FAIRTIQ Enters U.S. Mobile Ticketing Market
Nationwide in Switzerland and in a growing number of countries, transit users have used FAIRTIQ over 22 million times to check in when boarding and check out when done.

To kick off FAIRTIQ’s arrival in North America, European transit innovators invite you to hear their experience with mobile ticketing and discuss its future on April 29.
Nationwide in Switzerland and in a growing number of countries, transit users have used FAIRTIQ over 22 million times to check in when boarding and check out when done. At the end of the day, week, or month, they pay the best price based on pricing policies that caps, cashback and bonuses, time of day and even location-specific fares. FAIRTIQ is contactless and needs no validators. Each transaction provides the agency with full origin-destination data.
Just in time for FAIRTIQ’s fifth anniversary, the start of 2021 heralded a giant leap forward for ticketing technology. The FAIRTIQ app can accurately process a check-out without user intervention with the feature being progressively rolled out to all markets.
On April 29, FAIRTIQ is encouraging operators to meet a select group of transit industry leaders from Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland and hear how they are leveraging mobile ticketing to create an easy and contactless customer experience, boost revenue and ridership opportunities, and generate data of unprecedented precision. Following their moderated discussion, the panel of innovators will take your questions and will invite you to join them in group discussions around themes you will get to determine.
