Switzerland: new rail pilot for eco transport pass

Swiss federal railway company SBB will pilot the ‘Green Class SBB E-Bike’ pass, a new eco transport pass that includes the use of an electric bike for a year. The ‘Green Class SBB E-Bike’ annual pass combines an AG/GA rail pass with use of a Stromer electric bike, plus a dedicated spot to store it in the bicycle parking station of choice and six day passes enabling the passenger to take the bike on a train. It also includes a year’s membership of car-share scheme Mobility.
The scheme will open initially to just 300 people. Applicants are invited to apply by 30 June and their pass will begin in September. The year-long pilot will be monitored by federal technology institute ETH Zurich, which will track participants’ use of the various transport methods by way of an app. The results will give SBB a better idea of clients’ needs and expectations in terms of door-to-door mobility.
