the bussystem is not very good, transport is mainly done by train in Austria.
Maybe you are under 26, then I know a way that you pay just half of that price !

The short answer: From Vienna to Salzburg the only practical public transport choice is train.

The long answer:
In Austria, just like in many other European countries the bus system exists to serve places not served by trains. So trying to use it to avoid taking a train is often quite complicated, or downright impossible as busses are not intended to be used for this. Buses are local transport, not intercity transport.

The completely wrong answer:
Eurolines, who can only transport you from places within Austria to places outside of Austria (and vice versa).
