!!!Verkehrsverbünde

Transport Associations (Verkehrsverbuende), associations of several 
transport companies in a region in order to standardise tariff and 
ticket systems, harmonise timetables and improve customer appeal.

Verkehrsbetriebe (Vienna Transport Association), Lokalbahn Wien- Baden 
(local railway), and a number of regional buses. The following 
transport associations were established between 1985 and 1995:

Innsbrucker Verkehrsverbund (IVV), Verkehrsverbund Oberoesterreich 
(VVBO), Tarifverbund Vorarlberg, Verkehrsverbund Grossraum Graz,
