Vienna is one of the world's cities with the highest quality
of life (see annual studies/statistics by Mercer
and the Economist).
One of the criteria for its high ranking: Vienna's public
transport system. A vital part of the city's infrastructure
and one of Europe's most modern: the first underground line
only opened in 1978.
In 2024 an annual ticket costing €365 was purchased by
more than 1.3 million people, two-thirds of the Viennese population.

If you
want to see the city, get on a tram
In addition to its underground system Vienna has one of the
world's largest city-wide
tram systems, an integral part
of Viennese daily life.
And the great thing about the trams? Stay on them long enough
and you end up where you started. It's impossible to get lost
with a tram. |

"The car has become
an article of dress without
which we feel uncertain,
unclad and incomplete
in the urban compound."
Marshall McLuhan
