Difference between point to point ticket and day saver pass

[Cristina1]

Hello, Can you please tell me what's the difference between point to point ticket and day saver pass? It seems like there is no difference as they are both valid for the chosen date but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks

Hello @Cristina1 

A point to point ticket is valid on any train on a predefined date from 00:00 until 05:00 AM the next day for a single journey (1 ride) from A to B, e.g. Zürich - Geneva. With it you can take multiple stops along the journey, e.g. in Bern, but you aren't allowed to back-track or to ride the journey multiple times.

Does your point-to-point ticket indicate zone numbers (e.g. 110, 121), this means it is a point-to-point ticket of the local fare network (e.g. ZVV). It allows you unlimited travel within the indicated zones for as long as the ticket is timely valid (see validity start/end date/time).

The Saver Day Pass allows unlimited travel on any train on a predefined day from 00:00 until the next day at 05:00 AM. You can find more information on the advantages of the Saver Day Pass here:

For the point to point ticket is necessary reserved a seat?

Hello @Julio99 

Regular trains do not require a seat reservation, a ticket is sufficient.

For certain panoramic trains (PE) a seat reservation is required. So it is for the Eurocity to Italy.
