 EuroAirport by csordila
Bus 50 runs between the airport and Basel's main station - Bahnhof SBB - every eight minutes during the day, less frequently in the evening, for a fare of Sfr 3.80; this also covers connecting bus or tram services elsewhere in the city for two hours after you buy the ticket. Duration of ride 20 minutes.
In the city, the flat fare is Sfr3, but many visitors do not need to pay; most journeys (including the one back to the airport) is covered by the Mobility Card, a free public transport pass given to guests in every hotel for the duration of their stay.

 Bahnhof SBB by german_eagle
The city has 3 railway stations. The Central (and most important) railway station is operated by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), located south of the old town. Right next to this so called Bahnhof SBB you find the French railway station (Bahnhof SNCF), from where the trains to France (Mulhouse) leave. The German Railways (DB) operate the so called Badischer Bahnhof on the right bank (Kleinbasel).
Regional trains go from Basel to the surrounding German and French as well as of course Swiss areas. International trains connect Basel with big cities in Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Milan etc.). They all go through the central railway station SBB. Leave a Comment Theme: TrainWebsite: www.sbb.ch Other Contact: www.rail.ch

 Trams in front of Bahnhof
Basel SBB by german_eagle
A short trip ticket (max. four stops) is 1.80 SFr. and a one-hour ticket is 2.80 SFr. Holders of Swiss Half Fare Cards (like me) get a reduction: 1.20 / 1.80 SFr. How nice :-)
A day ticket for the city is 8 SFr.
At each stop you find ticket machines where you can buy the tickets. Some of them, e.g. at the railway stations, also accept Euro coins. If you are going on a tram/bus without a valid ticket you will be fined 80 SFr. (if caught). Leave a Comment

 Ferry at Basel by Myndo
They don't have a motor, but the river itself drives them.
It is not only a touristic attraction, but a very comfortable and nice way to cross the Rhine and see something of the city-skyline.
The Ferries exist since the 19th century and are called after local folklore: Wild Maa (at St.Alban), Leu (at the Munster), Vogel Gryff (Klingental) and the Uelis (St. Johann).
The money they earn with the Ferries goes into the Kunsthalle (Hall of Art).
The picture shows the Munster-Ferry. In the background is the Messe-Tower, quite new, too.
For insiders:
Be there on Christmas and some Ferry Man have decorated their Ferries - you wouldn't believe it!
Also you can actually rent a Ferry and have dinner (Fondue) on the evening in the ferry on the Rhine. That is an experiment not many people can make., though. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 old BVB sign by Myndo
With Tram (the green trains) and bus you can go everywhere and they drive regularly and quite often: if you miss one, the next one will come in 6 to 8 minutes, normally
Just go and buy a day-card at one of the green billet-machines (8 swiss francs) and you can drive back and forth the whole day.
You find plans on every station and on the Internet. Or ask the people. The Basler knows his Tram lines.
The picture shows two Basilisks (sort of Dragons) holding the sign of Basel, a Bishop-pole. This is the old sign of the BVB - the Basel Verkehrs Betriebe (Basels Traffic)
Unfortunately (I think) they did change that sign on the trams to a newer one, sort of a modern version of the Bishop-pole only - and I think it looks like a snail.
Therefore I put the old one here.
Oh, BTW. The green of the trams must be Basels most precious paint. You better not try to scratch it - this is very expensive.
Next to the green trams there are yellow ones as well, they belong to the BLT and drive out of the town into Baselland.
(If you want to see how often these trams come by, here is a website with a cam on the Claraplatz: http://www.innobit.ch/index.php?fileidentifier=ct_webcam.php ) Leave a Comment
