What we do

We are the Niederösterreich Bahnen. Over the past 27 years, we have developed into one of the most important transport companies in Lower Austria with our blue and yellow railways and mountain railways. Whether in local and regional transport or in the area of tourist transport, it is impossible to imagine Lower Austria without us. Since our foundation in 1993, we have taken 25 million people from A to B in a safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly way and provided them with unforgettable leisure experiences.
