Wtestbahn has become the first open-access operator to challenge Austrian Federal Railways (OBB) in Austria's domestic long-distance market, with the launch on December 11 of its Vienna - Linz - Salzburg service. The company operates at least 11 services per day at roughly hourly intervals, with a journey time of less than three hours for the 308km trip. All tickets are sold online or on board trains. Westbahn has consistently denied it would enter a price war with OBB, although it has offered 7500 €7.50 tickets just days after OBB put 25,000 €15 tickets on its website.
