Tram Travel

Most Basel trams run every six to eight minutes all day, and every 15 minutes in the late evening. Tickets must be bought at the automatic machines at every stop. Stops are marked with green-and-white signs; generally the trams run from 5:30 or 6 in the morning until midnight. Mehrfahrtenkarten (multijourney cards) allow you 12 trips for the price of 10 and can be purchased from the ticket office at Barfüsserplatz. Tageskarten (day cards), from the ticket machines at the tram stops, allow unlimited travel all day within the central zone for 8.50 SF.
