The ticket is SBB's, not ZVV's: Zürich Flughafen to Baden, CHF 18.40 an adult, CHF 9.20 for a child of 6 to 15 or with a Half-Fare card, under-6s free. It is cheaper than the CHF 41.00 to Basel, which the same IR36 goes on to.

One an hour, at :56, from 05:56 to 20:56. After that take any train to Zürich HB and change; the ticket is valid all day on any train along the route.

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.
