Travel at your ease with Swiss Travel Pass and SBB App
Switzerland Public transport!!!!
Incredibly well connected by rail, road and waterways, this country will absolutely steal your heart for its finest public transport system.
Being someone who want to travel like locals, I always prefer taking public transport instead of hiring a car(Car is an expensive affair in Switzerland).So Ditch the car! Get a travel pass and travel like locals.
