Innsbruck’s public transport network is operated by IVB – Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe. The highly efficient and fast service consists of buses and trams with which it is really easy to get around Innsbruck. Furthermore, the historic center can be easily explored on foot: many areas are pedestrianized.
INNSBRUCK TRAM
The tram lines, active from early morning to late evening, are highly efficient and punctual. The Trams are extremely modern: numerous vehicles with low floor circulate, allowing easy use even for people with reduced mobility. The trams circulate with frequencies from 15 minutes, at peak times, to a maximum of 30′ after 21:00. While the letters are associated with the road line, the tram lines are associated with numbers.
Next to lines 1, 2, 2A, 3, 5 and 6, there is the STB, the Stubaitalbahn interurban tram line. It connects Innsbruck HBF main train station with Fulpmes train station.
Trams are also known as Trambahn or Strassenbahn. They cross the areas of the old town, suburbs, Saggen, Wilten, Pradl, Igls, and small towns and villages of Stubai.
GETTING AROUND INNSBRUCK BY BUS
The road network is the best, and fastest, way to get around the city. Buses run daily from Monday to Sunday, serving all areas of Innsbruck and the suburbs. Races, quite frequent, start from 05:45 approximately, up to 23:00. In addition, a dense bus network of the Tyrolese transport company VVT connects the Capital of the Alps with neighboring countries and regions.
Anyone wishing to move to Innsbruck even in the middle of the night will have no problems. The 5 night lines, N1, N2, N3, N7 and N8, are running from 23:00 to 05:00 in the morning. The IVB Nightliner operates in the central area of the city, or the so-called Kernzone, and all have in common the Hauptbanhof stop, the Central Railway Station. At night, you can even move with regional buses, run by the Tyrolean VVT. More info from this link.
