Open route brief

01 · Basel vs Baden comparator

Two venues. Different journey logic.

Parking
Free, supervised during visit
Tables
From 19:00, operator-confirmed
Entry
Free; 18+ and valid ID

Baden

Best for Baden Bahnhof and Aargau. Current pop-up format must be considered before choosing.

Parking
206 spaces · 24h · max 2.00m
Tables
Start-time conflict; verify with operator
Entry
CHF 10; stated exceptions

03 · Last-return cutoff board

Venue hours are not transport hours.

Cutoff status is deliberately qualitative. Exact last departures require date-specific SBB/BVB/DB/SNCF lookup immediately before travel.

04 · Taxi fallback

An estimate you can audit.

Basel-Stadt night ceiling: CHF 6.50 base + CHF 4.50/km + CHF 2.80 booking, excluding waiting.

Baden night ceiling: CHF 6.80 base + CHF 4.60/km, excluding waiting.

Examples in the planner use rounded map distance inputs and are not quotes. Cross-border trips always show “quote required”. Fixed prices may be agreed.

05 · Evidence layers

Unknown is a valid answer.

Language confidence

Service languages stay “unconfirmed” until the operator confirms them or a dated field observation exists. A translated website is not proof.

Accessibility

Each leg is assessed separately. Use live SBB accessibility filters; venue step-free access remains unconfirmed pending fieldwork.

Tables, minimum bets & crowd

Minimum bets and crowd levels require a dated observation with game, table, time and observer. No observation means no claim.

Verified observation log

No publishable minimum-bet or crowd observations yet. This empty state is intentional; the fieldwork gate remains closed.
