Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV)
The Zürich Public Transport Network is a collection of over 40 different transport companies operating within the Canton of Zürich, all using one ticketing system. These operators range from local bus systems such as the Winterthur busses to the Zurich tram network, to Thurbo regional trains and even the national train carrier, SBB, which operates the Zürich S-Bahn. However, SBB Intercity trains can also be used through ZVV tickets if they start and end in the Canton.
Ticket Information
ZVV uses a zone-based proof of payment system. When you buy a ticket for some zones, you can take ANY transit mode within those zones for the duration of your ticket. The SBB app will automatically get you the right zones for your ticket.

Do not ride without a ticket. Roaming ticket inspectors give out hefty fines, and you cannot talk your way out of them.
Unwritten Rules & Etiquette
Give your seat up to the elderly, let people get off before getting on. Standard stuff.
Lost & Found
The SBB has an extremely good lost & found program, but it will cost 15 franks to recuperate your lost item.
