At least for me, one return trip at the reduced rate pays for the price of buying the railcard (which is valid for 12 months).

It's not like one has to sit down with Excel to figure out where the break-even point lies! If I don't make any additional rail journeys in Austria over the next year, I'm still not out of pocket...

If you do only one trip a year, then that trip costs 140€ (37 * 2 + 66)

If you do the trip 10 times a year then it costs 81€ per trip (37 * 2 + 66 / 10).

So in this case the occasional rider pays 59€ more per trip than the regular rider.
