So glad I purchased this card, it saved me so much money. I loved having the freedom to buy tickets as and when I needed them and still getting a big discount on all of them. I used the card for scenic trains and mountain rides too, which was awesome because those can get pretty expensive.

This half-fare card worked very well for me. With this card, you get 50% off any tickets you purchase for trains, buses, or boats in Switzerland. I also used it on scenic trains Bernina and Glacier Express. At the end of my trip, I could see a huge savings because of this card.
