Regional rail passes

Most regional passes give free travel for a certain number of days within a certain period and the other days are half-fare, they also give special prices on some cable cars. Usually free travel covers a certain region of the country while the half-fare travel covers a slightly larger area. Many regional passes are available at a reduced rate if you hold one of the national passes. So if you're here on an extended stay using the national and regional passes in combination and be useful to control your costs.

There are other regional passes available which I can currently researching and will add them here when I find out more.
