After reclaiming baggage, follow the railway station sign "Bahn/Railway" to ticket counters and machines. Follow the English instructions or
simply press the left (red) key at the bottom "Zurich City". The machine accepts coins as well as banknotes and gives change.
The ticket is valid during the next 2 hours for any train to Zurich as well as for the trams (streetcars) and buses in the city.

Take tram no. 6 (direction Zoo) from the tram stop "Bahnhofstrasse" or take tram no. 10 (direction Seebach)
from the tram stop "Bahnhofplatz" to the stop ETH/Universitätsspital (the 3rd stop). It takes about 6 minutes.
