    • Managing favorites and touch schedule

      First of all, to add a stop to your favorites, you have to click on the star located to the left of the stop that you entered in the search bar. The star turns orange once a favorite is added.

      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”. 

      Then click on the “CONNECT WITH SWISSPASS” button. If you do not yet have an account with Swisspass.ch, you will first have to create an account by following the steps on the site (choose “I have a public transport travel pass” to indicate your Swisspass card number in the “Customer number” field).
      Log in with your Swisspass.ch credentials and as soon as you are redirected to the tpg+ application, click on the “ACTIVATE MY SWISSPASS” button. All you have to do is validate the terms of use and your dematerialized Swisspass is displayed.

      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.

    • How do I find a route?

      To create a route, click on the bottom tab “ROUTES”, in the second position at the bottom of your navigation screen. Then, once on the itinerary page, enter your departure in the “MY POSITION” field and your destination in the “TO” field.

      The app will offer you the best possible routes and will show you on the bottom half of your screen the next departures and changes. You can see the details of one of the proposed itineraries by clicking on the chosen schedule.

      After choosing your route, tap CONTINUE to purchase the correct ticket for that route.

    • What is real time?

      Real time is a timetable which, based on the theoretical timetable, takes into account traffic hazards (demonstrations, accidents, etc.)

    • Why does tpg+ need permissions?
      • For location: Geolocation requires activating the GPS function so that tpg+ can locate the nearest stop. The same applies if you want the stop closest to where you are located to appear in the schedule.
      • For Internet access: To process your requests, tpgPreview needs Internet access in order to access schedule and ticket data in particular.

The Direct Service has developed extremely popular travel passes, such as the general travel pass or the half-fare travel pass. 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."

      Tickets are kept for one month on the application.

    • How long are tickets purchased on tpgPreview stored in the application?

  • Account
    • 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.

    • I forgot my password. What should I do?

      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.

    • Can I change my password?

      You can change your e-mail address via the Menu by selecting "Webshop", then "My travel passes". In the webshop you can change your details in "Profile". Then click on "Settings" on the small pencil at the bottom right and follow the instructions.

    • What happens to my personal data (name, address, etc...)?

      Please refer to our General Terms and Conditions of Use, which can be found under Menu – Information.

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

    • Do I have to register to buy a ticket on tpgPreview?

      Yes, you need to create an account or log in to your tpg webshop account to purchase a ticket using a credit card or SMS: Last name, first name, date of birth, and valid e-mail. This data is necessary to guarantee payment transactions confidentiality.

    • When I fill in my e-mail, I get the message "invalid e-mail".

      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.
      If you forget your password, please consult the related question/answer. 

  • 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.

      Please note that if you have deactivated localization, you will need to restart tpg+ for the application to reset your geolocation. If localization is active, move the map slightly or zoom out slightly to see the orange dot symbolizing your position and the nearest stops.

Nouvelle version de l'app tpg

L'app historique des tpg est arrivée en fin de course : depuis fin 2023, les technologies utilisées pour garantir des informations de qualité sont obsolètes et ne peuvent plus délivrer une information stable aux utilisateurs. Une mise-à-jour de l’application est indispensable pour continuer à utiliser l’app avec les fonctionnalités utiles à vos déplacements.

Fini de courir pour attendre… Grâce à l’application tpg vous pourrez retrouver la liberté d’organiser vos déplacements et votre temps selon vos besoins. Pour les voyageurs réguliers, les temps d’attente jusqu’au prochain véhicule, la durée du voyage et les correspondances possibles sont autant d’informations disponibles en temps réel, c’est-à-dire en fonction de la position actuelle des véhicules ! Pour les voyageurs occasionnels, la recherche d’itinéraires, la géolocalisation de l’arrêt le plus proche et la cartographie vous guident pas à pas.

Enfin pour les uns et les autres, l’info trafic avertit des éventuelles perturbations sur le réseau, afin que chacun et chacune puisse organiser ses déplacements en toute sérénité
