I have just bought super saver tickets for myself and my children for a Sunday. Both my children’s tickets came up a ½ fare even though I have put in no discount cards. Is that correct?

I then wanted to buy tickets again for the same journey, but different day and it came up as full price for the children. Am I doing something wrong?

Do I need to return my tickets? How do I do this?

Thanks

Hello Hatfielda

For children between 6-16 years old, the Half-Fare travelcard rate applies even without a Half-Fare travelcard. From 16 years they pay the full adult price.

I wish you a good day.

Hello Hatfielda

In addition to @FatimaH ’s great advice, I wish to add that you can get the Junior Card or Children Co-Travel Card at CHF 30 per child, valid for one year. With it, the child (6-15.99 years of age) travels for free when accompanied by you, and you hold a valid ticket. In the contrary to citizens, for tourists, the card is issued as a paper ticket. You can get it from any SBB Travel Center at the stations.

Alternatively, there is the Children Day Pass at CHF 19, valid for the entire public transport for 1 day (restrictions on mountain railways do apply). Whenever the ticket price for a half price ticket is more than CHF 19, simply buy the Children Day Pass - it is a great bargain.

You can find a wealth of information on travelling with children in Switzerland on this website; there are all the ticket options mentioned:
