The Half-Fare Card


All over Switzerland at half-price.

Save money every time you travel: with the Half-Fare travelcard, available for one, two or three years or in combination with a Visa card, you pay just half-price for your ticket – 1st or 2nd class.

The Half-Fare travelcard is valid on all SBB routes, and those of most private rail operators throughout Switzerland – as well as on a large number of Swiss mountain railways. The Half-Fare travelcard is also valid on postbuses, and on many of lake and river boats. In most cities and urban areas the Half-Fare travelcard entitles you to reduced fares on short-distance public transport services like trams and buses.

And what's more, the Half-Fare travelcard entitles you to discounts on RailAway leisure trips.

Over short distances (because of minimum fare), on reduced tickets or for some combined offers with add-ons, the discount with a Half-Fare travelcard may be less than 50%.


Half-Fare travelcard area of validity.

The Half-Fare travelcard is valid for the entire Swiss public transport network, which covers a total of 24,500 kilometres. The map gives details of the routes and public transport services included.


The Half-Fare travelcard for 16-year-olds.

The Half-Fare travelcard for 16-year-olds is a special form of the card at a reduced price for young persons who have reached the age of 16 and would like to buy their first Half-Fare travelcard. Example: If you were born in 1994, you reach the age of 16 in 2010 – and if you buy the Half-Fare travelcard for 16-year-olds this year, it costs you only CHF 94.
