SBB: Help - Online Timetable - Search
Entry fields «from» and «to»
Please enter starting point and destination in these two entry fields. This can be a station/stop, address or landmark.
If the search produces several results, please select the preferred place from the list.
The default setting for the search is the list field “Any” i.e. the search covers the entire database. However, the search can be restricted to the following areas:
- Stn./stop: to search for connections to stations and stops
- Place, Street no.: to search for connections to a particular address
- Landmark: to search for connections to a landmark
Entry field «Via»
In principle, you can leave this field empty. Entering data is only necessary if you wish to travel on a different route from the normal one. If that is the case, please enter the preferred station or stop which the route should include in this field.
If the search produces several results, please select the preferred Via station from the list.
Checkbox «Search for more alternative services»
As well as the “quickest” connections and “easiest” connections with fewer changes (but a slightly longer travel time), this option displays alternative connections that are only slightly slower, but have other advantages like tourist routes.
Entry field «Date»
In this field please enter your preferred date of travel. The default setting for the field is the current date. The date given should be in the form of day, month and year, in each case with two digits. Click on the arrows on the right next to the data field to select the previous day (left arrow) or the next day (right arrow).
However, you can also click on “Calendar”. Another window will then open up, in which you can select your date of travel from a calendar.
