Hi,

I will be travel to Switzerland on Jun.

I listed my question below and hope can get your answer.

1.Swiss half fare card is CHF 185 is valid for one month? when we travel we need to purchase the ticket via SBB app? what will be the selection of the ticket that we are going to select?

Day Pass for the half fare travelcard CHF75 is it valid for one day? when we travel then we still need to purchase the ticket?

3. For the train from Zurich to Paris, will we have any discount by using the Swiss half fare card?

4. I will be in switzerland for 5 days and mainly travel by train and bus. Is it worth it to buy Swiss Half fare card or Swiss travel pass?

Thanks
