Z-Pass: Travelling in the Zurich residential and economic area.
 |
At a glance
The Zurich Transport Network (ZVV), the adjacent fare networks, A-Welle, FlexTax, Ostwind, Schwyz (including the March region) and Zug, as well as SBB, are combined in one travelcard network for the Zurich residential and economic area. You can therefore commute even more easily and comfortably between ZVV and the surrounding cantons.
The travelcard for the Zurich residential and economic area is called the Z-Pass. With the exception of some shipping lines, you can use this on all public transport within the zones paid for.
How to buy your Z-Pass ticket.
You can buy Z-Pass travelcards at any SBB ticket counter in the network area, in SBB Ticket Shop or at ticket machines (monthly travelpasses only). Please contact the Rail Service Helpdesk on 0900 300 300 (CHF 1.19/min. from the Swiss fixed-line network), should you have any questions.
Zone system
The zone system applies for all travelcards within the entire Z-Pass 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, tram or ship – 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.
