Information

Due to a technical upgrade on our website, there are currently some technical issues. It is possible that there may be an unintended logout during the sales process or incorrect links leading to the private customer page. The sale of tickets and subscriptions is not affected by this. You will notice a logout when the factory icon in the top right corner is no longer displayed. To continue the sales process, click on “Login” in the top right corner to log in again. If you end up on the private customer page, we recommend accessing the page “business.sbb.ch” in your current browser to return to the business customer area.

Save time and use your travel time productively.

You can decide for yourself whether you want to work or relax during your journey – on public transport you have time for both.

Unlike other modes of transport such as driving or flying, travelling by public transport means you have almost all the travel time available as productive time. Let the transport companies drive you and use your travel time to do whatever you need to do.

Here are some example of using travel time productively on national and international connections:
