We bought the Swiss half fare card and it saved us so much! We got half off of all trains, buses, trams, and ferries! We used them a lot!

I bought a Swiss Half Fare Card from Headout. I made the right decision to buy this card as I could save a lot of money for transportation fare. I recommended you to buy this card if you plan to visit Switzerland. Even if you visit Switzerland for 4-5 days, it is worth buying as you need to take different types of transportation to get to your destinations.Nalini

We were in Switzerland for only 9 days but the half fare card saved us some dollars as we visited 3 cities via train and made bookings for sightseeing. It was very much worth it.
