Let's Get Started!
Riding the Bus is Sooo EasyIt was my first time to ride the bus alone without my wife. My wife knows more about the buses here than I do. On my way to a friendly tennis match, I decided to ride the bus, take some photos and create a post about how to ride a bus. I think, most expatriates or employees on on-shore missions don't have cars yet on the first 2 days of their assignment. 2 to 3 days after, they've rented car. A month after, they've bought a car. So this is for the 2 days. Within this period, the expat and his family should know how to take the bus from their hotel to anywhere. In Switzerland, riding the bus is easy. More so comfortable than what we've tried before. Below are my tips...
Know
how to pay for your bus ride. Inside every bus is a payment machine with a monitor with options to choose. On the bottom right corner of the monitor are flags that stand for languages. First, pick the British Flag to change the monitor's language to English. Second, choose the Zone on which you will get-off. The Zones are shown on the bus route guide located below the monitor. Third, choose how many persons you are paying for. There is also an option for a half-fair for kids and demi-tarrif card holders. Lastly, insert the coins corresponding to the exact fare and click the button that starts processing your ticket. Your ticket drops out from a small provision at the bottom part of the machine. This is very important. Though the payment system is somewhat an honesty based system, one must still be very honest. Pay your bus ride. There are bus enforcers who check tickets randomly.
