Self-service bicycle transport
Travelling on two wheels? All you need is an additional ticket for your bike.
You need to purchase 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.
Bicycle transport
Please load and unload your bicycle yourself. Due to limited space please note that some companies do not carry bicycles or only do so outside of peak times (6-8am and 4-7pm). For more information, please click here.
