N10 night busorPrivate transfer to Lucerne?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The N10 night bus reaches Zürich HB, the main station; the Private transfer to Lucerne does not. This goes to Lucerne, not Zurich: the driver takes you to any address there.

The N10 night bus is quicker: 27 min against 1 h.

N10 night bus: 01:39–03:39, Friday and Saturday nights only. Private transfer to Lucerne: hours not recorded.

Friday and Saturday nights only. On a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night this bus does not run and nothing else from the airport reaches the city between 00:42 and 05:00.

Even on the nights it runs there is nothing between the 00:42 last train and its 01:39 first departure, and nothing to the main station between 03:39 and the 05:00 first train.

The 04:09 and 04:39 go only as far as Sternen Oerlikon. From there tram 10 does not start until 05:06.

No night supplement: the same CHF 7.20 ticket as by day. Buy it in the ZVV app or at a machine before boarding, as the tariff directs.
