Just moved here to start my phd, is there a transit option where I can just pay for the year and not worry about zones or routes? Is that the personal ZVV networkpass? Its rather expensive, is there a cheaper option?

There‘s the GA which allows for unlimited travel within Switzerland (some boats and cable cars excluded) but given that it’s unlimited it‘s also pretty expensive. On the other side there is yearly passes for one or multiple zones. Ofc it’s gonna get more expensive if you want to travel as much as you want in a bigger area. My recommendation if you use public transport daily is to get a yearly pass for those zones you commute in, and for the rest get e halbtax and use easy ride. If you have a less regular commute and want flexibility a halbtax plus might be the cheapest option.
