SBB Mobile App: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to use the SBB Mobile App to access real-time schedules and book travel tickets directly on your phone.

The SBB Mobile App is a digital tool designed to help you manage your travel through real-time schedules and easy ticket booking.

Who it's for

This app is intended for all travelers. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor passing through, the app is designed to be accessible to anyone who needs to navigate the transport network.

What you get

The primary benefit of this app is the ability to view real-time schedules, ensuring you know exactly when your next connection is arriving. Beyond just viewing times, the app provides a streamlined way to handle ticket booking, allowing you to purchase your travel passes or individual tickets directly through your mobile device. This eliminates the need to find a physical ticket machine or visit a service counter for every trip.

What it costs you

Using the app itself is free. There is no subscription fee or purchase price required to download and use the software's core features. You only pay for the actual transport tickets you choose to purchase through the platform.

The catch to know

While the app is straightforward, you should be aware of how specific features work. The EasyRide feature is designed for convenience, but it functions by tracking your location. This location data is used to automatically bill you for your journey once you have finished traveling, so you do not have to manually select a ticket before boarding.

How to apply

  1. Download the app onto your mobile device from your app store.
  2. Set up your personal profile and add your preferred payment method.
  3. Use the search function to find real-time schedules for your intended route.
  4. Select your desired journey and follow the prompts to book your ticket or start your trip via EasyRide.
