Myself and other hundreds of visitors report same identical issue: Wiener Linien seems to target visitors and fine them even with valid, validated tickets. Ticket machines provide no clear information, yet controllers expect you to know hidden rules and to keep moving quickly without stopping/ interrupting your journey in the metro. Which they mean you have to be on the go constantly the second you validate your ticket! Isn’t it insane? Otherwise they decide you’re “moving too slowly” to your destination and your ticket is expired even within your 80 minute frame time. And they may stop you and aggressively demand the fine. Controllers a somehow rude and aggressive. The on who stopped us kept us for over an hour before handing the fine!
