Saver Day Pass

[DrDrew1]

Hello,

I purchased 2 tickets from Lucerne to Geneva. I clicked no discount. When I got the receipt, i saw it said: The Saver Day Pass is valid for travel on GA Travelcard area routes in the relevant class. No exchange. No refunds.

Do I need a GA travelcard? Do I just select the route I want and show up? Just want to make sure I know how it works.

Also, I have a 1 year old traveling. Does he need a ticket as well? How early should we arrive?

Thank you!

Hello @DrDrew1 

The Saver Day Pass is fine as standalone ticket and does need the GA Travel Card in addition. You can simply get on board the train, bus, etc.

In terms of validity, the Saver Day Pass does have the same area of validity as the GA Travel Card, that's why the GA is mentioned; you can find the map of validity here, in section Downloads.

Children up to 5.99 years of age do not need a ticket.

Arriving 10 minutes before departure is absolutely sufficient; trains often arrive a few minutes before departure only. You will see, taking trains in Switzerland is just as taking suburban trains in cities, it's mass transit & simple to use

Let us know should you have more questions.

Happy travels.

Best regards,
Roland

Just to confirm - you said above "does need the GA Travel Card in addition." Did you mean Does NOT?

Sorry!

I wished to say DOES NOT; my brain was faster than my fingers 🙂
