NIGHT SUPPLEMENT BY SMS

The ZVV network is very keen to reduce the queues that form at ticket machines just before the departure of night busses and night trains. To this end a scheme is being piloted until autumn 2010 that lets passengers buy ZVV night supplements via SMS.

HOW TO BUY YOUR SUPPLEMENT:

1. Send an SMS text saying "ZVVNZ" to "988".

2. You will be sent your ZVV night supplement as an SMS message.

 3. Show this ZVV night supplement SMS to the driver or ticket inspector on request.


Please note:

  • No need to register in advance.
  • The ZVV night supplement via SMS can only be purchased between midnight on Friday morning and 5 a.m. on Sunday, as well as on the nights before most bank holidays. See the Opens PDF in new windownighttime network timetable (PDF, 968KB) for details.
  • Cost: CHF 5 per SMS night supplement. The cost of the supplement is charged through your phone bill or pre-paid phone card.
  • If you cannot show your SMS night supplement (e.g. because your phone battery has run out or the SMS message with the ZVV night supplement has not yet arrived) the consequences are the same as if you do not have a supplement at all. It is vital, therefore, that you request and check the SMS night supplement before boarding the bus or train.
  • You can buy several ZVV night supplements on one mobile phone, e.g. for people travelling with you. These are only valid if you are all travelling together.
  • Night supplements cannot be forwarded or copied.
  • Night supplements cannot be reimbursed or exchanged.
