NIGHTTIME NETWORK VISION
A look into the future
Since December 2002, Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) has also been active at night. Within around
four years, demand for nighttime network services had risen by more than 75%, and this demand looks
set to continue growing. For this reason there are plans to extend the service even further. The
ZVV has drawn up a nighttime network vision laying the foundation for future planning of the
service. The first elements of the vision will be implemented the next time the timetable is
changed.
The nighttime network vision lays down concrete steps for expanding the nighttime network in
future, plus a broad direction and basic principles for planning services in the medium term: new
nighttime S-Bahn routes will replace existing regional bus routes in areas with high potential, and
services will run on an hourly basis as standard.
What will not change is the fact that the nighttime network will only run at weekends, and it
will still have to cover costs. And in future passengers will still have to pay a night supplement
over and above the regular fare.
