      The Duo offer lets holders of a valid unireso Tout Genève Adult travel pass provide their partners living in the same household with a discounted unireso Tout Genève travel pass (CHF 450.- for the yearly Duo travel pass and CHF 65.- for the monthly Duo travel pass).

    • How do I add my children to my Family offer?

      You can add your children's profiles to your personal account on the Family/Duo Offers tab in the webshop. Simply enter your SwissPass number or tpg number and your date of birth. This can also be done in our tpg agencies.

      A copy of your family record book or certificate will be requested as proof.

      For online requests to add a child via the webshop, your request will be validated within three working days. Once you receive the confirmation e-mail, you will be able to benefit from the Family offer for your children's travel pass. Remember to check your spam if you do not receive the e-mail.

    • How do I add my partner to my Duo offer?

      You can add your partner to your account on the Family/Duo Offers tab of the webshop by using their SwissPass number or tpg number and date of birth. This can also be done in our tpg agencies.

      You will be asked to provide a proof of residence from your partner that is less than three months old. This certificate must be renewed every year.

      For online requests to add a partner via the webshop, your request will be validated within three working days. Once you receive the confirmation e-mail, you will be able to benefit from the Duo offer for your partner's travel pass.

    • How do I take advantage of the Family offer on the webshop?

      To get a Junior Family travel pass for your children, you must:

      - Be a parent or have parental authority and be in possession of a valid unireso Tout Genève travel pass

      - Have added your children to your Family offer either in an agency or on the webshop

      You can then order discounted travel passes for your children in the Shop tab by searching for travel passes for your children. The Family discount will automatically be reflected in the price displayed, and the travel pass category will indicate “Family Offer”. For example:

    • How can I take advantage of the Duo offer on the webshop?

      To get a discounted Tout Genève travel pass for your partner, you must:

      - Hold a valid full-fare Adult Tout Genève travel pass

      - Have added your partner to your Duo offer either in an agency or on the webshop

      You can then order the discounted travel for your partner in the "Shop" tab by searching for a travel pass for your partner. The Duo discount will automatically be reflected in the price displayed and the travel pass category will indicate “Duo Offer”. For example:

    • Can I take advantage of the Family and Duo offers at the same time?

      Yes, you can use both the Duo offer for your partner and the Family offer for your children.

    • Can my child purchase a Junior Family travel pass from their account?

      Yes. If your children are added to your Family in your 'parent' account, they will be able to buy their own travel pass from their own webshop account and benefit from the Family offer until they turn 25.

    • My child benefits from a common subsidy on his or her Junior pass. Can he or she combine this with the Family offer?

      Yes, the common subsidy on your child's Junior pass can be combined with the Family offer.

    • I can't find my Family members when I check my webshop account, why is that?

      Your children may no longer appear in your webshop account if the Family offer is no longer valid. This happens if your child reaches 25 years old, the maximum age to benefit from the offer. At that point, he/she will then be automatically removed from the Family tab of your webshop account.

    • My partner has a subsidized travel pass, can he/she also benefit from the Duo offer?

      Yes, subsidies from a social entity, a municipality, or a company can be combined with the Duo offer.

    • I have an yearly unireso travel pass purchased in instalments and I can't get the Family/Duo offer for my child/partner.

      Pay-as-you-go travel passes do not qualify for the Family/Duo offer.

    • Does my monthly travel pass give me the right to a Family/Duo discount for my child's/partner's yearly travel pass?

      No, only a yearly travel pass grants you the right to a Family/Duo discount on a yearly or monthly travel pass. A monthly travel pass only entitles your child/partner to a discount on another monthly travel pass.

      Presenting this temporary SwissPass card during an on-board check shows the ticket inspector that you have ordered a valid travel pass, saving you from any hassle.

    • What is the SwissPass?

      Like a wallet holding your bank cards, the SwissPass is a wallet holding all your tickets and transport passes acquired and valid in Switzerland.

      This number is written on your basic card and your yearly/monthly tpg travel pass. It is used for personal identification in the tpg client database.
