FAIRTIQ is an innovative mobile ticketing solution that makes travelling on public transport easier than ever.
We use machine learning based bespoke algorithms to build a highly accurate picture of a user’s journey, using data collected by mobile sensors, making the app very precise and reliable.
Since the founding in 2016, our innovative, simple solution has been recognised internationally: We have grown our partnership network to over 50 partners in the public transportation sector. Thanks to these strategic partnerships, we already cover the entire public transportation system in Switzerland – while also growing internationally, i.e. in Germany, Austria, France and Denmark.
As the company grows we have evolving requirements and needs for our mobile apps,
FAIRTIQ
