Austrian 18-year-olds are to get a free KlimaTicket

In order to encourage public transport use among the younger generation, the government will provide every 18-year-old with a free KlimaTicket
PUBLISHED 20.10.2023
One of the targets of the national 2024 budget is to encourage young people to use public transport. As a result, each 18-year-old in Austria will get a free KlimaTicket, which is valid for one year. The initiative is valued at EUR 120M.

Each person will have a maximum of 3 years after turning 18 to claim the ticket from the government. Those who already have a KlimaTicket will have to wait until their current one expires before they can receive the free one.
