Wiener Linien's WienMobil app (launched 2017) bundles route planning, ticketing and real-time departures. Since 2018 it pairs with ~250 physical WienMobil Stations citywide (about 100 full-service), linking transit to bike-share, car-share (incl. EVs), e-scooters and EV charging. A Tap+Ride contactless-payment pilot with Visa Österreich launched May 2026 at 15 devices across 9 stations.
