Fare zones are geographical areas that are defined throughout the entire Upper Austrian fare network. Each zone is shown like a honeycomb on a map. There are a total of 448 regional zones and three core zones: Linz, Wels and Steyr.

Purpose of the fare zones

The main purpose of the fare zones is to calculate fares based on the number and type of zones travelled through. This means that the more zones you travel through, the higher the fare.

Core zones

The core zones are special fare zones with a particularly dense public transport network. These zones have their own fares and surcharges. The core zones include the cities of Linz, Wels and Steyr.

Fare calculation

Fares are calculated based on the number of zones travelled through. Special core zone fares apply for journeys within a core zone. If you use a core zone in combination with regional zones, a core zone surcharge applies.

OÖVV Info SymbolExample
If you travel from a regional zone to the Linz core zone, for example, you pay the fare for the regional zone plus a surcharge for using the core zone.
