GA-related services.

We offer a range of additional services relating to the GA travelcard. If you don't need it for a while, you can deposit it at a ticket counter. If you lose your GA travelcard, or have left it somewhere – all is not lost.

Depositing your GA travelcard.

If you don't need your GA travelcard for at least seven consecutive days, you can deposit it at a ticket counter for a maximum total of 30 days during its period of validity. We charge a fee of CHF 10 for each deposit period. We will issue you with an SBB receipt as a temporary replacement for your GA travelcard valid up to three days prior to the official date of deposit and three days after the official date of retrieval. You cannot deposit the Familia GA travelcard for children and young adults, the transferable GA or the GA for dogs.
