Good morning, I would like to know if the Vienna card is valid 48 hours = if I validate it at noon, it lasts 48 hours (f.e. from Monday 12:00 to Wednesday 12:00) or 2 days = Monday, Tuesday? Many thanks, Eva
Hi, Eva.
The 24h/48h/72h tickets refer to hours. The 24/48/72h refer to the period of validity of the Wiener Linien ticket. This is valid for the exact period you selected during personalisation.
The 7-day ticket refers to calendar days. This is valid for the exact period you selected when personalising your ticket.
