About this site
ubahnwien.com is an independent passenger guide to the Vienna U-Bahn. This page says who makes it, where the numbers come from and how we correct mistakes.
What this site is — and is not
ubahnwien.com explains the five lines of the Vienna U-Bahn: every station with its real departure times, the connecting lines, what is around it and how long the ride into the centre takes. We are an independent information service and belong neither to Wiener Linien nor to Wiener Linien. We do not sell tickets; where buying is involved we link to wienerlinien.at.
The operator is always the authority. For engineering work, disruptions and short-notice changes, what wienerlinien.at and Wiener Linien app say is what counts.
How we work
The operator first, everything else second
Timetable figures come from the official Wiener Linien GTFS feed, fares from the operator’s own tariff factsheet, service alerts from their open real-time interface. Press coverage and Wikipedia are used to cross-check, not as a source.
What we do not know, we do not write
Where the operator publishes nothing, we say so instead of printing a plausible number. That is why you will not find invented lists of exits or lifts per station here.
“Real time” only where it actually comes from
Wiener Linien publish their service alerts openly — that is what feeds the status bar at the top of the page. Every clock time on the station pages, by contrast, is a scheduled time from the GTFS feed and is labelled as one: we do not show the delay of an individual train.
Corrections are published, not quietly swapped
When we get something wrong it goes into the dated correction log on Where the data comes from.

Who is behind this site
This site is run by the team at GoRandom, a small group based in the Basque Country in Spain who do two things that go together better than they sound: travel, and build websites.
Vienna is not yet one of the cities we have set foot in — we are up to twenty and we move slowly. We would rather say so than pretend otherwise: what you read here does not come from our memories, it comes from what the operator publishes and from checking work we can show you.
The other half of what we know how to do is web development, and this site is the excuse to put the two together. We do not leave it sitting there: every fare and every timetable carries its source and the date we checked it, and they get revised when the operator changes something. The last thorough revision was in August 2026: first and last trains are now given per line and direction from Wiener Linien’s official GTFS — the «05:00–00:30» that used to be here was wrong for every single line.
He decides what goes up, checks the data before it does, and answers the email. If you find a fare that has expired or a timetable that no longer holds, there is a specific person to write to.
