More network for night owls

From 19.12.2009 night busses in the city of Zurich will start running every half hour and will serve additional areas. The lines will also be renumbered so that destinations are clearly recognizable. In Knonaueramt, the S-Bahn night train SN9 only runs to Affoltern am Albis. A new night bus is being introduced to take passengers on to Mettmenstetten and Knonau. Those travelling to Baar-Zug-Lucerne can use the new RegioExpress train from Zurich HB.

You need two tickets to use the ZVV nighttime network. 

• A ZVV ticket or pass valid for the journey from your point or departure to your destination (ZVV ticket, GA travelcard, etc.)
• A night supplement. A single supplement costs CHF 5 (at standard ZVV automatic ticket machines: *162 or at touch-screen ticket machines). Supplements can be bought as a card containing 6 supplements, available at points of sales (German) or ticket shops (German) for CHF 27. Half-Fare travelcards and other discount cards do not entitle you to a discount on the night supplement.

You can buy night supplements at the Caffè & Bar Bellevue

Until 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday night.
Buy a supplement at the bar and get straight on the bus: you can also buy a night supplement at the Caffè & Bar Bellevue in the round building at the Bellevue stop. Just pay CHF 5 and take your till receipt with you.

Care: passengers who do not have both tickets will be treated as a passenger without a valid ticket and will have to pay an extra fee.

If you have a zkbnightcard (German) you already have a free night supplement. (See nighttime network timetable for exceptions)

The Track 7 travelcard is also valid for the nighttime network, but only on S-Bahn trains. You still have to buy a ZVV night supplement.
