Obstacle-free travel.
Travelers with restricted mobility
We are mindful of the problems and difficulties which confront passengers with limited mobility when travelling on public transport, and particularly on boats. We're at your service for any advice or assistance you may require, and our crew members will be happy to help you.
Travel discount
Passengers with reduced mobility and resident in Switzerland can apply for a "Disabled Passenger's ID Card". This entitles the holder to be accompanied by a travelling companion and/or guide dog free of charge. For full details, please consult the above-mentioned SBB website.
There are two ways of travelling with a "Disabled Passenger's ID Card":
- The disabled passenger possesses a "Disabled Passenger's ID Card" as well as a valid travel ticket (full-fare ticket, Swiss Travelcard (GA), or ticket with Half-Fare Travelcard). The accompanying passenger travels free of charge.
- The accompanying person possesses a valid travel ticket (full-fare ticket, Swiss Travelcard (GA), or ticket with Half-Fare Travelcard). The disabled passenger possesses a "Disabled Passenger's ID Card" and travels free of charge.
