The ticket is SBB's, not ZVV's: Zürich Flughafen to Thun, CHF 68.00 an adult, CHF 34.00 for a child of 6 to 15 or with a Half-Fare card, under-6s free. It is cheaper than the CHF 77.00 to Interlaken Ost, which the same train goes on to.

One an hour, at :46, from 06:46 to 18:46. Earlier or later, change at Bern on the same ticket.

The full fare is fixed; the "Supersaver" for one named train is cheaper, demand-priced and refused on any other train, so it is not priced here.
