MOBILITY IN STYRIA
When on holiday in Styria, the engine of your own car remains cold. The public transport network leaves nothing to be desired in terms of mobility.
And in places where buses and trains do not run, innovative solutions are used. The WEINmobil is the safe solution for wine lovers along the South Styrian Wine Route. And with the ski and hiking buses in the Schladming-Dachstein region, you can travel in comfort from your accommodation to the ski area or to the starting point of your hike.
The Graz lines as well as the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), the Steiermärkische Landesbahnen (STLB) and the Graz-Köflacher Bahn (GKB) ensure mobility in Graz and the holiday regions of Styria.
Good to know: With Rail&Drive, ÖBB offers a flexible combination of travelling by train and car.
The right ticket for every journey
From hourly tickets for day trips to special leisure tickets for weekend trips - Styria has the right ticket for every holidaymaker.
Experience Graz for free
This makes travelling by tram even more fun: between Jakominiplatz and Hauptplatz plus one stop in both directions, visitors travel for free on the Altstadt Bim. Simply look out for the ‘Altstadt Bim’ sticker and you can start your journey through the UNESCO World Heritage city.
FLUX - SHARED TAXI FOR THE STYRIAN CENTRAL REGION
Mobility in and around Graz: GUSTmobil, GUSTmobil Graz and VOmobil became FLUX. FLUX, the shared taxi service, connects routes and people in the districts of Graz-Umgebung, Voitsberg and the outskirts of the city of Graz.
