Tickets

Tickets for one-way journeys and return tickets are valid on the chosen route and can be purchased from ticket apps, PostBus sales outlets, at ticket machines and from PostBus drivers. The ticket for a one-way journey and the return ticket is valid for one day, irrespective of the distance.

Multiple-trip tickets are ideal if you travel frequently on the same route. With the multiple-trip ticket, a cancellation card, you can travel six times on the corresponding route. The tickets are non-personal and transferable, and several passengers can also use them together. Multiple-trip tickets are valid for one year. They are available at counters, ticket machines, from drivers and from most public transport apps.

With the 1-day travelpass, you can travel for one day in the same way as with a GA Travelcard and enjoy unlimited mobility in public transport. 

• Children up to the age of 6 travel free of charge.
• Children up to the age of 16 travel at a reduced fare with single, return and multiple-trip tickets.
• Receive discounted “Junior” route and network travelcards up to the age of 25.

The Day Pass Children is available for children under the age of 16. A child can use it to travel throughout Switzerland alone, together with other children or with adults for a whole day, in the same way as with a GA Travelcard.

The Day Pass Children costs 19 francs for 2nd class and 33 francs for a 1st class journey. It is valid for one day within the GA Travelcard area of validity.

With the 30-franc Children’s Co-Travelcard, children aged six to 15 can travel throughout Switzerland for a whole year, accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket.

The Children’s Co-Travelcard is available for all accompanying adults (grandmother and grandfather, godmother and godfather, neighbour, aunt and uncle, childminder, family friends and acquaintances, etc.) aged 16 and over.

Purchase a Children’s Co-Travelcard:

• The Children’s Co-Travelcard is available to purchase at all staffed salespoints. When purchasing the travelcard, both the accompanying adult and the travelling child must be specified. You will need a separate travelcard for each different combination of child and accompanying adult.
• To make the purchase, please bring a passport or another form of official identification for the child. The document must specify the child’s date of birth. There is no restriction on the number of Children’s Co-Travelcards that may be purchased.

Validity

The Children’s Co-Travelcard is valid wherever the Half Fare Travelcard can be used. It also enables children to travel free of charge or at reduced prices on many tram and bus routes operated by local transport companies. Find out where the Children’s Co-Travelcard is valid by visiting the Junior Travelcard and Children’s Co-TravelcardTarget not accessible webpage or any staffed salespoint. On any given journey, an accompanying adult may travel with a maximum of four children who hold valid Children’s Co-Travelcards.

If you’re a parent who travels regularly with your own children, we recommend the Junior Travelcard. With the Junior Travelcard, children between the ages of 6 and 16 can travel free of charge on public transport when accompanied by a parent. The accompanying parent must have a valid ticket.

Travelling in a group is well worth it. Groups of 10 people or more travel for 30 percent less. Detailed information can be obtained from PostBus salespoints or from PostBus drivers.

Dogs and small animals with a height at the withers of up to 30 cm may be carried free of charge in suitable travel containers such as cages or baskets. A reduced second-class fare must be purchased in all other cases.

If you have a valid GA Travelcard or ticket (with a Half Fare Travelcard or are under 16 years old), your dog with the Day Pass Dogs will enjoy free travel for a day by train, boat, Postbus and on tram and bus routes in most cities and conurbations.

The Bike Day Pass and the annual bike pass offered by Swiss transport companies are now valid on the entire PostBus network.

You can buy tickets for bikes and Bike Day Passes directly from Postbus drivers. Annual bike passes are available to purchase at PostBus salespoints in Bern, Bellinzona, Lugano, Saas-Fee and Sion as well as at other public transport salespoints or at www.sbb.chTarget not accessible. For longer journeys, we recommend purchasing a Bike Day Pass.

Special fares

• Children with a Junior Travelcard/Co-Travelcard, accompanied by their parents, can take their children’s bike, children’s trailer bike or kickboard free of charge.
• When taking their bikes, children and young people between the ages of 6 and 16 receive travel discounts for families. If you have a Junior Travelcard/Co-Travelcard or a Familia GA Plus, PostBus will transport the bikes of children and young people free of charge (but only if accompanied by their parents or a parent).
• You pay twice the transport fare for special bikes (such as tandem bicycles, recumbent bicycles or tricycles).

You can find more travel advice and information on the obligation to book at travelling with a bike.
