Hello, I’m visiting Switzerland from Canada in June for 2 weeks and I’m looking at the half fare card and the swiss half fare card. What are the differences in between the two? If I get the swiss half fare card (which is cheaper) do I just use it the same way as the half fare card? I have been to Switzerland in 2018 and I have bought the half fare card back then but it is my first time seeing the swiss half fare card. Thanks

Hello Cristina1

The Swiss Half Fare Card has always been on offer and is destined to tourists.

The Half Fare Card is for residents and people who frequently return to Switzerland; it is a subscription.

From the range of validity perspective, both offer exactly the same advantages.

Best regards,
Roland
