Zone system
The zone system applies for all travelcards in the entire Arcobaleno network area. The zone plan shows you how many adjoining zones (areas) you must pay for to go from A to B.
Irrespective of whether you are travelling by train, bus, ship or funicular – all types of public transport are included in the price of the zones you have paid for within the period of validity.
Outside the network area
For journeys beyond the borders of the network, network tickets are only valid up to the last timetabled stop within the zones purchased.
The network tickets are not valid in SBB trains that do not stop in the zones paid for.
Nighttime network
With the night trains of the regional network TILO, you can travel at night from Friday into Saturday and from Saturday into Sunday until the early hours of the morning in the Ticino.
To use the TILO night service, all you need is a valid ticket (standard ticket, Arcobaleno regional travelcard, GA travelcard, etc.). You do not need to pay a night supplement.
