Hi all

I'm trying to find out if I can get a one day travel card for my visiting parents. So far, everything I've read on the SBB site says that day tickets are only for people who hold a half-tax card (which I do, but obviously they don't).

Here's the web page; it's really confusing:

http://mct.sbb.ch/mct/en/reisemarkt/...ageskarten.htm

At the top, it says: "To be able to benefit from a 1-day travelpass, you need to be in possession of a Half-Fare travelcard." But then further down the page, it says: "Since 1-day travelpasses and class upgrades for a day are not personal, they make excellent gifts. "

So can I buy them, showing my half-price card if requested, but then just give them to my parents? I wouldn't be travelling with them.

Has anyone done anything like this?

Thanks for any advice.

PS: I'm talking standard full-price day tickets from the station, not the ones the commune does.
