Just out of interest, how much do you pay just for a ticket to the Swiss
border and back?
While there is no detail confirmed about the day trip, people buying
multi-day rail passes would presumably use them to and from the border
and on the day trip as well
The regional pass for "Lake Geneva - Alps" is a typical example but
doesn't stretch to the German border:

(adult, 130 CHF, 7 days)
but for somebody coming from France, assuming that half the price of
that ticket is used for the day trip, and the other half is paying for
arrival/departure, they are paying about 33 CHF each way from the border
to Yverdon.
