Yearly half fare travel card for visitors?

[Oya]

Hello! I am an expat living in Switzerland. My parents (not Swiss and not Swiss residents) visit us regularly along the year since we have a baby (about every 2 months for 2 weeks). Can they also get a yearly half fare card like us, Swiss residents? Or is the monthly half fare card only option for visitors? Thanks!

Hello @Oya

Yes your parents can buy the Swiss Halfe Fare Card for one year for CHF 185.00. The only difference is that the Half Fare Card is not automatically renewed for persons residing outside Switzerland.

Kind regards,

Great! Shall we order it online beforehand, or can they get it immediately from the counter next time they come to Basel?

Hello @ Oya

You can get it directly at the SBB counter, if you prefere.
