Er... sounds good, but first they say "All public transport in Austria with a single ticket", and later "...in a specific area for a year: regional, cross-regional and nationwide". And after that, there is only one price (with various rebates) listed for the "Klimaticket Ö". Are there cheaper versions planned which are limited to e.g. one ("regional") or two ("cross-regional") states (Bundesländer)? I checked the German version, it's not a translation mistake. EDIT: Ok, found out myself, thanks Wikipedia! All but one (Kärnten) states already have a yearly public transportation ticket, with prices ranging from 365€ (Vorarlberg and Vienna) to 695 € (Oberösterreich). I guess these will be called "Klimaticket" too in the future. Might have made sense to mention this in the FAQ though... BTW the introduction date, 26.10.2021, is the Austrian National Day.

I spent one year (gap internship) in Vorarlberg, the yearly price was about €400. They had a 50% discount if you were under 26 And a (cumulable) 50% first-time only discount if you already had a driver license I ended up paying €100 for a card that allowed me to ride any train or bus in the region for one year, whenever I wanted. I ended up biking most of the time, but I did commute by train for a while. In the end I didn't use it that much, but buying it was a no-brainer. I should also mention that some of the train lines you could take crossed the Swiss and German borders.

The original idea by our green party was a "1-2-3 Ticket" which means 365€ for one state, double for two states, and triple for all states (per year for all public transport). They just renamed the "3" ticket to climate ticket when they introduced it, meanwhile work on "1" and "2" is still ongoing in some places afaik.
