You will find available return tickets (standard price, one way or round trip), Multiple journey tickets (for six individual trips on a pre-determined itinerary) and the City-Ticket (including a one-day transportation pass from the city of departure or arrival).
If you’re travelling on SBB’s Interregio train, you’ll find yourself in Economy Class. Here, you’ll enjoy onboard amenities such as power sockets and luggage storage.
You can take as much luggage as you want on SBB trains, provided that it fits in the luggage racks provided.

There is pushchair storage available on SBB trains, as well as baby-changing facilities.
You can usually take your bicycle on SBB services, provided you're able to load and unload the bike yourself. You'll need to buy a ticket for your bike at a ticket office, ticket machine or online.

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book.

Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare.
