GA Travelcard area (with German section)

Zoghumoil46

I have a GA Travelcard.
I want to go to Rhein-Center. (from Basel SBB)
I’d like to know how to buy tickets for the German section.
(Weil am Rhein)
Do I have to buy it from the Basel station ticket machine?
Should I buy it from a driver on a tram or bus?

Hello Zoghumoil46

You can also get off the tram at the last station in Switzerland, Basel, Kleinhüningeranlage and walk about 1 km to the Rhein Center. For the return, you can get on the tram at Basel, Weil am Rhein Grenze, the GA is valid from this stop.

Kind Regards

Hi Zoghumoil46

You can go to the Rhein-Center using the Tram Number 8 from Basel SBB to Weil am Rhein, Dreiländerbrücke.

This ticket is called “TNW triregio Einzelbillet” cost around CHF 3.10, you can Buy it in The SBB Mobile App or at the SBB Tickets Machines in the Basel SBB Station probably also at the TNW
Tickets Machines. Just select the “GA” Discount there, so you don’t have to Pay the Swiss Part. If you are leaving the “Rhein-Center” and walk 200m to The Boarder to the Stop “Basel, Weil am Rhein Grenze”. You don’t have to buy a Ticket because the Stop is in the GA Area, Please Note this Trick does only work at the route from Weil am Rhein to Basel! From the Stop “Weil am Rhein, Dreiländerbrücke” you have to pay, because the Stop is not in the GA Area, I guess there is also a Ticket Machine at this stop.
