A Swiss Pass pays for buses and boats as well as trains. (We took the boat
from Interlaken to Brienz and a bus to the Open Air Museum, which is well
worth visiting.) But the Swiss Pass doesn't cover the full cost of privately
owned railways such as the Jungfrau one. It does offer a discount on these
railways.

Swiss Passes are expensive, but we bought one after my husband used Excel to
compute the savings. We had to do it 3 times before we believed the result.

City buses as well? I've been looking at possibilities for my trip to
Switzerland next spring. I do like using a pass rather than continually
buying individual tickets and will always buy one as long as it's not
MORE expensive.

I stay at least 2-3 nights each place I stop, so I was thinking about a
flexi-pass such as I get when I go to Germany for between them, but I'm
not up to hiking all over Bern, for instance.

fulldays worth.

you can buy a 1/2 reduction card for the railway
CHF 150 + a photo
Its valid immediately ( temporary pass)

This gives 50% on all trains

also, there is a day card ( any train, full day ), 90 CHF per day in 1st
class (with 1/2 card)

The 1/2 card is valid one year....
