Enjoy your travels - to wherever they might be in whichever mode of transportation. Try the CGN cruise from Ouchy - the Tageskarte is valid to the French side and back.
The synoptic map may be updated every once in a while - so check it often to see the changes ie new exit points up to where the Tageskarte may be valid as free or with reduced fare ( I just realised it is now valid up to Livinio )
Just a little note when booking European journeys via the SBB website.
Yesterday, I went to book a return trip in May from Zurich to Paris using the lowest fares for direct connections option, I selected the journey & price that I wanted & then it all got stuck in the seating reservations section, saying that any combanation that I wanted was unavailable - after going back & forth a few times, I decided to quit & start again.
The exact same journey had now jumped in price by nearly 70 chf in that time!! - so I left it as I was passing ZHB later. I asked at the reiseburo what the deal was & they said that this often happens & nothing that they can do about it.
This morning I tried again online & to my suprise the same journey was now 100 chf cheaper than the last one I got yesterday & seating res request no problem & I booked it all fine.
Which leads me to speculate that mucking around back and forth with the seating reservation section somehow triggers the system to think that demand has suddenly gone up & it up's the prices as a result.
please any one can help me out i willl be studying in lugano and living in zurich please what kind of travel pass will i have to buy and how much will it cost me if it has to do with monthly payment
The journy from Zurich HB to Lugano Railwaystation will take at least 2 hours and 37 minutes and there is no way you will make it to Lugano before 8:46 am. Your commute seems to be a little bit unrealistic to me.
Conserning the travel pass: A GA will be the cheapest solution. For a student (under 30) it costs CHF 2400 annually or CHF 225 in monthly rates (4 month minimum). http://www.sbb.ch/en/travelcards-and...dividuals.html

For parents: In addition to buying the half-fare card ("demi-tarif") for yourself, make sure to buy a "carte junior" for your children, age 6-15. For a modest fee (I think it was CHF 40) your children can travel for free with a parent for the whole year. This covers travel on buses, trains, boats, cablecars, etc. Of course, if your children are not with you, they have to pay regular fare.
If two parents each have the demi-tarif and your kids have the carte junior, your whole family can travel for the price of a single adult.
GA Owners - deposit your GA if not needing it for 7 consecutive days or more, and obtain an SBB Bon ( which can be used for most SBB products and service, including for renewal of the GA ).
Max deposit term is 30 days, with a fee of CHF10 per instance.
Once you have deposited it in any ( or to the closest ) SBB office, you get a temporary ticket ( Hinterlegungskarte ) valid in the interim, to the airport and back for example.
The Public Transport Union (UTP) decided on Thursday 02.12.2012, the cost of rail transport to go up by an average of 5.6% from 9th December 2012 when the winter timetable changeover takes effect. Some examples are:
GA 1st Class up by CHF450 to CHF5800
GA 2nd Class up by CHF210 to CHF3650 - reason given that the GA is not profitable
Individual tickets for 2nd Class - up by 4%
Halbtax 1 year up by CHF10 to CHF175 ( +6.1% )
Halbtax 3 year up by CHF60 to CHF460 ( +15% )
3 year validity Multipack Tageskarten up by CHF90 to CHF490 ( +22.5% )
9 Uhr pass up by CHF3 2nd class to CHF61, or 1st Class by CHF8 to CHF104

To enrich the offer there are also several tourist attractions, all included in the price of this advantageous card! At last a modern and easy solution, allowing you to travel comfortably by bus, train, railway, funicular, cable car or boat and giving you the possibility to explore the beauty of the area
The price of the tourist card is unbeatable: CHF 87. - for 3 days - "Half-price" subscribersonly pay CHF 77.- For young people aged between 6 and 16 years the price is CHF 47. –
The cards, which are reusable for environmental reasons, can be purchased at the counters of the transport companies, the FFS, as well as travel agencies, affiliated hotels and local tourist offices, from Easter 2012.
