    • How do I change my display settings on my home screen?

      Go to the very bottom of the home screen and tap on "Display Preferences". You can move the modules to have them in a different order or deactivate them so that you don't see them on the home screen.

    • Favorites management

      For the next departures (Search for stops), you can enter a stop and press the star on the right before validating it. This favorite will come to the top of the list for later consultations, upcoming departures or route search.

    • Where are the departures of the stops in the area?

      They can be found on the home screen under the info "Departures nearby". The dots below allow you to change the nearby stop from the closest to the farthest. You can also scroll to the right to change stops or click on the "Search for stops" button to find departures from other stops.

    • Is the app accessible to people with visual impairments?

      An external audit will be sent by Hacon (provider of the tpg app) at the beginning of October 2026 to attest to the accessibility of the app by visually impaired people.

    • What is real time?

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

    • Can I put stops as shortcuts when searching for directions?

      Yes, by going to the "My Locations" module on the home screen, it is possible to specify a stop or an address as the place of home (home) or work (work). You can also specify any other place and name it in any way you wish. This allows you to search for routes more quickly.

    • Can I register my SwissPass in the app?

      Yes, go to the "Tickets" tab of your app under "SwissPass mobile".
      Then click on the "Log in 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, click on the "Set up now" 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. You can find your mobile SwissPass at any time in the "Tickets" tab and then under "Mobile SwissPass".
      All you have to do is show this screen during a check.

      For reference:

  • e-tickets
    • Que se passe-t-il si mon téléphone n’a plus de batterie lors d’un contrôle et que je ne peux pas présenter mon billet électronique (e-ticket) ?

      Tout billet acheté sur l’application tpg est nominatif. Le client doit pouvoir prouver son identité en cas de contrôle.
      Les e-tickets (billets achetés sur l’application tpg) sont accessibles en tout temps y compris hors ligne via l’icône « Billets » en bas de l’écran.
      Selon le tarif national T600 de l’Alliance SwissPass, vous disposez d’un délai de 10 jours pour présenter votre billet (qui devait être valable au moment du contrôle). Des frais de traitement de CHF 5.00 vous seront demandés. Passé ce délai, les frais de dossier s’élèvent alors à CHF 30.00.
       

    • Les billets achetés sur l’app tpg sont-ils cessibles ?

      Non, les billets achetés sur l’application tpg sont nominatifs et non cessibles. Lors du contrôle des billets, vous devez présenter une pièce d’identité valable (passeport, carte d’identité). En revanche, si vous avez un abonnement, vous n’aurez pas besoin de présenter votre pièce d’identité.

    • Quels documents dois-je présenter lors d’un contrôle ?

      Oui, vous pouvez retrouver vos billets en cours de validité même hors réseau et sans wifi dans l’onglet « Billets » sous « Billets actifs ».
      Si vous possédez un abonnement, vous pouvez présenter votre SwissPass, dans l’onglet « Billets » sous « SwissPass mobile ». Il vous faudra avoir auparavant enregistré votre SwissPass dans votre application (consultez la question « Puis-je enregistrer mon SwissPass dans l’app ? » plus haut dans la rubrique).
       

  • Localisation
    • L’app ne trouve pas d’arrêts à proximité ?

      Pour que tpg puisse utiliser votre position géographique, il est nécessaire d’autoriser l’accès à la localisation de votre téléphone dans ses réglages.
      Attention, si vous avez désactivé la localisation, il sera nécessaire de redémarrer tpg pour que l’application puisse réinitialiser votre géolocalisation. Si la localisation est active, faites légèrement bouger la carte ou dézoomez légèrement pour voir la pastille orange symbolisant votre position et les arrêts les plus proches.
