Hi,

I am planning to travel from Berne --> Fribourg --> Lausanne --> Geneve. I have checked the price of trains in Switzerland and they are fairly expensive. Is there any Swiss bus companies which operate and have a website that I can check fare prices?

Much thanks for any help!

I've often been tempted to take the Postbus . See if it suits your needs : http://www.postbus.ch

Being honest, if you think the trains are expensive consider a pass, or consider visiting Switzerland entirely, it's eye wateringly expensive...

aubo23 is right. There are no long distance bus services in Switzerland. The Postbus travels short distances only, mainly from towns into surrounding villages, between villages, and in the mountains.

Have you checked out any rail passes? These can help knock down the price of the tickets.

Welcome to Switzerland!
From time to time there exist super saver tickets for some train rides in houres where less people travel. But at the moment they don't have it on the Website, they will start again the 20. October:

Otherwise probably you can use the golden thumb ;-)
