How it works

These are the key steps, in the right order. Answer the short questions; then you see exactly what applies to you and what is added.

  1. 1Use your confirmed discountA reduction is a discount. You pay less for the ticket. The tariff is the railway's price rule.Key step
    Why?
    This plan only fits if the ÖBB has already confirmed your discount. The app does not work out whether you get it.
    What you do
    Do not enter passport numbers or health data here. Preparing is not buying. It is not a valid ticket yet.
    Where?
    ÖBBDirectly with the named service
    In detail

    Use confirmed own tariff instead of eligibility calculation

    Plan assumes personally confirmed own evidence or tariff. Enter no disability degrees, pass numbers or travel booking data; preparation is neither purchase nor travel entitlement.

  2. 2Check your BehindertenpassProof is a paper that shows something is true. Here it is usually the Austrian Behindertenpass with the right entry.Key step
    Why?
    Not every entry gives you a discount. The entry saying public transport is unreasonable for you is not enough on its own.
    What you do
    Have the ÖBB check your proof. Ask the ÖBB directly. Nothing medical is judged here.
    Where?
    ÖBBDirectly with the named service
    In detail

    Directly confirm own actual evidence

    Unreasonable-public-transport entry alone is no fare reduction. ÖBB or the Social Ministry Service identify own Austrian pass with tariff degree or fare-reduction entry; have provider personally review, no medical assessment here.

  3. 3Choose the type of ticketThe product is the kind of ticket. For example a single trip or a season ticket. Each kind has its own rules.Key step
    Why?
    The price rules sometimes change. The rule for your travel day counts. The discount does not apply to every ticket automatically.
    What you do
    Check with the ÖBB which rule applies on your travel day. For Verbund tickets, Sparschiene or trips abroad, ask separately.
    Where?
    ÖBBDirectly with the named service
    In detail

    Review actual product and temporally valid tariff version

    On 11 October 2026 handbook 7 September–14 October 2026 applies; apply no already published next version prematurely. Review appropriate version for actual travel day. Association defines own reduction, no universal ÖBB50% discount for season ticket, Sparschiene or abroad.

  4. 4Take your proof with you on the tripOn the train your ticket is checked. Then you must also show why you pay less.Key step
    Why?
    Without the right proof your discount ticket may not be valid. A photo on your phone is not automatically enough.
    What you do
    Ask the ÖBB which proof you need. Take your confirmed proof on every trip.
    Where?
    ÖBBDirectly with the named service

    What you need

      Document explained

      Directly clarify actual accepted form and carriage with provider; no pass copy in app.

      Requirement

  5. 5Choose a paper or phone ticketThe ticket medium is the form of your ticket. For example on paper or on your phone.Key step
    Why?
    At the check, your ticket must be easy to see. This app does not make a ticket for you.
    What you do
    Check where you buy and in which form you get the ticket. Does it need to be printed? Before the trip, make sure you can show it.
    Where?
    ÖBBDirectly with the named service
    In detail

    Confirm actual ticket and inspection route

    Personally review chosen sales channel, ticket medium and needed display or print route. This plan creates no ticket and confirms no digital display; retain actual evidence before travel.

  6. 6Get everything ready for the tripHere you get everything ready for the trip. You only buy the ticket once the ÖBB has confirmed everything.Key step
    Why?
    Without a valid ticket and proof there can be problems at the check.
    What you do
    Take your ticket and your proof with you. You book help with boarding separately. The app books and pays nothing.
    Where?
    ÖBBDirectly with the named service
    In detail

    Organisationally prepare confirmed own ticket route

    Purchase personally only after actual provider review or use existing ticket. Before travel actually carry valid ticket and accepted evidence; assistance separately confirmed. No app payment or booking.
