FAIRTIQ

Switzerland’s simplest ticket

The FAIRTIQ app can be used for trips throughout all Switzerland. It is valid on the entire GA travelcard network. Passengers no longer have to worry about the fares of different fare associations. 

Switzerland’s simplest ticket
Swipe “Start” when you hop on and “Stop” when you hop off – it’s that simple. FAIRTIQ automatically detects and measures the driven route using a location tracker and charges the amount to the stored payment method. You don’t pay for the ticket until you reach the end of your journey. And should you forget to press “Stop” after hopping off, you will automatically be reminded.

Travelling with FAIRTIQ means saving both time and money. Users are automatically charged the best price. Should the price of your single journey exceed that of a day pass, you will subsequently be charged the more favourable tariff.

New: Smart Stop

Forgotten to end your trip in the FAIRTIQ app? The new Smart Stop function will solve this problem in future and will automatically end the trip! How does it work? Thanks to improved travel recognition, Smart Stop detects when you are no longer using public transport but have not finished your journey. The feature reminds you to check out and even does it for you after a certain time. But don’t worry, the journey will only end when the journey has effectively come to an end and you leave public transport – it’s no problem for you to change trains.
