s-Bahn Zurich Local trains Zurich included? Planner vs website

Question:

The website mentions clearly that the local S Bahn in Zürich is included with the pass.

 

 

The app as well under "travel info" says so:

 

The planner app in the "planner" menu however says that it's NOT included : when i search for Zurich HB to Wildpark for example it says "not in pass network".

Is this a contradiction??

Is it included or not?

 

Many thanks

This must be an error in the app. The S-Bahn in Zürich is included in the pass. 

No. SZU and Forchbahn are really not included. and this line is operated by SZU.

So, the announcement that all S-Bahns are included is firstly wrong and secondly useless than even the lines have numbers starting with S, the carriages are normally painted with the operators color and name only.

@runner.on.rails Oh; so all the S-Bahnen are included but the S10 between HB and Uetliberg are not. Many thanks for clarifying that one. Interrail should really mention that...

Also S4 (SZU) and S18 (Forchbahn) are not included.
