Ferrovie Luganesi (FLP) operates the S60 regional railway between Lugano and Ponte Tresa, on the border with Italy near Lake Lugano, in the canton of Ticino. It is a short, frequent commuter line rather than a long-distance service, and it works well as a quick hop out of central Lugano toward the lakeside towns south of the city.
Route and frequency
The S60 line runs from Lugano to Ponte Tresa, calling at Sorengo, Sorengo-Laghetto, Cappella-Agnuzzo, Bioggio Molinazzo, Bioggio, Serocca, Agno, Magliaso Paese, Magliaso and Caslano along the way, 12 stops in total. Trains run every 15 minutes on this route, which is frequent enough that there is little reason to plan around a specific departure. On Saturdays, holidays and in the evenings, the interval widens to every 30 minutes, so it is worth checking the timing for a late return.
Tickets and fares
FLP tickets fall under the Arcobaleno tariff, the integrated fare zone system for public transport in Ticino, priced in CHF. A single ticket for 1 zone costs CHF 2.60 full fare or CHF 2.00 reduced, valid for 1 hour. A day pass for 1 zone costs CHF 5.20 full fare or CHF 4.00 reduced. Weekly, monthly and annual subscriptions are also sold under the Arcobaleno system, at rates that scale with the number of zones travelled. The simplest way to buy a ticket is the FAIRTIQ app, which lets you start and stop a trip with a swipe rather than choosing a zone and ticket type in advance, useful if you are not sure how many zones your journey will cross.
Park and ride
FLP maintains more than 200 Park and Ride spaces at stations along the line, including at Magliaso and Caslano, aimed at commuters who drive in from outside Lugano and finish the trip by train. Parking is paid through the ParkingPay app, with separate daytime and nighttime rates, and Arcobaleno subscription holders can buy parking passes through the same app.
