Vienna's Mayor Michael Ludwig considers an expansion of the "Vienna Bonus" to other areas possible, for example in the sports or cultural sector.

The prerequisite for this would be that the EU allows separate tariffs for locals, as he explained in a conversation with media representatives on Tuesday. He welcomed the fact that the federal government is advocating for a new regulation here, he said.

Ludwig considers expansion of the "Vienna Bonus" possible

In Vienna, the bonus already exists, for example, in the allocation of municipal housing. Now, further areas are to be examined if the EU gives the green light. Special lift tickets like in winter sports regions are not an issue in Vienna due to the lack of ski areas. However, different prices in the sports or cultural sector are conceivable, the mayor explained: "I can very well imagine this for Vienna."
