Jona railway station

Jona railway station is a railway station in Switzerland, situated next to the village of Jona (canton of St. Gallen). It is one of four active railway stations in the municipality of Rapperswil-Jona (the other three being Rapperswil, Kempraten and Blumenau). The station is located on the Wallisellen to Uster and Rapperswil railway line, within both fare zone 180 of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) [1] and fare zone 996 of the Ostwind Fare Network. [4]

Contents

Jona railway station and adjacent bus station were remodelled between 2013 and 2015. In 2021, it was awarded the Swiss mobility price (FLUX). [5] [6]

Service

Train

The station is only called at by S-Bahn-style services of the Zurich S-Bahn network. Lines S5 and S15 provide half-hourly connections to both Rapperswil and Zürich HB (combined quarter-hourly service in both directions). [7] [8] During weekends, there is also a nighttime S-Bahn service (SN5) offered by ZVV. [9] Summary of S-Bahn services:

As of the December 2023 timetable change, there are seven bus routes to/from Jona railway station. The services are provided by Stadtbus Rapperswil-Jona, [10] which is operated by the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee und Oberland (VZO), and by Schneider Busbetriebe  [ de ]. [11] While lines 991, 992, 994 and 995 (and 996 during peak.hours) all depart from the forecourt of the station, line 622 departs from Kreuz, and line 993 from Vogelau (both of these bus stops are within walking distance).

History

Until the timetable change on 10 December 2023, bus line 621 (operated by Schneider) operated between Rapperswil railway station and Jona, Buechstrasse Ost via Jona railway station. This line stopped operations due to the increase in frequency of line 622, which mostly uses the same route. Line 995 operated between Rapperswil railway station and Hummelberg, but was truncated in December 2023 for the same reason. Line 995 now also serves the leg from Jona Center to Jona, Buechstrasse Ost, replacing line 621.
