New night buses in the Zillertal: comfortable and safe into nightlife!

Mayrhofen, Österreich - On December 15, 2024, an important innovation in public transport occurs in the Zillertal. The transport connections between Mayrhofen and Jenbach will be expanded by two additional bus trips on Friday and Saturday evening.

The newly introduced bus connections include a bus that drives from Mayrhofen to Jenbach at 10:35 p.m. and another that runs from Jenbach Tweetz towards Mayrhofen at 11:45 p.m. These additional offers were planned in close coordination with the existing train connections in the Inntal, which means that travelers from Innsbruck or even Vienna can easily get to Mayrhofen from 7:28 p.m. This is particularly advantageous for employees of late services and those interested in culture who want to remain mobile in the evening, according to those responsible.
