      To find your favorites, go to your application menu by clicking on the “MENU” button at the bottom right. Then, click on the orange arrow next to the “SCHEDULES” section and finally click on “FAVORITES” which will be displayed.

      This brings you to a checkerboard with all your favorites and allows you to search for a route quickly and intuitively by simply connecting one square to another with your finger (touch timetable).
      You can also delete favorites by choosing the pencil icon.

    • Can I register my SwissPass in the app and check my travel passes?

      Yes, to do this, go to the menu of your application by clicking on the “MENU” button at the bottom right and choosing “MY SWISSPASS”.

      Of course these operations have to be carried out only once. As soon as you go to your menu and click on “MY SWISSPASS”, it will be displayed.
      You will then be able to check your current travel passes and show your screen during a check.

With the exception of a few tourist lines, these travel passes cover virtually the entire Swiss public transport network. Individual ticket fares are also valid end-to-end."

    • Why do I need a tpg account to buy tickets?

      It is a legal requirement that the last name, first name, gender and date of birth be known to issue an electronic ticket. This is why this information is requested at the time of purchase. 

    • Can I change my personal data in tpgPreview?

      You can change your personal data (last name, first name, date of birth, and 1/2 tariff travel pass) by choosing Menu – My account – Edit profile.

    • My personal data

      Indication of your date of birth is key to correct ticket pricing.

      You can request a password change by clicking on the "Menu" icon and choosing "My Account".  In the login screen, choose "Forgot password" and follow the instructions.

      If you want to learn more about our data protection policy, click on this link.

      This means that your e-mail address does not yet exist in our database. Create your account on the app or on the webshop now.

  • Etickets
    • Rule during checks
      • Any ticket purchased on the application is nominative. The customer must be able to prove his or her identity in the event of an inspection.
      • E-ticket tickets (tickets purchased on the application) are accessible at all times, including offline, via the "MY TRIPS" icon at the bottom right of the screen. In addition, with each purchase of a transport ticket via the application, an e-mail containing your ticket in pdf and pkpass (format readable by the Wallet-type applications standardly provided on iPhone and downloadable on Android) is sent to you.
      • According to the T600N, the presentation of a ticket after the fact (e.g. dead battery), involves invoicing a processing fee of CHF 30.00 (Art. 3.1.10 and 12.7.4.2). This is not a situation of forgetting, but a situation of regularization after control of a traveler without a transport ticket during the control. In practice, like the SMS-ticket, the traveler checked on board must present himself/herself to the BCO and, on production of his/her e-ticket which is valid but unavailable during the check, he/she will pay the processing fees provided for by the T600 for this regularization and which are up to CHF 30.-. because in all cases these situations require clarifications, within the meaning of Article 12.7.4.2. It is Article 12.2.3.9 that concerns us, and the latter refers us to 12.7.4.
    • Are tickets purchased on tpgPreview transferable?

      No, tickets purchased on the app are personal and non-transferable. When checking the tickets, you must present a valid identity document (passport, identity card). On the other hand, if you have a travel pass, you will not need to present your identity document.

    • What documents do I have to present during an inspection?

      The tickets you have purchased on your smartphone are personal and non-transferable. To be valid, they must be associated with a valid official identity document in the name of the traveler (passport, identity card or transport ticket). In addition, with each purchase of a transport ticket via the application, an e-mail containing your ticket in pdf and pkpass (format readable by the Wallet-type applications standardly provided on iPhone and downloadable on Android) is sent to you. You can then transfer your ticket by e-mail and view it offline. This development now offers you four options for presenting your ticket in the event of a check: via the tpgPreview app (e-ticket), via the Wallet app (pkpass), via your phone's pdf reader or on paper if you have printed the pdf before your departure.
      If you have purchased a ticket in connection with a travel pass registered on a SwissPass, all you have to do is present your electronic ticket directly on your tpgPreview application. It is necessary for this that you be connected with your login on the application. Your valid tickets are accessible even off the network and without wifi under "MY TRIPS", "CURRENT TRIPS".

      If you have a travel pass, you can present your Swisspass by clicking first on "MENU" then "MY SWISSPASS". You will need to have previously registered your Swisspass in your app (see the question "Can I register my Swisspass in the app?" above in the section).

  • Location
    • tpg+ can't find any stops nearby?

      For tpg+ to be able to use your geographical position, you need to authorize access to your phone's location in its settings.
