• 1 month.
  
• 12 months.

• If you buy your Point-to-point Travelcard for 12 months. you only pay for 9.
• Children and young people aged at least 6 and under 25 benefit from an attractive discount.

If your chosen route lies within a fare network, you can buy a Regional Travelcard, but not a Point-to-Point Travelcard.

If you regularly travel between fare networks or outside a fare network and would like to use local transport, the Modular Travelcard is an ideal solution.

It is worth noting that purchasing a GA Travelcard is the best option beyond a certain distance. 

First-time purchasing online.

When purchasing online, the most important thing is your customer number in the format 000-000-000-0. If you have or had a SwissPass or a public transport travelcard in the last five years, you can find this number on your SwissPass card and use it to purchase your Point-to-Point Travelcard online.

If you used to have a travelcard but have forgotten the customer number, you can find out what it is by going to a public transport point of sale or phoning the SBB Contact Center on 0848 44 66 88 (CHF 0.08/min.).

If you would like to purchase a Point-to-Point Travelcard for another person online, they must also have a customer number.

Purchasing online with the identity check.

If you don’t have a travelcard or a SwissPass, you can still buy your new Point-to-Point Travelcard online. If you are buying a travelcard for the first time, we need to verify your identity. This identity check takes place online – you will need your passport or ID card and a smartphone with a camera. You will also need a recent, high-quality, digital passport photo.
