According to the media statement of Comunità tariffale Arcobaleno, rising wages due to inflation also made the price increase inevitable. In addition, the prices of the Ticino tariff network are below the Swiss average.

This requires an adjustment, as Martino Colombo, director of the Ticino Department of Spatial Development and Mobility, told Ticino newspaper “Corriere del Ticino” and confirmed this to the Keystone-SDA news agency. The legislator provides that a journey by public transport in different parts of Switzerland has a comparable price.

Additionally, the federal government is demanding better cost coverage, as outlined in the Arcobaleno statement. Today, only about a third of the costs will be borne by users. In addition, a reduction in allowances is planned by the federal government in regional transport.

Specifically, with the tariff change in December, ticket prices will increase by about eight to nine percent, and annual subscriptions will be nine to ten percent more expensive. Weekly and monthly subscriptions are only three percent more expensive.

The 1-zone ticket is an exception. This remains unchanged at the discounted price of 2 francs (Half Charge travel card) and remains the cheapest “entry-level price” for public transport in Switzerland, as the media release concludes.
