That is way cheaper than I would have guessed. A yearly subscription for public transport in Berlin alone costs at least twice that.

City tickets in Switzerland also are around 300-500/year. (sure our cities are nowhere near Berlin in size) the 340/m option does allow you to use nearly any transport (boats, trains, buses, some cable cars) in the whole country including price reductions (up to 50%) for most non-included transport methods (like private mountain trains or tourist hot spot cable cars).

Zurich zone 110 (city center) is 782chf/year ($816) for the non-transferable one. Bern is 790chf/year. I'm not sure where you're getting "300-500/year".

That's absolutely new to me. Last time I got a Libero it was like 380 or so for 2 zones.

Thanks for the correction
