Short summary – read this first

A traveler named Rubmat is looking for information about the Schnupper Halbtax, a trial half-fare voucher that can usually be downloaded for free. They are unsure where to find the current version, as past ones have been available through newspapers or online and are seeking advice from the community.

Key takeaways:
  • Check local newspapers for the Schnupper Halbtax vouchers, as they are often distributed through media partners.
  • If you're unable to find the voucher online, try asking locals or friends about where they found theirs.
  • Remember that the Schnupper Halbtax is typically only valid for residents and cross-border workers.

    Hi Rubmat,

    I haven’t seen any of these coupons yet, but I made a quick search and I believe they can be found in newspapers and not online.

    Dear Ildiko

    I know that usually they are found in newspaper, but the newspaper itself should always also be found online. I know people are taking it also from newspapers online.

    Thanks anyway

    Hi Rubmat,

    The SBB Schnupper Halbtax gutschein (trial Half-Fare voucher) is usually offered in partnership with the media or event organisers. It is only valid for residents and cross border workers. I think there is a current promotion here: http://www.biketowork.ch/en/shop-details/sbb_halbtax

    Hope that helps!

    Regards,

    Anna

    Hi Rubmat,

    Sorry, I have no information about current Schnupper Hlabtax promotion that is valid immediately. Perhaps it’s best to ask your friend which print media or newspaper that is the running the promotion.

    Regards,

    Anna

    Dear Hayliebarnes

    I am very glad to know that you got knowledge from this treat.

    Maybe you will be successful by finding the coupon that is valid already now, it could always be found online, usually in a magazine (i am not good in searching online).

    All the best
