Offizielles Kursbuch / Indicateur officiel / Orario ufficiale Volume 2 - Buses.

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.
