general information about public transportation
We recommend either to download the app IVB scout on your smartphone
or use the web based query to be informed about the real time departure of each tram and bus connection within Innsbruck.
single-ticket valid for a single trip in one direction without changes in Innsbruck (core zone) - if the destination cannot be reached directly, a transfer within 30 minutes to other lines is permitted. You may purchase your ticket in advance either at a newsagent’s, from a ticket machine at the bus stop, from a parking metre with IVB ticket function or on the vehicle from the driver (incl.additional charge). Single tickets are valid immediately if purchased in the vehicle. A pre-purchased ticket needs to be stamped at the orange machines inside the bus.
for longer stays or more than two trips in a row, please consider purchasing a 24h, weekly or 8-trip ticket. Further information about ticket options and prices are available at the IVB website.
be aware: passengers without a valid ticket are charged a minimum fine of €70. If this fine is not remitted within 3 days, the fine is raised to €80.
be careful with the differently named bus and tram lines. Every public transport vehicle shows its final stop above the windshield. There are different possibilities and routes to reach the “Technik” campus of the University of Innsbruck. Please read the description of the various bus and tram routes on our website carefully. For further information please visit the public transportation website of the IVB and/or get a closer look at the network map of the IVB [here]
