Self-service bicycle transport

Travelling with a bike? Simply purchase an additional ticket for your bicycle and follow these guidelines.

Bicycles can be transported on most ZVV network lines, provided they are clean and there is sufficient space in the carriage. However, the ZVV is not obligated to accommodate bicycles.

You need to buy an additional regular ZVV ticket (2nd class, discount prices) or an SBB day pass. The most cost effective way to travel locally with a bicycle is to buy a ZVV ticket. For longer distances, it's worth buying an SBB day pass.

Travelling with a bicycle

Taking bicycles on the S-Bahn: The double-deck carriages and Regio-Dosto trains of the SBB, the articulated railcars of Thurbo AG and SOB FLIRT trains have designated spaces for bicycles. Please look for the bicycle symbols on the doors.

Taking bicycles on the tram: If you get on the last carriage of a tram, there will usually be enough room for your bicycle.

Taking bicycles on the bus: The second door from the front of a bus is usually best: you will usually find enough space here you and your bicycle.

Due to limited space during peak traffic hours (6.00–8.00 and 16.00–19.00), some transport companies restrict or do not allow bicycles during these times. The following table displays where and when you may bring your bicycle onto the Zurich Transport Network.
