Hello QAT
Welcome to the SBB Community.
You have misread. The information you have read is for residents holding the red SwissPass card.
SwissPass and Swiss Travel Pass is not the same.
SwissPass = for residents.
Swiss Travel Pass = for tourists.
You can pass the turnstiles using your ticket containing a QR code. If you can’t pass, the staff on-site can help.
Kind regards,
Roland
