[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the Swiss Travel Pass and be done with it. It was so easy and convenient. Probably paid more than I had to but we also didn't have to fuss around buying tickets every time we wanted to use a bus or train or boat, for that matter.[/quote]

That doesn't cover the funiculars and cable cars though.[/quote]

Most of the passes don't. The Berner Oberland one does but it depends on your itinerary whether it's worth it or not. Swiss Travel Pass does cover a few funiculars and cable cars. It covered Rigi and Stoos when we were there last summer. If they're not covered, which is most, you usually get a 25-50% discount on them. [/quote]

The half fare pass covered all the cable cars at half price. Which is why it's called half fare. If you are planning on doing a lot of walking and only using the cable cars a few times, the half fare is the most sensible pass to get. I'm doing the pricing on a hiking trip in the BO this summer and because I intend to walk most days and so far only see maybe 5/6 cable car trips and the trains only for the day of arrival and day of departure, the half fare is better than the BOP for me. But if you want to rely on trains and cable cars every day, it's worth it getting the BOP plus the half fare to cover the travel from Zurich to the BO. The BOP kicks in at Bern and Lucerne.
