Aare Seeland mobil (asm) runs the regional trains that feed the wider Swiss network across the Oberaargau, Solothurn and Seeland areas. Its lines connect at Langenthal, Oensingen, Solothurn, Biel/Bienne and Ins, where you can change onto national long-distance services.
Where asm trains run
asm's rail lines include the S11 and S12, running Solothurn to Niederbipp, Langenthal and St. Urban, and the S37, running Biel/Bienne to Täuffelen and Ins. These are short regional hops rather than long journeys, so expect a network built for commuting and connecting, not for covering distance. asm also runs the vinifuni funicular between Ligerz and Prêles, plus its own bus network, including the Moonliner night services.
Tickets and fares
Which tariff applies depends on where you are travelling. Libero covers the cantons of Bern and Solothurn, while A-Welle covers the canton of Aargau and the Olten-Gösgen-Gäu region, so check which network your journey falls into before you buy. Both sell zone-based single tickets, multi-fare cards and day passes, and Swiss half-fare and GA travelcards work as usual. Buy tickets at asm travel centres in Langenthal, Niederbipp, Nidau and Täuffelen, through the Libero webshop, or at station ticket machines. The travel centres are also the place to ask if your journey crosses from one tariff network into the other, since the ticket you need can change partway through a trip.
Accessibility and practical notes
By the end of 2024, asm reported step-free access for 98.74% of its rail passengers, available at 41 of the network's 48 stops. That is a high share for a regional operator, though a handful of smaller stops are not yet barrier-free, so check the specific stop if step-free access matters for your trip. asm keeps investing in modern stations and vehicles, so accessibility at the remaining stops should keep improving.
