GA pass cheaper than forecast

Switzerland's Price Supervisor cut this year's public transport fare rise almost in half, newly released documents reveal

Stefan Meierhans forced Alliance SwissPass to drop its planned 4.39% increase to 3.6% on average, after months of negotiations the industry had kept quiet.

The GA annual pass rose by CHF 100.- instead of the CHF 200.- originally proposed — though it still crossed the symbolic CHF 4,000.- threshold for the first time.

The Price Supervisor and the industry will now recalculate the price elasticity used to justify future hikes, with results due by mid-2029.
