According to a study, public transport ticket prices for adults in Switzerland are around the European average. Swiss senior citizens and business travelers, on the other hand, tend to pay more.

For the study, the Infras research office compared prices in seven European countries on behalf of the public transport information service (Litra). According to the study, public transport prices for daily journeys within a city for adults in Switzerland were in the lower middle range last year. Senior citizens, on the other hand, paid the second highest prices.

Swiss adults had to spend the second most for weekly journeys within a metropolitan area. Compared to other countries, senior citizens traveled the most expensively in these zones.

Daily trips between cities in Switzerland were about as expensive for adults as the average of the seven countries. Business travelers, on the other hand, paid the most in Switzerland.
