The S2 is a railway service of the Zurich S-Bahn on the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) transportation network, and is one of the network's services connecting the canton of Zurich with the cantons of Schwyz and St. Gallen.

At Zürich HB, trains of the S2 service usually depart from underground platforms (Gleise) 31–34 (Löwenstrasse station).

• S2 Zürich Flughafen –Oerlikon–Zürich HB–Thalwil–Pfäffikon SZ–Ziegelbrücke (–Unterterzen)
  Stops between Zürich Enge and Ziegelbrücke only in Thalwil, Horgen, Wädenswil, Richterswil, Pfäffikon SZ, Altendorf, Lachen and Siebnen-Wangen. Weekend services extended non-stop from Ziegelbrücke to Unterterzen at hourly intervals.

The service links Zurich Airport with Ziegelbrücke, a village and railway junction on the border between the cantons of St. Gallen and Glarus. On weekends, every other train continues to Unterterzen. From the airport, the service runs via Oerlikon and the Weinberg Tunnel to Zürich Hauptbahnhof. From Zürich Hauptbahnhof, the service uses the Lake Zurich left-bank railway line to Ziegelbrücke, stopping only at selected stations.^[4]

As of the December 2022 timetable change,^[update] all services are operated with RABe 514 class trains.^[5]

The train frequency is usually 30 minutes and the trip takes 65 minutes between Zurich Airport and Ziegelbrücke, and an additional 13 minutes from Ziegelbrücke to Unterterzen.^[4]

Originally, the S2 operated between Zurich Airport and Ziegelbrücke. With the 15 June 2014 timetable change (opening of the Weinberg Tunnel), the route was lengthened to Unterterzen and services to stations between Siebnen-Wangen and Ziegelbrücke were suspended.^[6] The S27 (March shuttle), which is not part of the Zürich S-Bahn network (or the St. Gallen S-Bahn network), was introduced, replacing the S2 between Ziegelbrücke and Siebnen-Wangen (operates only during peak-hour).
