    The SBB use to offer a Half Card for one month. I can not longer find that option on the SBB site. It now looks like you can only purchase a half card for one year. Is this a recent change or am I looking in the wrong place to purchase a one month half card?

    Hi dg234,

    The Swiss Half Fare Card is valid for one month and is geared for travellers. On the other hand, the Half Fare Travelcard is geared for local commuters/ residents.
