Vehicle fleet
With the takeover of the bus company WLBB of Wiener Lokalbahnen in March 2012, 34 buses of the Mercedes-Benz Citaro brand with emission standard Euro 3 or EEV were also taken over. These were primarily used on lines 16A, 33A, 37A, 67A, 70A and 80A taken over by the WLBB. All buses with the EEV emissions standard that were taken over by the WLBB were repainted and given the Wiener Linien paintwork and a four-digit car number instead of the three-digit car number used by the WLBB. The Euro 3 cars kept their local railroad livery and their three-digit car number. In the meantime, all of the local train stocks have been eliminated and numerous new vehicles have been purchased.
Herbert Gschwindl Buslinien GmbH's fleet currently comprises around 100 low-floor city buses, which are stationed in the depots at Trauzlgasse (Vienna 21), Hackinger Straße (Vienna 14, Dr. Richard) and Oberlaaer Straße (Vienna 23). All vehicles are powered by diesel engines and have air conditioning.
