	#1 and #2 Simple, either a 2nd class ticket (half fare if you have a half fare card or GA), for the distance you transport the bike OR a SBB Bicycle Day pass which is CHF 13 half fare or CHF 20 normal price. A - At counter, ticket machine, online, mobile app (at least the day pass should be possible with the app). B - See above. You have to decide which option is cheaper in a particular situation. C - That is not a question, so this is not an answer. D - Just try it and see whats happening if you buy two tickets on your name for the same distance. If all fails see A. https://www.sbb.ch/en/abos-billette/...obillette.html https://www.zvv.ch/zvv/en/travelcard...transport.html and also rules regarding rush hour https://www.zvv.ch/zvv/en/travelcard...-bicycles.html

Thank you this is very helpful information.

Few additional questions.

1)
I read this on one of the sites - what does it mean, how far is short? I guess my question is - at what point do I need to transfer from a 2nd-same-destination ticket, to a full day bike ticket? Or - is it just based on "best price"

2)
Is it required I use a Bike car on the train?
I was on a train at one time where there was NO bike car, doe that mean I'm not allowed to bring my bike on that train?
