Family Card offers these perks:
- Free travel for children from the ages of 6 through 15 when accompanied by
their parents.
- Half-fare travel for accompanied children from 16 through 24 who live at
home or attend school full-time.
(Note: Without the Swiss Family Card, children from 6 through 15 pay
