With the tariff change on December 12, Allianz Swisspass also offers a new subscription for public transportation: Half-Fare Plus. This offer is intended to provide an alternative between a half ticket card and a general subscription. Blick tells you what you need to know about the new subscription:

How does subscription work?

With Half Fare Plus, you pay a certain amount and also get credit that you can use towards first or second class tickets. Half Fare Plus has a total of three variants. The buyer can choose between a loan of 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 francs. The more expensive the subscription, the more bonuses.

Who is the subscription suitable for?

According to Allianz Swisspass, the subscription is suitable for passengers who usually travel with a half-fare travel card and want to use public transport as flexibly as possible. With Half Fare Plus you can pay for everything from super discounted tickets to class changes, bike and dog tickets to seat reservations.

How long does it take to use the loan?

The loan is valid for a maximum of one year. If you used your credit a year ago, you can purchase a new Half-Fare Plus card. Half Fare Plus is an open futures contract.

What happens if I don’t use the loan?

After the contract ends, the customer receives the remaining amount paid. It doesn’t matter whether you buy Half-Fare Plus again or not. Only the unused bonus amount will be forfeited. Therefore, there is no financial risk for customers.

Do I also need a half fare card for this?

If you purchase Half-Fare Plus, you do not need the Half-Fare card beforehand. However, Allianz Swisspass writes that it is beneficial to combine both offers.

Where can I buy Half Fare Plus?

You can purchase the subscription from 12 December on the SBB website or at public transport travel centres.

Why does such an offer exist?

According to the public transport alliance, which includes SBB, the public transport sector responds to changing customer needs with Half-Fare Plus. Public transport use is increasingly shifting towards irregular and more flexible use, meaning individual tickets have become more popular in recent years.
