This list of Swiss tariff networks for public transport contains those with Swiss Federal Railways' participation.{{cite web |url=https://www.sbb.ch/en/tickets-offers/travelcards/point-to-point-regional-travelcard/fare-networks.html |title=Simpler travel with the fare networks |publisher=Swiss Federal Railways |access-date=2025-01-06}} Within each tariff network, tickets and subscriptions apply to nearly all public transport, including rail, bus, some ships and some cable cars.

History

Switzerland has had a national integrated ticketing system for over a hundred years.{{cn|date=October 2011}} This, however, was limited to the regional and mainline services, as well as some tourist traffic. It was known that the not uniform pricing schedule and the participation of the individual companies could both be limited to certain parts of the entire network (single tickets, multi-journey tickets, season tickets, half-price tickets collective, etc.). In an effort to include local traffic therefore resulted in regional tariff networks, which initially covered only the subscriptions in the narrow context of larger cities. Thus, it was no longer necessary for commuters to purchase two or three passes for their commute. To provide this benefit also to other passengers, integral tariff networks emerged that cover the whole range of tickets. These grew into regional or national associations.

The first regional integrated ticketing system in Switzerland was the {{lang|de|Tarifverbund Nordwestschweiz}} (TNW). {{lit|Tariff Association of Northwestern Switzerland}}, which was introduced in 1987. The first and only{{cn|date=October 2011}} transport association is the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV, {{lit|Zurich Transport Network}}), which is in operation since 1990.{{cite web |url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/about-us/zvv-portrait.html |title=ZVV: Portrait |publisher=ZVV |accessdate=4 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830145246/http://www.zvv.ch/en/about-us/zvv-portrait.html |archivedate=30 August 2011 }} The stated aim is to establish a pan-Switzerland ticketing system.{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}}
