Single ticket

The single ticket is ideal for those who only use public transport occasionally and do not require a travelcard.

Single ticket

A single ticket entitles you to travel as often as you wish within the selected zones and validity period of your ticket. The individual journeys can be interrupted and continued at any time within the validity period. 

Further information

Single tickets are available for 1st and 2nd class. The period of validity varies according to the number of zones purchased: from 8 zones, the single ticket is valid for the whole of Ticino and the Moesano region. 

For transport services where no 1st class is available, the ticket is also valid for 2nd class (without claiming a refund). To use 1st class with a 2nd class ticket, you must hold a class upgrade. Both tickets must be shown at ticket checks.
