Difference between FAIRTIQ and other automated ticketing apps (CH)

In 2015, a team of innovators imagined a new app in Switzerland, aiming to simplify public transport ticketing. They called it FAIRTIQ. Today, we are proud to have accomplished this vision & to have contributed to the nationwide acceptance of Automated Mobile Ticketing.

Automated Ticketing is available through many different apps: FAIRTIQ, SBB EasyRide, BLS Mobile, ZVV Ticket App, etc.

1. In Switzerland, the area of validity of all apps is the same. Thus, you can also travel with FAIRTIQ on the SBB, Postbus, ZVV... 
2. The price calculated by all apps should be the same: all the apps comply to the same regulations, which are set by the different tariff communities as well as CH-Direct, the management and coordination body between the 250 transport companies in Switzerland.

FAIRTIQ is the technology provider of most apps. FAIRTIQ also operates an app of the same name.

FAIRTIQ is the original automated ticketing app in Switzerland. We are a startup of around 70 people and have built the FAIRTIQ system since 2015. We collaborate with 30+ public transport companies and operate our own app "FAIRTIQ" :
