• If so, please purchase an additional reservation ticket for your bike alongside your regular ticket

• Postal buses are generally equipped for wheelchair transport. The door for wheelchair access has a corresponding symbol.
• The postal bus between Oberwald and Airolo has an integrated lift table, operated by the driver (no prior booking needed). This is indicated as HL in the Swiss Federal Railways timetable.

• Carrying small dogs up to 30 cm is free of charge if they stay in a transport container throughout the journey. This must be placed under your seat.
• Dogs without a container and all dogs over 30 cm shoulder height require a valid dog ticket: half-price of second class or minimum fare (dog day pass, dog pass). They must sit under the seat so as not to block the passage for other travellers.
