For those living in Ticino (and beyond), this happens often, especially with such a widespread public transport network. But now, there is an app that makes everything simpler and... automatic.

For those living in Ticino (and beyond), this happens often, especially with the extensive public transport network. But now there is an app that **makes everything simpler and… automatic**. It is called **FAIRTIQ**, and it has already become for many **the most convenient way to travel** in Switzerland via public transport **without thinking about tickets**. **How does it work?** The idea is brilliant in its simplicity: • **Open the app before boarding** the bus, tram, or train • **Tap “Start”** on your smartphone • When you get off, **tap “Stop”** That's it. No fare selection, no complicated menus, no departure station to enter. **FAIRTIQ automatically calculates the most cost-effective price** based on your journey and charges you the correct amount at the end of the day. In practice, the app "follows" you during your trip (with geolocation active) and understands where you boarded and where you deboarded. If you forget to press “Stop,” the app sends you a notification to remind you. And if you forget entirely, it still applies **the fairest fare** based on the time elapsed. **Where can it be used?** In Ticino, FAIRTIQ works **across the entire Arcobaleno network**: urban and intercity buses, regional trains, and funiculars—all included. But the app's real strength is that **it is also valid in the rest of Switzerland**: from Zurich to Geneva, from Bern to Lausanne. With a single app, you can travel practically anywhere **without having to memorize zones, fares, and ticket combinations**. **Advantages for everyone** - **No need to register every time** or deal with complicated logins • No queues at ticket machines • It also works for those **without a fixed travelcard** • The amount is **charged directly to your credit card or TWINT** • It can also be used **in combination with SwissPass** And in case of an inspection? No problem. Simply show the app, and the inspector verifies the digital ticket with a code. **Who is it ideal for?** FAIRTIQ is perfect for **occasional users**, but also for daily commuters who want to **keep everything under control in a single app**. Even for the most skeptical, after a few trips, it becomes **hard to go back**. Not to mention that the fare is always the **most advantageous one available for the journey taken**. Therefore, there is **no risk of overpaying** or choosing the wrong ticket. **In conclusion** In the world of public transport, where bureaucracy can sometimes discourage even the most willing, FAIRTIQ represents **a breath of fresh air**. A **smart, lightweight, and effective** app that helps us avoid mistakes and saves us time. And in a Ticino that is increasingly looking toward digital solutions, this is **a small, silent revolution… to keep in your pocket**.                                                                                      More info on the official website: https.//www.fairtiq.com Share this article [WhatsApp](https://wa.me/?text=FAIRTIQ%3A%20pay%20for%20your%20ticket%20with%20a%20swipe%20-%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lucacarbone.ch%2Fen%2Fmobility%2Ffartiq)Copy link ### Keep reading [All articles](/en/blog)[AI for Business](/en/ai-per-aziende)[Services](/en/services)[Contact](/en/contact) ## Related Articles [ ![Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: the car that talks to your home and… WOW!](https://wdulmpxygmloyswixhxp.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/article-images/1778953526906-jfc27re2w.png) Mobilità #### Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: the car that talks to your home and… WOW! ](/en/mobility/xiaomi-su7ultra-l-auto-che-parla-con-la-vostra-casa-e-wow)[ ![Tesla changes forever how we will see a car](https://wdulmpxygmloyswixhxp.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/article-images/1771713276737-8e53vmbom.jpg) Mobilità #### Tesla changes forever how we will see a car ](/en/mobility/tesla-cambia-per-sempre-come-vedremo-un-auto)[ ![MeteoSwiss: the official app for constantly updated and precise weather forecasts, featuring a new modern design](https://wdulmpxygmloyswixhxp.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/article-images/articles/meteoswiss-app-ufficiale-previsioni-meteo-1769898954646.png) Mobilità #### MeteoSwiss: the official app for constantly updated and precise weather forecasts, featuring a new modern design ](/en/mobility/meteoswiss-app-ufficiale-previsioni-meteo)[ ![Blitzer: drive calmly and safely in Switzerland and across Europe with a simple app](https://wdulmpxygmloyswixhxp.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/article-images/articles/blitzer-guida-serena-sicura-svizzera-europa-app-1769898953747.webp) Mobilità #### Blitzer: drive calmly and safely in Switzerland and across Europe with a simple app ](/en/mobility/blitzer-guida-serena-sicura-svizzera-europa-app)[ ![SMARTGATE the Advantage of the Swiss Passport in Swiss and European Airports](https://wdulmpxygmloyswixhxp.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/article-images/articles/smartgate-passaporto-svizzero-1769898957670.jpg) Mobilità #### SMARTGATE the Advantage of the Swiss Passport in Swiss and European Airports ](/en/mobility/smartgate-passaporto-svizzero) [All Mobilità articles](/en/blog?category=Mobilit%C3%A0) [ LC://CONNECT LucaCarbone ](/) \> Writing about technology.
