When Vienna musician Romina Mayer bought the KlimaTicket, she got unlimited access to every form of public transportation in Austria for 1095 per year. She even got the early bird rate of 949, so her transportation costs dropped by 30%. The KlimaTicket sold 134,000 tickets in the first two months after it was introduced in October 2021, shattering the government's first-year target by over 30% before 2022 began. It is part of achieving the Austrian government plans to make mobility climate-neutral by 2040. In Salzburg, the number of transit users has multiplied since a low cost annual travel pass was introduced, while last year in Vienna, 800,000 users bought an annual transit ticket for public transport at the low cost of 412. That is more than 40% of the capital's population and more than the number of car owners in the city.
