Hi, 

I am travelling to Switzerland in June 2022 for about 10 days and I have purchased "swiss half fare card" valid for 1 month. How can I use this while buying tickets for intercity journeys in Switzerland. If I try buying ticket on SBB website I do not see how/where to enter this information (that I am holding swiss half fare card) so that I can get the discount. Looking forward to the members expert advise. Thank you.

Hello @PU 

Thank you for your query.

You must adjust the discount when specifying the traveling person. After that you will get the reduced price.

Hello, MOD

As the picture that you shown, you choosen "Half Fare Travelcard". But I bought a Swiss Half Fare Card which is for non-swiss resident. As I googled in SBB CFF FFS Site, Half Fare Travelcard and Swiss Half Fare Card should be different thing, the price are different. What should I do?

Hi @ming_bai 

They are two different products because they are available for different target groups (residents vs international guests), but they both give the same advantage: to travel for half of the price. You may select "half fare travelcard" by discount cards as well.

 

I wish you a nice day.
