Does the Swiss Family Pass work for siblings?
I cannot find a definitive answer for this anywhere. Swiss Family Passes say they give free travel to a child under 16 travelling with a "parent". Another website says "parent or legal guardian". I am going to Switzerland in April with my brother. Can I use a family pass to get him free travel if I get an Adult Travel Pass? He is 15, I am 23.

Unless a court has decreed you his legal guardian, I doubt it.

It's official. I've had an email from the Swiss Travel System:
Thank you for your email and your interest in Swiss Travel System.
Unfortunately, the Swiss Family Card is only valid for children
travelling with their parents. Therefore, if you travel without your
parents the card is not available.
In that case we recommend you to buy a Swiss Travel Pass for children
for your brother (50% discounted to the normal/adults fare) and a
Swiss Travel Pass Youth for you.
