Traveling within Zurich

The public transportation in Zurich is run by ZVV (Zürich Traffic Network). Ticket prices for transportation in Zürich are determined by fare zones (for further information please refer here), independent from the method of transportation. A ticket can be used for all public transportation within the specified fare zones, including trains, trams, buses, cable cars, and certain ships. You should always carry a valid ticket before boarding, otherwise you may be fined CHF 100.
The city center (incl. main station) and Oerlikon are within fare zone 110 (which counts as two zones), for traveling from/to the airport you need a 1-zone upgrade (for fare zone 121).
