While I do not have to take the U-Bahn to get to school, since this station is closest to my flat, if I need to get almost anywhere else not in immediate walking distance, this is the station I go to. Like I said earlier, the station is very simple as is the architecture, but I like that there are those windows to let some daylight into the station. There are two entrances, on on the far side of the exhibition center, and another near the Prater amusement park garage. Right across the cross walk from Motel One. Platform is the kind where trains arrive on both sides, so not one where you can accidentally end up on the wrong side, and take a train in the wrong direction. Elevators on both sides, but from what I have seen, the elevator on the Prater side has a tendency to get stuck. One time the thing broke while I was walking down the stairs next to it. The good news, however, is that in both cases, when I returned in a few hours, there was already a technician working on it. Escalator only on the Messe side. There is a station supervisors office in the station, but in the times I have been to that side of the station, the office was closed. Station is clean! it is not shiny, and I would not eat off the ground, but relative to some other train stations I have seen around the world, this one is pretty neat.

But it's nice, and clean! Signs are easy to read, the walking distances between subway lines isn't too far. They broadcast announcements clearly, and there are maps on the trains. Everything was well lit, clean, and easy to navigate! I especially liked the ease of getting tickets from the kiosks, available in a myriad of languages. Just remember to validate your ticket if you use it later. Unfortunately, you can't drink beer on the subway here in Vienna. Hmph.

As a first time tourist in Vienna I was super excited to see the city. My happiness quickly…read moredissipated when I was fined 105 Euro for a ticket that I had rightfully bought, but accidentally threw out due to the receipt of the ticket being as THIN AS PAPER and appearing like trash. After a long day of travel, I was confused as to why it was in my hand and as written, threw it out. The other traveler I was with did not make this mistake, and had immediate confirmation via a charge on credit of this mistake and proof of payment. Nevertheless, the person at the ticket station immediately fined me, and with such a tone as to say that I had no other options. Upon the help of a local, we went to dispute the charge as total ( original ticket, fee, replacement ticket) I had spent ~170 USD or 140 Euro on trains that I maybe used a handful of times. Even with all of the proper credit card charges, and proof of payment of said tickets/fee--due to their archaic processing system I got no resolution. In fact, I even had to dance between train stations to find the correct place to dispute because the workers at the desks at the stations misdirected me!!!!!! Even through all of this struggle their only consolation was that because I PAID THE FINE IMMEDIATELY, as a confused traveler does with no information of their options--I had no option to dispute it because in paying I "admit fault". Moreover, they couldn't even look me UP IN THE SYSTEM because when the fine was paid they didn't submit my information alongside it. A complete joke, and I was treated with a lot of disrespect from both representatives I interacted with--with no sympathy or even a sheen of admitting fault to their bogus practices and inability to properly log information of those who use their train systems. It appears based off reviews from other places that it is not friendly to tourists--and those travelling should beware of the many ways one could be fined inexplicably.
