Our researched notes are written from a sourced entry: every shared taxi, boat and village bus with its operator, its rule, its fare and the year we saw it, and what could not be confirmed.

What Wikivoyage says about moving around
- Get inBut these are scenic cruises taking 8 days to tour the cities along the way; they're not point-to-point ferries.
- Get aroundYou can be carried across the Rhine by Fähri, one of Basel's four small ferry boats, which, hanging at a steel rope, are silently drawn by the current between the two banks of the river.
- Go nextThe following destinations are good day trips by train from Basel: Zürich, Bern, Interlaken (see below), Lucerne (see below), Schaffhausen — all in Switzerland, 1–2 hours from the main station (Bahnhof SBB).
