We explore Vienna using only public transit, testing the city’s frequency, coverage, and ease of use while visiting multiple transit hubs, Schönbrunn Palace, the museum district, and many destinations along the way. Using buses, trams, U-bahn, S-Bahn, and 
bike share, we reflect on how Vienna supports true Freedom of Mobility. 

Some highlights: 

• a full day using U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, buses, bike share
• honor-system fares, all-door boarding, and ticket options
• U-Bahn frequency, station design, and transfers
• tram network scale, rolling stock mix, accessibility
• S-Bahn variety and major interchange hubs like Wien Meidling
• bus coverage, night service, and network redundancy
• street design that prioritises people over cars
• bike share usability, costs, and lane continuity
• contrasts with US systems and practical takeaways
• upcoming travel to Munich and Zurich
