We are delighted that you have chosen to bring your passengers to Vienna and invite you to take note of the tips and guidelines in this brochure. In high season we team up with the Wirtschaftskammer Wien to employ bus supervisors to assist you at the most important boarding and alighting points.
Bus parking spaces Passengers may board and alight at chargeable bus parking areas at no cost for up to 30 minutes. Boarding and alighting must be clear to the parking attendant. There is always a charge for parking (irrespective of duration). Tickets are available at the parking lot ticket machines.
Passengers alighting Please drive away once passengers have alighted. Failure to adhere to the regulations will result in fines.
Towing away of buses Buses parked in such a way that they block traffic may be towed away or clamped, for example when parked in alighting and boarding zones. In the case of clamping, go to the nearest police station. If your bus has been towed away, go to the municipal administration (Magistrat) department 48, tel. +43 1 76043 (daily 0–24 h).
Please turn off your motor – no overnighting on the bus Please turn off your motor when the bus is parked. Staying in buses overnight is prohibited in Vienna with the exception of camp sites and private land.
No nighttime bus parking from 22 till 6h Buses may not be parked within 25 meters of residential housing (exemptions are marked with signs). Ask at your Vienna hotel for the nearest nighttime parking lot.
Short-stay parking zones After one minute you will need a ticket (filled in and placed behind the windshield). Short-stay parking zones are only marked in the entry areas to each district. To find out on which days and for how long parking is permitted, see the signs or consult the Vienna Tourist Board short-stay parking zone brochure. Short-stay tickets are available at tobacconists’ (Tabak Trafik), gas stations and Vienna Transport Authority (Wiener Linien) sales counters.
Bus zone year-round – Access to city centre Access to the area inside the Ring and Franz-Josefs-Kai is permitted at any time for passengers to board and alight, but only with a valid bus access permit. You can acquire this permit from the facility concerned (hotel/events venue/restaurant). Please apply to the facility directly. For information on chargeable bus parking on the periphery of the city centre, see detailed map.
Bus zone special regulations Access restriction for buses – unless holding a valid bus access permit – on the 4 Saturdays during Advent. On special occasions (see www.bus.vienna.info) restrictions apply to the 1st, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th districts.
