Tickets and travelcards for children and young people.
Children travel on public transport at low prices or even free of charge throughout Switzerland. Young people and families can also get discounted tickets and travelcards.
Both accompanied and unaccompanied children under six years travel free of charge.
Children aged between 6 and under 16 who are travelling alone or with an adult pay half price or the minimum fare for their ticket.
Junior Travelcard.
If you are a parent who regularly travels with your children, we recommend you purchase the Junior Travelcard.
The Junior Travelcard enables children aged between 6 and under 16 to travel on public transport free of charge when accompanied by a parent. The accompanying parent must hold a valid ticket or travelcard.
The Day Pass Children is available for children under 16 at the price of CHF 19 in 2nd class or CHF 33 in 1st class. A child can use it to travel through Switzerland alone, together with other children or with adults for a whole day.
Children aged between 6 and under 16 can get the GA Travelcard in 1st or 2nd class at a reduced price. It is available as a GA Travelcard with annual or monthly billing.
Are you in studying or working but not always required to be on campus or at work? And do you go on trips across Switzerland from time to time? Then the Half-Fare travelcard PLUS, the prepaid travelcard with the free bonus and a money-back guarantee, is definitely the thing for you.
Young people aged between 16 and under 25 can get the GA Travelcard in 1st or 2nd class at a reduced price. It is available as a GA Travelcard with annual or monthly billing.
Have you just turned 25 and do you commute to work or your place of study or simply travel very often by public transport? Then benefit from a slightly reduced price for your GA Travelcard for one year (from your 25th birthday to the day before your 26th birthday). This GA Travelcard is also available with monthly or annual billing.
With the Tandem Day Pass for GA Travelcard Youth, those under the age of 25 can travel in tandem with friends of the same age who have a GA Travelcard for just CHF 20 per day.
Is your child attending a school outside of your town? Or maybe starting a new apprenticeship? Or going back and forth between family members? Then a Regional Travelcard is sure to be a practical solution for your child. Regional Travelcards are available for children and young people aged between 6 and under 25 who are travelling alone.
Depending on how far your destination is from your home, a Point-to-Point Travelcard, a Modular Travelcard or even a GA Travelcard may be the best solution for you. Point-to-Point Travelcards, Modular Travelcard and GA Travelcards are available for children and young people aged between 6 and under 25 who are travelling alone. And for those who are 25, there is the GA Travelcard for 25 year olds.
We would be happy to advise you at a staffed point of sale in your local area – or you can even book an appointment for a free personal consultation with SBB so that our staff can help you to discover which travelcard is right for you.
Would you like to be sure you’ll have a seat on a journey with your family? You can reserve your seat in the SBB Mobile app, on SBB.ch or at any public transport point of sale.
Whether it’s fixed prices for children travelling to Italy and France or free travel when accompanied by an adult to Germany and Austria or with Interrail – family trips by train are particularly good value.
