Saver Day Pass

Liam7000

I’ve read multiple articles and explanations but I’m still confused, so I’m hoping someone here can clarify.

I’m looking at Saver Day Passes for the same travel date (Geneva → Zurich), and I see different prices shown for different connections on the same day. From what I understand, the Saver Day Pass is valid on any train on the selected day, not a specific departure.

So my questions are:
1. Why are there different prices shown for Saver Day Passes on the same calendar day, if they all offer the same unlimited travel?
2. If I buy the cheapest Saver Day Pass shown (even if it’s displayed next to an earlier connection), will it still be valid on any later train that day, including ones where the Saver Day Pass price is shown as higher?

I’m trying to understand whether the price difference is actually tied to the train time, or if it’s just how availability is displayed in the app/website.

Thanks in advance — appreciate any clarification from people familiar with how SBB pricing really works.

Hello Liam7000

The lowest cost is a point-to-point ssupersaver ticket for holders of the (Swiss) Half Fare Card. This ticket is only valid for the connection chosen upon purchase.

What concerns the Saver Day Pass, the lower price, starting at CHF 29, is for people having the (Swiss) Half Fare Card. People without it have to pay the full fare SDP, starting at CHF 52. It is valid for all connections. You do not even have to chose a connection if you purchase it from tab ’Shop & Services).

Just do a dummy booking to see.

Do not simply book the cheapest ticket that is tied to specific conditions. Travelling with a wrong ticket can lead to fines of at least CHF 70 upon ticket check.

Come up with a real example and travel date so we can better explain with supporting screenshots.

Kind regards,
Roland
