The Arcobaleno monthly travelcard is the low-cost solution for adults who regularly travel less than 9 months a year and for young persons who regularly travel less than 7 months a year on public transport.
With the monthly travelcard from Arcobaleno you can use public transport within the selected zones for a whole month without any travel and time restrictions.
The monthly travelcard is 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.
To make it easier to use public transport, the Arcobaleno integrated fare network utilises a zone and time system. This means that all modes of transport such as buses, trains, boats and funiculars can be used within the selected zones and validity period of the ticket. There are no time restrictions for weekly, monthly and annual travelcards.
Further 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.
