FAIRTIQ, a Switzerland-based check-in, check-out mobile ticketing solution, is coming to North America markets. 

Nationwide in Switzerland and in a growing number of countries, transit users have used FAIRTIQ more than 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.

"With Smart Stop, FAIRTIQ has responded in a tangible way to the fundamental desire to do away with the check-out process. It is great to be able to count on a highly innovative partner and we look forward to offering our In/Out pilot users the opportunity to put this automatic check-out feature to the test very soon," said RMV Transport Association CEO Knut Ringat, Frankfurt Region, Germany.

On April 29, FAIRTIQ is hosting a webinar for viewers 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 questions and participate in a roundtable discussion.
