Want to take your bike on the post bus? Please note the following rules:

• Check the online timetable or app to see if an R with bike symbol is shown
• If so, please buy a reservation ticket for your bike alongside your regular ticket

• Post buses are generally equipped for wheelchair transport. The door for wheelchair access is marked with the relevant symbol.
• The Postbus between Andermatt and Airolo has a built-in lift that is operated by the driver (no advance booking needed). This is indicated as HL in the Swiss Federal Railway timetable.

• Small dogs up to 30 cm are free to take along if they stay in a transport container throughout the journey. This container must be stowed under your seat.
