Thank you Anna!
Just to reconfirm again. Do I need to choose departure/arrival location for Saver Day Pass? Cos I see that option. I also realise I can right away purchase Saver Day Pass without choosing departure/arrival station.
Thank you!
Hi Janquek,
On the SBB app, you can purchase the Saver Day Pass directly from the ‘Shop and services’ tab at the bottom of the screen. On the SBB website, it would be under Top Offers. You need to select a date before purchase is possible.

Thank you Anna,
I have proceeded to purchase the tickets.
Do I have to reserve seats? And do I just hop on/off the trains? Is there possibility that the train is too full?
Thank you?
Hi again Janquek,
Seat reservations on most Swiss trains are not necessary. You need reservations only on panoramic trains. See details here: http://www.myswissalps.com/train/reservations
You can use the SBB app to check train occupancy. You can find information about the occupancy rate in 1st and 2nd class in the connection overview.
