Which trams run in Innsbruck?
Our Innsbruck timetables list the tram lines 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 and the Stubaitalbahn (STB), which runs from the city into the Stubai Valley.

How do buses work in Innsbruck?
Innsbruck city buses are marked with letters rather than numbers. Our data includes lines such as A, C, D, F, J, K, M, R, T and W, plus regional lines with three-digit numbers like 501, 502 and 504. Buses fill the gaps between the tram lines and take you up to the residential areas on the slopes around the city.
Trams and buses share many stops, so changing is simple. The Innsbruck stops page lists every stop with the lines that serve it.
Are there night buses in Innsbruck?
Yes. Our timetables include five night lines: N1, N2, N3, N7 and N8. They take over after the regular service ends. See their departures on the Innsbruck night buses page. For trips to the surrounding region, the S-Bahn lines S3, S4 and S6 are also in our Innsbruck timetables.

The reduced fare applies to children from 6, young people under 20, pupils, apprentices, people with disabilities and seniors from 65. Paper tickets are validated on board. Online tickets must be activated before boarding and are not transferable.

Up to four children under 6 travel free with an accompanying person; each further child under 6 pays the reduced fare. With the EuregioFamilyPass one adult pays, and the second adult and the family's children under 15 travel free. All fares are on our Innsbruck tickets page.
Which Innsbruck ticket should I buy?
For a single trip, buy the ticket online if you can: it costs the same €3.30 as the paper ticket but is valid for 90 minutes instead of 45. If you ride a few times a week, the 8-trip ticket at €19.10 brings the price per trip down to under €2.40. The 24-hour ticket at €7.30 pays off from the third ride of the day, since three single tickets cost €9.90. For four days or more, the weekly ticket at €28.40 is cheaper than four 24-hour tickets (€29.20). Travelling as a family? The 2Plus 24-hour ticket at €10.80 covers two adults and three children. Residents should compare the monthly ticket at €71.80 with the KlimaTicket Innsbruck at €475.20 a year.
