In Zurich, a standard 24-hour day pass (Tageskarte) for the local ZVV transport network (Zones 110/City) costs approximately 9.20 CHF for 2nd class in 2026. This pass is incredible value because it covers all trams, buses, suburban S-Bahn trains, and even the "river buses" (Limmat boats) within the city limits. If you are looking to travel across the entire country of Switzerland starting from Zurich, you would use an SBB Saver Day Pass, which starts as low as 29 CHF if booked far in advance but can rise to over 119 CHF if purchased last-minute on a peak travel day. For international tourists, the Zürich Card is often the better "day pass" choice; costing roughly 29 CHF for 24 hours, it includes the same unlimited transport plus free entry to most of the city's major museums and discounts at various restaurants. Prices are subject to slight seasonal adjustments, so using the SBB Mobile app or the ZVV "EasyRide" feature is the best way to ensure you are paying the correct current fare while benefiting from the city's legendary Swiss punctuality.
