Bike

You can now travel conveniently to your destination and take your bike with you.

To take your bike with you on routes offering bike transport, a ticket must be purchased at the reduced price for the route required. If the price is higher than CHF 14, a Day Pass Bike has to be bought at the reduced price. For information on transporting bicycles, please contact the relevant transport companies.

Further information

In the official timetable, look out for the symbol shown at the side for certain lines, or in the legend for individual routes.

You must load and unload bikes yourself.
For transport on buses, the final decision on whether bicycles can be transported is at the discretion of the driver.
You will find further useful information on transporting bikes in ordinance TIA 651.17.

The list below includes the most important information from the individual transport companies that are part of the Arcobaleno integrated fare network. Please also consult the website of the transport company you wish to use.

How much do I pay for dogs and pets?

In general, the reduced price for 2nd class must be paid for dogs. Small dogs up to a withers height of 30 cm, cats and other small pets in transport boxes, baskets or other containers suitable for animals travel free of charge as hand luggage.

Bikes?

Each transport company stipulates their own rules for the carriage of bikes on public transport. Bikes may not be taken on certain routes. In some cases, they may be prohibited at certain times of day, or a reservation is required. We therefore recommend enquiring in advance as to whether it is possible to travel with a bike on the route required. You will find further information on our website under “Bikes”.

Do I have to pay for my luggage to be transported?

Hand luggage and pushchairs are transported free of charge. A wheelchair for disabled persons is transported free of charge if the person travelling requires it for the journey. For luggage, pushchairs, bikes and wheelchairs which have to be supervised by transport company staff, the provisions of the respective transport company apply.
