The long-distance bus route X96 between Graz and the Vienna-Schwechat airport has again been suspended for an indefinite period of time. Operator Dr. Richard hopes that this can be offered again from spring 2022.

The shuttle service to Austria's largest airport offered under the Flixbus brand was only reactivated on July 1, 2021 after a long “Corona break”. Since October 22, 2021, the wheels have been idle again for an indefinite period of time. The bus company Dr. Richard explains that the last time you had "significantly too low passenger frequencies".

Furthermore: "Due to pessimistic forecasts for air traffic in the next few months, we are assuming that the line will not be able to celebrate a comeback until spring 2022". Line 96, which runs between Vienna and Graz under the Flixbus brand, is not affected by this decision.

The climate ticket is not valid on the two Austrian long-distance bus routes. Dr. Richard: “Unfortunately, all KlimaTickets are not valid for the time being on all Flixbus routes, not even on 096 and X96. The BMK does not want to integrate these lines into the climate ticket at the moment ”.
