Hi travelers,

The public transport company ZVV (for Zurich and surroundings) celebrates its 150-year anniversary on October 22, 2022. Part of this is free travel by public transport throughout the ZVV network on this day. Details are available here: http://www.zurich.com/en/about-us/150anniversary/free-travel.

ZVV is certainly not 150 years old…so I looked at the link thinking it might be VBZ (the Zurich tramway company) that was 150, but no it is actually Zurich Insurance that is 150 years old. 🙂

Hi 1960man,

That’s correct. The free public transport offer is to commemorate 150 years of Zurich Insurance. The firm has teamed up with ZVV to mark the special milestone.

Regards,

Anna

And ZVV is not a public transportation company; it is simply managing the fare network in greater Zurich area. It either owns buses nor trams.

Thanks for those catches :-)! I actually wondered whether ZVV was that old and handled this too quickly I guess.
