I would go with the info on the official site as being the current policy - did not check date on other site but may be outdated - for a definitive answer as I mentioned before call Byron at www.budgeteuropetravel.com - he will check IME with higher ups in RailEurope (part owned by Swiss Railways) for a definitive answer to the question, if important to you. And if do tell me what you found out. I know with a Swiss Pass you get a map indicating which rail lines are 100% covered and which are 50%, etc. So once you got the pass you would know - but again I would think the offical Rigibahn - Rigi Railways site much be correct - it could be a recent change as I too was under the impression it was only 50% off as I previously said, in error it seems!

Sure..I shall talk to Byron soon.
btw, if you check this Swiss Pass coverage map, it shows 100% for the Rigi, I guess:

If the map is current then it is current! Like the official Rigi Bahn site - I assume it is now 100% but may have been 50% in the not so distant past?
