Dear Sir/Madam,
Mother travelling with 16 yo daughter to Switzerland for language course mid year. My question is in relation
daughter's transport only. Daughter is travelling from Geneva airport to Neuchatel for three weeks and then onto
Basel to be reunited with family again. During the three weeks she is in her language course it will be unlikely that she will require a transport card. What would you recommend is the best swiss pass for her?

Hello visser! If the trips Geneva Airport-Neuchatel and Neuchatel-Basel are the only trips your daughter plans to make by public transport, she can best buy regular train tickets instead of a Swiss rail pass. If she does intend to travel a bit more, the Swiss Half Fare Card may be worth considering. Here's how to calculate which solution is cheapest.
