Dear colleagues,

The EPICS meeting schedule is quite complete now. Please have a look at

http://indico.psi.ch/event/EPICS and tell me if you have reason to

change the time slot of your presentation.

Arrival:

Trains go from Airports Zürich and Basel to Brugg regularly. To find

your best connection have a look at http://www.sbb.ch/en.

Train fares are 19.40 CHF from Basel to Brugg via Olten and 18.60 CHF

from Zürich to Brugg (both 2nd class).

From Brugg railway station, buses to PSI and Böttstein leave regularly

at minutes 05 and 35. (Remember, this is Switzerland: The buses will

leave on time!). In the morning, additional direct busses to PSI leave

at 04 and 34. Travel time is 14 minutes for the regular bus and 11

minutes for the direct bus.

The buses to PSI leave from the front most bus bay in front of the

railway station (north exit to Brugg).

You can get but tickets from the bus driver or in the train station. The

latter is recommended for six-way-tickets (“Mehrfahrtenkarte”) which

cost 20 CHF. The single fare is 4 CHF.

As this is the second-most international bus route in Switzerland, bus

drivers and ticket vendors normally understand at least a bit of English.

If you plan to travel a lot in Switzerland, a travel pass may be useful:
