- Avoid using your phone on public. You will see people who talk loudly but many people find it rude. Keep conversations to a quiet minimum and/or do as they do and text conversations.
- The silent dance: Be aware of those people whom you are blocking the door on buses and U-bahns. They will silently begin to adjust their things to imply they’re getting off at the next stop. Move a bit yourself in response to their subtle movements to show you’re aware and prepared to move. When the car begins to stop, move out of their way and nod in greeting as they pass. This is a successful transition!
- Occasionally people on crowded cars will ask if you’re getting off at the next stop to indirectly tell you they are getting off at the next stop. This also usually means that if you’re not getting off then they want to trade places with you to have an easier time getting off the car.
- Keep your bags in front of you as much as possible. This not only a security tip: you will also annoy your fellow riders less if you take up less room and not knock out an old lady with your backpack.
- If the car is mostly empty, feel free to use the seat next to yours to set bags, et at. However, if there are less than about 3 seats within view put you bags in you lap and tucked behind/in between your feet.
- Don’t feel you have to keep your ticket out, but know where it is at all times. Controllers check tickets at random on platforms, in cars, and at exits. They check the commuter trains coming and going from the airport most often.
- Remember that the Vienna airport is in Zone 2, so even if you have a regular Vienna ticket, you need to get an additional 1 zone ticket to and from the airport.
