All persons who have a permanent main or secondary residence in the region and can therefore (theoretically) use the VVT service 365 days a year are not included in the transport scheme. This applies to all citizens and therefore also landlords. Since June 2019, VVT monthly tickets have been available in every information office, which every holder of a BürgerCard, FreizeitwohnsitzCard or StaffCard can borrow free of charge up to 10 times a year and use them to travel throughout Tyrol on public transport! This offer is 100% financed by the tourism association.
