographical areas of validity or to the use of certain means of transport. This can refer to regional/long-distance transport or to certain urban transport services. Here we explain the following terms for public transport.

    Regional transport

    Regional transport refers to public transport services that cross municipal boundaries. This includes regional buses and trains that run on regional routes. This means that they connect towns, municipalities and districts. Regional transport also crosses urban transport, but usually only for boarding and alighting. Regional transport therefore runs parallel to urban transport in the city centre (e.g. as in Linz, Wels and Steyr). In general, only routes that serve towns and cities are considered regional transport.

    OÖVV Info SymbolIn addition, certain abbreviations (e.g. on trains) can provide an additional indication as to whether they are regional transport connections.
    Examples of regional transport trains are CJX (Cityjet xpress), REX (Regional Express), R (Regionalzug), S (S-Bahn)

    City transport

    Urban transport in Upper Austria comprises 63 urban transport lines that run on rail or road. These so-called urban transport services provide access to the public transport network predominantly within a city without being cross-regional.

    OÖVV Info SymbolYou can find a detailed list of these city transport services here: City transport

    Long-distance transport

    Long-distance transport therefore serves all routes and distances that are no longer within a city or regional public transport (= within a federal state). This is characterised, for example, by the fact that the starting point and destination are characterised by a large distance (e.g. Linz - Vienna route) and also cross (federal) state borders.

    OÖVV Info SymbolIn addition, certain abbreviations (e.g. for trains) can provide an additional indication of whether long-distance connections are involved.
    Examples of long-distance trains include RJX (Railjet xpress), RJ (Railjet), ICE (InterCity-Express), IC (Intercity), EC (Eurocity), EN (Euronight), D (Schnellzug), Nightjet, WEST (Westbahn)

    Further explanations of symbols can also be found directly at ÖBB.
