Bicycle bus & taxi
Mobility along the Ybbstal Cycle Path
A cycling trip on the Ybbstal Cycle Path does not only offer fun and exercise - it can also be tailored to individual time schedules and stamina.
Bicycle bus (Radtramper-Bus)
The bicycle bus (VOR bus line 656) is a convenient alternative to be picked up along the Ybbstal Cycle Path, when you're on a time crunch or your stamina has reached its limit.

Ybbstal bicycle taxi
This is a great opportunity for smaller groups of at least 4 people. During the summer months from May until October the bicycle taxi can be called alongside the Ybbstal Cycle Path from Mon - Sun between 8 a.m. & 6 p.m. via a quick call. Within 2 hours of booking the taxi from one of our two taxi partner companies will arrive to pick up the cyclists. Up to 16 bikes can be transported.
A minimum occupancy of 4 people (€ 100,-) must be paid per bus trip. Each additional person costs € 25,- per person and bike. In addition, the bike taxi drives selected routes to connection points (Amstetten, Scheibbs, Ybbs, Mariazell).
Special rates:
Ticket for small children without bike: € 5,-
Ticket for pets: € 5,-
A tip for cycling groups with fewer than four people: Please ask our bike taxi partners whether there are still individual places available on trips that have already been booked!
