    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.

    Attached actual image.

    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.

    You can find more details about how to use the STP here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/howtouse

    Regards,

    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
