Ticket counter “uneconomical”
ÖBB emphasizes that it is “obliged to act economically”. In addition, the majority of ticket sales are already carried out via the Internet or smartphone anyway. “However, no existing passenger ticket office will be closed without an alternative location being available,” explains a railway spokesman. For Mayor Silvia Drechsler, the so-called alternative locations “do not outweigh the loss of the counter at the train station”.
