Bauma station is an intermediate station on the Zürich S-Bahn route S26, which operates between Rapperswil and Winterthur. It is also served by buses of the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee und Oberland (VZO) and Swiss PostBus service (PostAuto).[2]

The UeBB line beyond Hinwil, towards Uerikon, was closed in 1948 and little now remains.[3][4]
