There is an internet site with a list of the lines which are going to be checked for black riders (http://apps.vienna.at/tools/schwarzkappler/). Schwarzkappler is an Austrian slang term for the ticket controllers. Although the site takes her information from a reliable source (the "Wiener Linien" herself) there had not been yet a proof how reliable that information is.
 
Another website where the passengers inform where and when did they see controllers: http://schwarzkappler.info/ Main Austrian cities and some German as well. Facebook and Twitter pages.
:I got checked the very first time I blackride in Vienna. At the time I didn't bring any money with me and didn't have my passport with me. The police told me to step out of the car and told me that they needed to take me to police station (since I couldn't pay the fine and couldn't show them my passport). And then they talked to each other for a few minutes and told me to go upstairs and buy a ticket. I returned with my ticket and gave it to them and continued my trip. Since then, no more black riding for me in Vienna,
