Why are Wiener Linien trying to ruin the reputation of Vienna and Austria?Actually not me, but my wife was the victim of the Wiener Linien. We bought a trap called "24 Stunden WIEN" ticket printed on huge characters: the time & date when you bought so she thought it will valid from this timestamp for 24 hours. Next day (hours before expiring of the ticket) she run into the rude, tuggish and unpolite inspectors. She were treated as criminal, made photos about her ID and forced to pay the fine of €105 under the threat of physical harm or calling the police to double the fine, just because there was not stamp on it.I made a written complaint about the treating of my wife. I asked them to investigate the case. They could not understand it is not about the fine, but the reputation. I did not ask back the fine never, be happy with that Wiener Linien, I wrote in my all email. Answers always: "A refund of EUR 105.00 is not possible, we ask for your understanding.", but they didn't apologize about treating Tourists never.We will be avoiding Vienna far again because of this. There are plenty of other capital cities to visit in Europe where you aren’t treated like a criminal.So be careful with them, unfortunately I found this site to late...
