Hello and welcome to the SBB Community. What would you like to do?
Hello, I'm visiting Switzerland from Canada in June for 2 weeks and I'm looking at the half fare card and the swiss half fare card. What are the differences in between the two? If I get the swiss half fare card (which is cheaper) do I just use it the same way as the half fare card? I have been to Switzerland in 2018 and I have bought the half fare card back then but it is my first time seeing the swiss half fare card. Thanks
Hello @Cristina1
The Swiss Half Fare Card has always been on offer and is destined to tourists.

The Half Fare Card is for residents and people who frequently return to Switzerland; it is a subscription.

From the range of validity perspective, both offer exactly the same advantages.
Best regards,
Roland
