Day pass with half-fare

You can use the Day Pass for Halbtax holders for your trip anywhere in Switzerland. It lets you travel for one day (until 5 am the following day) on all forms of public transport, including boats, buses, PostBuses and trams. Even the world-famous panoramic trains are included! Seat reservations cost extra, though.

Mountain transport services are not included, with the exception of Rigi and Stanserhorn. Check the GA Travelcard area of validity map to see which routes you can use.

• More and more public transport is equipped with low-floor entrances for wheelchair users.
• The SBB Callcenter Handicap arranges assistance when changing trains at stations where platforms have not yet been raised and gaps have not yet been levelled. It can help you plan an accessible journey or provide assistance while you’re travelling.
• Almost all ships have wheelchair access in 2nd class, as long as you use a manual wheelchair.

• If possible, travel with a foldable pushchair. You can take it almost anywhere.

• Dogs up to 30 cm tall at the withers travel free on most public transport. They must be in a suitable basket or carrier that can be stowed under the seat as hand luggage. Once a dog is out of its carrier, it needs its own ticket.
• All other dogs generally need a ticket. A Dog Day Pass is a good option to combine with the Day Pass for Halbtax holders.

This Day Pass does not give you a discount on mountain transport services in Switzerland, apart from Stanserhorn and Rigi. So around Interlaken, it won’t save you money on the following mountain railways: Harder Kulm, Schynige Platte, Jungfraujoch, Grindelwald First and Schilthorn.

You can use the Day Pass as far as Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren and Wengen, then buy a ticket from there to the mountain summit.
