The Transreno Day Pass is the key to unlocking the convenience of public transportation in the Chur Rhine Valley, Switzerland. Granting unlimited travel within a designated zone for an entire day, you will have the ability to explore the region at your own pace without having to worry about purchasing individual tickets for each journey.
One of the major advantages of utilizing the Transreno Day Pass system is that, with one pass, you can hop on and off trains and buses throughout your ticket’s validity period, thereby eliminating the hassle of purchasing tickets for each trip. This means your travel will prove to be much more cost-effective, especially when you have planned multiple journeys across diverse zones. In addition to that, you will have the flexibility to explore different towns and villages within the chosen zone(s) based on the type of public transport that you feel is worthwhile.
With that being said, purchasing a TransReno Day Pass is as simple as buying any other travel fare, and if you are looking to get your hands on one, then our thorough guide should help you get the most out of your hard-earned money.
What Are The Types Of Tickets And Respective Cost
The TransReno Day Pass, or Day Ticket, replaces the previous return ticket and is therefore ideal for outward and return journeys. Customers will have the option to combine the choice of means of transport to suit their needs in the best possible manner and therefore make journeys as they like in designated zones on the respective calendar day and until 5 AM the following day. Additionally, when you are traveling to Chur, the entire zone 150 (Chur urban area) is included automatically.
The day pass tickets start at 6.00 CHF (Swiss Franc) for 2nd class and 10.40 CHF for 1st class, both for single zones, and go up to 24.00 CHF and 40.00 CHF, respectively (for all zones). On the other hand, children aged between 6 and 16 can obtain discounts, which is why the tickets for them start at 4.40 CHF for 2nd class and 7.60 CHF for 1st class, which goes up to 12.00 CHF and 20.40 CHF, respectively.
