I recommend taking the train:

Direct trains to Bratislava depart from the "Suedbahnhof" at 6:06 (De7),
8:15, 10:22, 12:22, 16:09, 16:15, 17:22, 19:22 (De56), 21:15.
Trains from Bratislava to Vienna: 5:00 (De67), 6:02 (De7), 6:12, 8:05,
12:50, 13:00, 15:07, 17:50, 19:07.
The train trip takes about 1:20.

From Dec. 14 the service will be improved and there will be 14 daily direct
trains in each direction.

There is a special discounted ticket for day trips Vienna - Bratislava. The
return trip costs EUR 16. Ask for the "Euregio - Ausflugsticket".

Re: bus daytrip from Wien to Bratislava

If it is running now

i would take the hydrofoil

the bus is in any case better than the train.
it takes about 1.30 minutes.

There's no such thing as duty free inside a country.

STORE HOURS:

* Generally 8-6 (many with a 12:30 to 1:30 lunch break)
* Banks may close at 3:30
* Saturday, most stores close at 1 or 2
* Sunday a lot of foodstores are open, but they close at noon.

Why?

The bus takes more time, and is more expensive (return ticket EUR 21,5 - see
http://www.eurolines.sk/102806_tar_en.htm - vs. EUR 16 by train).

No:
The Bus takes 1:35 (Wien Suedtirolerplatz - Bratislava autobusova stanice
Nivy).
The train takes between 1:06 and 1:38 (Wien Suedbahnhof - Bratislava hl.
st.).

Also the train is cheaper: EUR 16 vs. EUR 21,50 - the bus is only cheaper
for Slovak resiedents buying tickets in Slovakia...

I would echo another poster's advice to take the hydrofoil.
It leaves from the hydrofoil station on Handelskai,
the same place where you catch the hydrofoil to Budapest.

When I took it in 2000, there was a package deal covering round trip
transport, a bilingual German-English tour from a friendly local tour
guide, a nice lunch, and free time to shop or sightsee. Also the
hydrofoil station is just a few steps from the old town; Mlynske Nivy,
where the buses let you off, is a good bit farther.

However, make sure the hydrofoil has not stopped running for the
winter!
