Getting around, city by city
Practical guides to public transport in Switzerland's most-visited cities.
Zürich
Zürich has one of the densest, most punctual transit networks in the world. Trams and buses cover the city centre, S-Bahn trains reach the whole region, and boats cross the lake in summer.
Read the guide →Geneva
Geneva packs trams, trolleybuses, little yellow lake-shuttle boats and cross-border regional trains into a compact, lakeside network. Many visitors ride it all for free.
Read the guide →Lucerne
Lucerne is small enough to walk, but it's the gateway to lake steamers and the mountain railways up Pilatus and Rigi. The bus network and the boats do most of the work.
Read the guide →Bern
Bern's arcaded old town is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes, but trams and buses fan out from the main station to reach everything just beyond it.
Read the guide →Basel
Basel sits where Switzerland, France and Germany meet, and its dense tram network is the easiest way to cross a city that straddles two countries. The Rhine ferries add a charming, low-cost way to cross the river.
Read the guide →Interlaken
Interlaken sits between two lakes and is the launchpad for the whole Jungfrau region. Its two stations serve different purposes, so knowing which one you need saves real time.

Is Swiss Transport free?
Yes. Every timetable feature is free and there is no account to create. You can leave a tip inside the app if you want to support the work, but nothing is locked behind it.
Which operators does it cover?
All of them. The app reads the official Swiss open-data timetable, so national trains, regional lines, city trams, buses and lake boats all appear in the same search.
Does it show real-time delays and platforms?
Yes. Departures carry the live delay and the exact platform or track, and a connection is recalculated when a train runs late.
Can I buy tickets in the app?
No. Swiss Transport plans the journey; when you are ready to buy, it hands you to the official railway app or website, where the purchase is handled.
Does it work without a signal?
Your favourites and recent searches stay readable offline. Live times need a connection, because they are fetched the moment you ask for them.
Which languages does the app speak?
English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. It follows the language your phone is set to.
Does it work as an offline map of Switzerland?
The Explore tab carries a map of the country with 24 sights and the panoramic railway lines on it. The app draws that map itself, so it opens with no signal and no map account. Live departure times still need a connection.
Does it cover the scenic trains?
Yes. Glacier Express, Bernina Express, GoldenPass, Gotthard Panorama and the Grand Train Tour each carry their route, their season and the stations you can board at, with the timetable one tap away.
Can it tell me which travel pass to buy?
The pass advisor asks three questions about your trip and names the option that costs you least, including the answer that no pass is worth it for you.
Ride Switzerland with confidence.
