ÖBB: An Overview

ÖBB is the abbreviation for the Austrian Federal Railways (Österreichische Bundesbahnen). This is the national railway company of Austria, which operates local and long-distance rail transport in the Alpine republic, but also operates bus and shipping services. In addition to domestic operations, it also operates connections to neighbouring countries. The takeover of all night trains in Germany by ÖBB, for example, attracted particular attention. The Group's own subsidiary Rail Cargo Austria is responsible for freight transport.
