Vienna's Wienerlinien public transport network (U-Bahn, tram, bus) is one of the finest in Europe. For dog owners, the rules are clear: dogs in a carrier travel free on all Wienerlinien services; larger dogs require a child's ticket and must wear a muzzle. The rule is consistently enforced on the U-Bahn. Vienna's S-Bahn (operated by ÖBB) and night buses follow the same rules. Source: wienerlinien.at

| ÖBB S-Bahn (Vienna regional rail) | Dogs in a carrier: free. Larger dogs: half-price ticket + muzzle required. Dogs cannot sit on seats. Source: oebb.at | 💡 The ÖBB Schnellbahn (S-Bahn) lines are the best way to reach the Wienerwald and the wine villages in the Vienna Woods. |

| Fiaker (horse carriage) | Vienna's historic horse-drawn carriages (Fiaker) operate in the city centre. Dogs in a carrier are usually accepted. Larger dogs at the driver's discretion — always ask before boarding. | 💡 A Fiaker ride through the Ringstrasse with your dog is one of Vienna's most memorable experiences. |
