micro BUS:SI in Villach

Der neue mikro-BUS:SI


More connections, more flexibility, more possibilities.
The new micro-BUS:SI goes everywhere.


The micro-BUS:SI is a flexible addition to the exsting Villach city bus service, the BUS:SI. The micro-BUS:SI is a classic "MIKRO ÖV" service – on the one hand, it operates as an on-demand service to districts that previously had no connection to the public bus network (such as Serai or Gritschach), and on the other hand, it runs on new routes and strengthens existing bus lines.

The micro-BUS:SI is a small vehicle that can accomodate up to eight passengers, and it can be converted to provide a wheelchair-accessible space. For all detailed information about the mikro-BUS:SI vehicle, please call the hotline at
04242 / 205 05 05 or visit the BUS:SI information point at Hans-Gasser-Platz in person.

What does "MICRO ÖV" actually mean?

The term Micro-ÖV stands for Mikro-Öffentlicher Verkehr, which translates to Micro-Public Transport. This involves the transportation of people in smaller vehicles, such as minibuses or taxis, on designated routes within a specific area. The goal of Mikro-ÖV is to offer a flexible and demand-oriented mobility solution, aiming to fill gaps in the public transport network and thus provide better accessibility in less densely populated areas.

What the new micro-BUS:SI can do (including timetables):

  • Wollanig: Unterwollaniger Straße

What are stops/stations now?

At the aforementioned locations, stops have been established. These are marked with signs. Here, the micro-BUS:SI picks up passengers - and it also brings them back. Here's how it works:
  • Call-on-demand service: Simply call the micro-BUS:SI HOTLINE T 04242 205 05 05 at least one hour before departure to register your ride.
  • The micro-BUS:SI then takes passengers to either the main train station or Hans-Gasser-Platz as central transfer points.
  • The operating hours of the micro-BUSare from Monday to Friday from 6 AM to 8 PM, Saturdays from 6 AM to 8 PM, and on Sundays and public holidays from 8 AM to 6 PM. 
  • Return trip: The micro-BUS:SI will also take passengers back to the stop from Hauptbahnhof or Hans-Gasser-Platz - simply arrange the return trip at the same time as your outbound journey or call the hotline again.
  • Fare: Normal network fares - Carinthian Klimaticket also valid!
Note: The waiting time depends on the occupancy of the buses but is limited to a maximum of one hour. The demand-oriented service ensures that the bus only departs when it is actually needed. This eliminates empty trips and conserves resources.

Symbol für RuflinienverkehrWhat does Ruflinienverkehr mean?

Services marked with a telephone symbol fall under the category of 'on-demand service'. Here, the bus operates the service only if the ride request is registered by phone at least one hour prior to departure through the micro-BUS:SI HOTLINE at T 04242/205 05 05. For example: If the scheduled departure at the desired stop according to the timetable is at 10:33 AM, the ride request must be registered by phone no later than 09:32 AM.

Thanks to the demand-oriented service, the bus only operates when it is truly needed. This eliminates empty trips and conserves resources. The standard regional fare for the respective zone applies (Climate and Carinthia tickets are valid).
