Validity of Swiss Travel Pass – expire time?
A traveler began their 15-day Swiss Travel Pass on July 2 and is unsure when it expires, asking if it's 5 AM on July 17 or July 18. They are trying to figure out the end date for using their pass effectively.
The Swiss Travel Pass is valid until 5 AM on July 17, meaning the last effective travel day is July 16. You should consider that while it appears to be 15 days, the pass is only usable until the end of operations on July 16, which might limit your options early on.

My 15 Days STP started 2 July 22 and i am trying to understand if expiry time is 17 July 22 , 5 AM Or 18 July 22, 5 AM?
STP pdf doesn’t mention 18 july anywhere.

If the STP start date was 2 July then the pass will run out at 05.00 the day after the end date, so that will mean at 05.00 on 17 July. However in practice that means the end of services on the 16 July would be the last sensible time that the pass can be used.
Hi SwissNoob,
That’s right. As mentioned by 1960man, your Swiss Travel Pass is valid until 5am on 17 July 2022.

Thanks for revert. But 15 days pass doesnt add up is it is starting from 2nd July 22 and ends on 16 July. As pass holder, i am not getting 15 days, but it is just 14 days.
If you had one full day of use of the Swiss Travel Pass, starting on the morning of the 2nd of July and running through the end of of the travel day on the 16th, that is 15 days of travel. As 1960man said, although the pass would be valid until 5 a.m. on the morning of the 17th, there would not be many modes of transportation in operation early in the morning, prior to that time.
A STP valid 2 July to 16 July is indeed 15 days, as follows:
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16
