 Trams in Vienna by Fam.Rauca
Services are frequent, and you will rarely have to wait more than five or 10 minutes.
Public transport kicks off around 5am or 6am. Buses and trams finish between 11pm and midnight, and S-Bahn and U-Bahn services between 12.30am and 1am.
Twenty-one Nightline bus routes crisscross the city from 12.30 am to 5am.
Schwedenplatz, Schottentor, and the Oper are starting points for many services; look for buses and bus stops marked with an "N". All tickets are valid for Nightline services.
Transport maps are posted in all U-Bahn stations and at many bus and tram stops.
Free maps and information pamphlets are available from Wiener Linien, located in 25 U-Bahn stations.
The Karlsplatz, Stephansplatz, and Westbahnhof information offices are open from 6.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday and 8.30am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday.
Those at Florisdorf, Spittelau, Praterstern, Philadelphiabrücke, Landstrasse, and Volkstheater are closed on weekends. Leave a Comment

As with most other European cities I visited, Vienna has a transportation card for tourists that allows for unlimited transport with entry discounts to most major attractions. For 16.90 Euro, you can travel for 72 hours on the city's U-Bahn, S-Bahn, bus, tram routes. There are disccounts at museums, theaters, concerts, restaurants and cafes. The card is available from most hotels and hostels, all Tourist Information Offices and standard information offices at Stephansplatz, Karlsplatz, Westbahnhof and Landstrasse.

I wanted to buy my tickets from a person but none of the subway stations I visited had one, so I bought them with a machine under a sign called "Fahrkarte". This is for those of you who haven't bought tickets with a machine (I haven't until this trip):
(1) Touch the screen
(2) Select your language or a language you understand well
(3) Choose which ticket you want to buy, press twice for 2 tickets (of the same), 3 times for 3 tickets, etc.
(4) Enter the money
(5) Pick up your tickets and change, if applicable.
After you buy the tickets, do NOT forget to validate them. You do NOT wanna get fined for this, considering that the fines are high and the price of the ticket is low. Theme: Bus

 My 72 hour ticket for 12 Euros by ErinInMD
You'll find the machines to purchase the tickets around various tram/metro stations. The touch screen will let you pick which language you want. There will be an option for what type of ticket you want. It'll prompt you for payment (credit cards are accepted) and out comes you ticket! There will blue boxes around the stations and on the trams to validate you ticket and you're done!
I find the tram to be a great way to see the city and it's a great if it starts to rain outside. Leave a Comment

 one way ticket for all
kinds of transport - 2
euro by desert_princess

This tip is for the transport card only not the one that allows access to museums etc.
Two 72 hour cards cost me just over 27 Euros. As soon as you have made journey number 8 the cards have paid for themselves. Valid on the U Bahn, S Bahn, Trams and Buses you simply cannot afford NOT to have one. I lost count of the number of times I used it.
Easy to buy from the self service machines. They take notes, coins and credit cards and have a number of different languages to help you.
Just a word of caution though if you fail to validate your card once purchased or if you ride the U Bahn with no card or an out of date one then you will be in serious trouble if you are caught. Theme: Train

 72 hour Vienna Card by WardrobeMK
You can order it here:
http://www.wienkarte.at/EN/?l=e
These are the disounts and benefits:
http://www.wien.info/article.asp?IDArticle=9400
Or you can buy it from the Info counter in the airport arrivals hall just before customs
and at almost any hotel.
We found it handy, you stamp it once when you arrive at the first U-bahn station / on a tram/bus you come across and it's valid 72 hours (or 24/48 h depending which card you buy) from there.
The little blue machines you stamp it in are at every entrance to public transport, usually at the top of the escalators and inside the trams/buses. Put in the machine in the direction of the arrow on the card, wait for the "ping" noise and you're done.
Vienna public transport is based on a "honour" system, you buy a ticket or you don't but inspectors are about and it's a 60 Euro fine if you are caught.
You don't need to show the card it to anyone unless you get asked to see it by an inspector. We got inspected once, on the tram back from Grinzing. Four people on the tram didn't have tickets and had to get off immediately and got a fine.
We got discounts on the CAT airport train, Freud Museum and the Donauturm tower.
The CAT airport train is a handy and fast way to get into city, it's 7.50 Euros per person with the Vienna Card.

You can buy the tickets from the conductor to get the discount.

 A "New" Tram ... there are old
ones too. by Redwraith, 1 more photos
There are 5 Subway Lines (Line No. 5 does not exist ... politics) and numerouse Tram and Bus Lines. (Buses have a A after the number so Line No. 48 is a Tram 48A is a bus)
There are are also 4 Tram Lines which use Letters instead of Numbers (D,J,N,O) so dont be confused.
From 00.30 - 5.00 there are night lines which operate on a 30 Minute Shedule and are especially in the outer districts rather scarce. Which means that taking a cab is the faster option. (But also the much more expansive one)
If you have a Day / Week Pass you can also use the Trains of the OBB (but only inside the city limits). Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro
