Not only is the climate ticket being restructured, there are also changes for ÖBB Vorteilscard users. The price of the "Vorteilscard Classic" is falling from 99 to 71 euros. However, the variant that cost 66 euros is also disappearing.

The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) announced on Tuesday that this will simplify the "product world for customers". The new rule applies with immediate effect for new customers and when renewing existing cards.

The price increase for the "Vorteilscard 66" is in any case a moderate one, the company emphasized. The costs have not been increased since 2017; adjusted for inflation, they are now actually 87 euros.

Further variants remain
Other variants of the Vorteilcard will remain. These include the "Comfort" for 86 euros, which offers half the fare and a seat reservation for half the price, "Family" (up to four children up to the age of 15 can travel for free for 19 euros), "Youth" (up to the age of 26 for 19 euros) and "Seniors" (from the age of 65, 29 euros).

All variants are valid for one year. This gives customers a 50 percent discount on ÖBB standard tickets.
