| If your visitors want to do a lot of travelling all over the country then the Swiss Pass or Swiss FlexiPass can be good deals. However, make sure that they do the comparison to the basic one-month half-fare card. For example, the Swiss FlexiPass for 4 days costs 292 CHF, which is 193 CHF more than the basic half-fare card. So, only if they expect to travel enough to warrant the extra cost in those 4 days (at half-fare prices) should they get this pass, otherwise the half-fare card and then buying tickets as they go will be better.
As I said above, the Swiss Transfer Ticket is rarely less than buying individual tickets, and the Swiss Card rarely works out better than just the basic half-fare card. In summary, the half-fare card is often the best deal, but there are exceptions. | |

This is the post that led me (via Google) here. The arithmetic is, in retrospect, obvious, but obvious things are often clearer after someone has pointed them out
