On until dawn
Night owls can leave their cars at home: The tariff association Tarifverbund Nordwestschweiz offers attractive connections on weekend nights (Fri./Sat. and Sat./Sun.). With trams, buses and trains, you can travel throughout the region cheaply and safely. Check your connection in the online timetable before departure. The night network can be used with a normal ticket or with the U-Abo Subscription without surcharge.
Public holiday services
The TNW Night Network also operates during Fasnacht, on Maundy Thursday, on 30th April, on the Wednesday before Ascension Day, on 31st July (Swiss National Day on the Rhine) and on New Year's Eve. Before the above-mentioned public holidays with Night Network operation, the daytime lines also run one hour longer, analogous to the weekend. The special timetables of the TNW apply. There is no night service on 24/25 and 25/26 December, even if these days fall on a weekend.

Passengers using the Night Network services can feel safe in the knowledge that the TNW ensures that all security staff are fully trained.
These specialist security teams are responsible for patrolling passenger compartments of the buses, trains and trams that criss-cross the TNW network.
As with normal daytime services, passengers will need to carry a valid TNW ticket when travelling on the TNW Night Network - no night surcharge is levied.
TNW provides a variety of Night Network travel options throughout the North-West Switzerland public transport network region. Passengers can choose between train, tram and bus services that operate through the nights of Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday.
