How much do SOB tickets cost?

The cheapest SOB fare we sell is €11.88 for one passenger, across 24 routes The median route runs 65 km in a straight line. Fares include taxes, supplier fees and our service fee, so the figure here is the figure at checkout.

Are SOB tickets refundable?

Where does SOB operate?

SOB is based in Switzerland and runs routes we sell in 1 country The places it calls at most often are Sankt Gallen, Luzern, Zürich (Kreis 11). Those are computed from the routes in the catalogue rather than from anything the carrier tells us about its own network.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Prices come from the supplier wherever we hold a live quote. Elsewhere we show an indicative price built from the real distance, the real operator and a fare curve over lead time, day of the week and season. Those are labelled Estimated fare and cannot be booked.
