Meet the Offizielles Kursbuch.
When you need an encyclopedic guide to Switzerland's
transportation services, there's no substitute for the Swiss Official Timetable--also
known as the Offizielles Kursbuch, Indicateur officiel, or Orario
ufficiale. This remarkable work consists of two volumes:
- Railroads, Cableways, Boats
- Autobuses
Together, the books are nearly 3-1/2 inches (90mm) thick,
despite being printed on thin paper. The two-volume set is published in May and
covers summer and winter schedules for a one-year period.
The accompanying photographic excerpt from the Zürich-Lucerne railroad
schedule shows what the timetable looks like.
The best bargain in Switzerland
In a nation where a cup of coffee may cost more than a
McDonald's Happy Meal back home, the two-volume Official Timetable is an amazing
bargain: only 16 Swiss francs, or just over 9 U.S. dollars or Euros. To buy your
timetable, go to the ticket counter in any Swiss railway station and ask for the
Offizielles Kursbuch, Indicateur officiel, or Orario ufficiale.
