Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Migros, one of Switzerland’s two main supermarket chains, has come up with a surprising deal for its customers which is bound to make noise, not for the first time. Starting 30 December it is offering two one-day train passes for the price of one, CHF54 for two people to go anywhere on the  public transport system covered by half-price CFF rail company cards, for a day.

There are three catches. One is that at least one of the two people must have a half-price CFF card. The tickets will be on sale until 26 January, but the number of them is limited. And during the week trips can begin only at 09:00, but the card is valid for the rest of the day, as long as transport is available.

The day passes may be used until 31 March.

Migros has caused a furor in the past with other special offers. In June 2007 it gave away Rolling Stones tickets in a lottery that provoked a black market online, but that even earlier forced the lottery authorities to take a close look at the legality of the deal.
