What is the senior age for SBB?

Women aged 64 years and over and men aged 65 years and over can purchase the reduced price GA Travelcard for Seniors. Public transport prices will be adjusted as of 10 December 2023.



For the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), the official senior age is 64 for women and 65 for men, aligning with the national retirement age in Switzerland. Once passengers reach this milestone, they are eligible for the "Senior Half Fare Travelcard," which offers a significant discount on the standard annual Half Fare price. Additionally, senior travelers can benefit from reduced rates on "Day Passes" and certain international routes. It is important to note that you must provide a valid official ID (such as a passport) to verify your age when purchasing these discounted tickets. As of 2026, SBB continues to simplify digital access for seniors, allowing these age-verified discounts to be linked directly to the SwissPass card or the SBB Mobile app for seamless travel across the extensive Swiss rail and bus network.
