of the passes also cover the cost of travelling by certain buses, ferries or cable cars. Difference from season ticket A rail pass is different from a season ticket: the former is generally marketed to tourists while the latter is usually marketed to commuters. The terms of use and purchase are set accordingly. Very often, rail passes cannot be used by the local citizens and might not even be available for purchase within their area of use. Another difference is the term of the pass: while it is difficult to find rail pass valid for more than three months, it is common to find season ticket valid for a whole year. Designed for commuting, some season tickets are valid for only one route, while a rail pass is usually valid for an entire area.
