Your BonusPass will be issued no earlier than 30 days and no later than 10 days before its first day of validity. Orders placed at short notice are processed subject to availability. To ensure your BonusPass is activated in good time, please order at least 10 days in advance. 

It is the responsibility of the employee/passenger to ensure that they have a valid BonusPass prior to departure. If you start your journey without a valid ticket, you will be registered as a “passenger without a valid ticket”. No fees arising from this will be refunded retrospectively.

No. BonusPasses cannot be issued retrospectively. This means any additional tickets purchased will not be reimbursed. If the order is received at short notice, the BonusPass will be issued from the date on which it was processed at the service centre.

Your staff number will be listed on the company invoice. 

The BonusPass is issued on the SwissPass. If you already have a SwissPass card, the travelcard will be referenced on it. If you do not yet have a SwissPass card, you will receive it by post five to ten days after receiving the invoice.

The BonusPass / BonusPass Flex is always valid in all ZVV zones or the selected Z-Pass network. 

The validity of the travelcard is not printed on the SwissPass card. 

However, any ticket machine can read the QR code on the card for this information. The validity of all travelcards will be shown on the display. 

The validity is also shown in your SwissPass account at swisspass.chLink opens in new window..

The days can be activated either in your SwissPass account or in the ZVV App. Log in with your SwissPass login and activate the BonusPass Flex for the relevant day under ‘Travelcards’. There is an overview of activated days in the same section. Future travel days can be planned in advance.

An activated travel day can be deactivated until midnight on the day before you travel. The status then changes to ‘Valid’ and it cannot be deactivated.

An activated day entitles the holder to travel on all ZVV public transport and/or the respective Z-Pass corridor from 12 midnight to 5am on the following day.

The route from your place of residence to your place of work is decisive for the calculating the price. You will only be charged for the zones you use to commute to work. The nearest stops are determined on the basis of the addresses given in the order. Applicable here are the fastest and most frequent connections according to the currently valid connection lists of the ZVV or the Z-Pass partnership. It is not possible to specify additional desired zones when ordering the BonusPass. Important: Zones 110 and 120 are always counted twice.

No. With the BonusPass, you cannot specify a personal preference for the number of zones. The place of residence and place of work are the deciding factors.

Up to one day before your 25th birthday. The Junior price is only available for 2nd class. If you would like a BonusPass for 1st class, you pay the adult fare.

SBB will send the invoice by e-mail to the e-mail address specified in your SwissPass account.

No. A payment agreement is not possible for the BonusPass.

After transfer to the employer, no further BonusPass invoice reminders will be sent to you. This means that the credit balance from the late payment will be reimbursed to you. Please enter your IBAN number in your SwissPass account for any reimbursements.
