Bus/Tram/Cable Car/Train — The Zurich Transportation Network (ZVV) is a web of trams, buses, cable cars and trains that connect every square inch of the city and the surrounding canton. Buy your ticket from a machine and remember to validate the ticket before boarding.
ZVV ticket prices start at CHF 2.70 (CHF 2.30 reduced) and go up by number of zones traveled. The entire city of Zurich is located within Zone 10; even getting to the airport is covered in only two zones, at a cost of CHF 4.40. For a detailed map in English, visit the ZVV website:

A day pass, good for 24 hours of travel, costs CHF 5.40 (CHF 4.60 reduced) for one zone, and a six-day pass costs CHF 26.40 (CHF 23.60 reduced) for one zone. You can also purchase a multi-journey pass, good for six journeys.
For tourists, there’s the ZurichCARD, which gives visitors unlimited travel on all public transportation, plus admission to several attractions. At a starting rate of CHF 24, it may not seem like a bargain, but if you’re arriving from the airport and visiting several museums, the card easily pays for itself.
