List of Swiss tariff networks
The list of Swiss tariff networks containing in Switzerland with existing SBB participation tariff networks.
In Switzerland, for over a hundred years, a national tariff association, the so-called direct traffic. This is however limited to the regional and long-distance traffic and tourist traffic. It knows no uniform pricing scheme and the participation of each company can be limited to certain parts of the overall composite ( single tickets, multi-ride passes, season tickets, half-fare card, collective tickets, etc.). In an effort to include local traffic, therefore regional tariff networks, the detected initially only the subscriptions in the narrower context of larger cities emerged. Thus, it was unnecessary for commuters to purchase two or three subscriptions for their commute. To grant this advantage the other passengers, it emerged integral tariff networks, ie those that can detect the entire range of tickets. This grew into regional or national associations, which are superimposed on the continuing direct traffic.
The first integral regional tariff association in Switzerland was the Tarifverbund Northwestern Switzerland, which was introduced in 1987. The first and only traffic group is the operative since 1990 Zurich Transport Network. The stated goal is to establish a pan- Swiss Tarifverbund.
