List Of Swiss Tariff Networks

It was known that the not uniform pricing schedule and the participation of the individual companies could both be limited to certain parts of the entire network (single tickets, multi-journey tickets, season tickets, half-price tickets collective, etc.). In an effort to include local traffic therefore resulted in regional Transit district, tariff networks, which initially covered only the subscriptions in the narrow context of larger cities. ...

Public pressure led to the fusion of the two lines into the ''Solothurn-Zollikofen-Bahn (SZB)'' in 1922. The town of Worb ha ...
