The Arcobaleno annual travelcard is the low-cost solution for adults who regularly travel more than 8 months a year on public transport and for young persons who regularly travel more than 6 months a year on public transport.
With the Arcobaleno annual travelcard you can travel conveniently and inexpensively for a whole year within the selected zones and with all modes of transport on the Arcobaleno integrated fare network. In this way, you do not have to think about tickets for every journey.
The travelcard is also personal. It can be issued for adults (from 25 years) in 1st or 2nd class, as well as for young persons (from 6 to 25 years) in 2nd class, and is valid for the selected zones. From 6 zones, you can travel throughout Ticino and in the Moesano region at a flat-rate price. With the annual travelcard, adults travel for 12 months at the price for 9 months, and young persons travel for 12 months at the price for 7 months.
Zone and time systemFurther information
You can purchase a monthly travelcard at any time (the date can be selected freely). The start of validity does not have to coincide with the first day of the month.
The monthly travelcard is personal. When purchasing, a passport photo is required, which is used for both the paper format or on the SwissPass.
