Bern, 14 April 2026. What started as the simplest way to buy tickets in Switzerland is now taking the next step. To mark its tenth anniversary in April 2026, FAIRTIQ is introducing a timetable feature in the app - developed in collaboration with 10 Swiss transport companies - making it easier than ever for users to plan their entire journey in one place. With this step, the Bern-based company is evolving from a ticketing provider into a fully integrated digital travel companion.
With this new feature, FAIRTIQ is expanding its offering in a targeted manner: users can search for connections directly in the app, check real-time departures and access platform information as well as delay updates. This creates a central point of entry for everyday mobility – from planning through to arrival.
In its first version, the timetable feature deliberately focuses on the most important everyday needs of users. Based on user feedback and in close collaboration with public transport partners, it will be gradually enhanced over the coming months.
The timetable is initially launched in the Swiss home market: the dense public transport network offers ideal conditions to test and refine new features close to passengers’ needs. In doing so, FAIRTIQ underlines its strong connection to the Swiss market despite significant international expansion.
“The integration of the timetable is an important step in addressing key customer needs. Over the past ten years, we have focused on making ticket purchasing as simple as possible. Now we are taking the next step by supporting users already at the journey planning stage. Launching this new chapter in our home market highlights our deep roots in the Swiss public transport system. The timetable has been developed in close collaboration with our Swiss partners and will continue to evolve together with them,” says Gian-Mattia Schucan, Founder and Co-CEO of FAIRTIQ.
The first version of the timetable is now available to all users in Switzerland. It can be found in the app under Menu > Timetable. If you don’t see the timetable, please update the app via the App Store or Play Store first.
The new timetable feature complements FAIRTIQ’s proven mobile pay-as-you-go technology: travellers continue to start their journey with a swipe, without setting a destination in advance. They can use all connections flexibly and end their journey on arrival with a swipe or automatically via Smart Stop. This allows users to focus fully on their journey, while FAIRTIQ takes care of billing in the background.
