Well, life intervened in the form of a heavy cold and a sudden need for root canal treatment, so I didn't make it into Morges to get the Regional Passes. Which is lucky, because it turned out that my parents are planning to spend two weeks in Switzerland next year, one week exploring some other as yet unknown part, and the other week here indulging the grandchildren.

So instead I've given them the choice of either two monthly Half-Tax cards or one Swiss Flexi Pass, depending on how much they plan to travel about. When they find out about this on Christmas Day, they'll no doubt want to know how the Flexi Pass works... so...

Anyone had a Flexi Pass? Do you have to specify in advance when you buy it which days you're going to travel, or is it more like a card with, say, 4 blank boxes which you just get stamped at a train station one by one, as you take your days out. And what if you need to get a bus to the train station that day..?

Thanks, everyone! It's taking me a while to get this all straight in my head, but it's worth it for such a top present idea for them.
