Re: Travel Passes for Visitors

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..?

I hope that they find this very useful. I haven't used a flexi pass but have considered them in the past. Looking at the booking details, there is no requirement to specify the days for it to be used, only the start date. I guess that it is stamped as you suggest.

In case you were not aware, the flexi pass also allows entry into a wide range of museums etc., discounts on most mountain railways/cable cars and free travel in most urban areas. The museum pass is only valid on the days that the rail pass is used so, presumably, the same will apply for the urban transport.

The synoptic map on the link page above shows the routes that this is valid for. A printed version of this is sent out with the passes.

At present, they are also giving out a 20% discount voucher towards a meal on the train.
