Thanks Arno for getting us this information so early.

I did know from a very brief report in the May issue of Schweizer Eisenbahn-Revue (page 202) that there was not going to be any increase in regular ticket fares. The increase in the prices of STPs is therefore slightly disappointing.

Best wishes

Roger

Hi Roger,

I agree. You’d think that all transportation fares would increase gradually, more or less by the same percentage. The Swiss Half Fare Card has been the same price for years, for example, and now there’s a big jump. I hope that maybe Swiss Travel Pass coverage will improve, but no news yet.
