    I went with the half fare card because it turned out cheaper than the Swiss Travel Pass. The app also seemed easy to use to locate and purchase tickets through the app. I’m having difficulty, however, uploading the Swiss half card card pass to the mobile app. The website calls for a 10 digit number from the card pass. The e-ticket pass sent by Swiss Travel Center has an order number but I’m not seeing a 10 digit number. 1) How do you upload? 2) If I am unable to upload, can I still purchase half fare tickets using my credit card using the app?

    Thank You,

    DL
