FAIRTIQ

We were founded in 2016, developing a mobile ticketing system for public transport. Our app lets users check in and out for their journeys, so they don’t need to buy traditional tickets. It automatically calculates and charges the lowest possible fare for any trip—whether single, multi-leg, or involving multiple operators—and applies the cheapest day ticket price when available. We use AI-based algorithms to track journeys accurately. The FAIRTIQ app is available on Apple iOS and Android and can be quickly implemented since it doesn’t require on-vehicle or on-station equipment.

We partner with 86 public transport companies in 6 countries. Our system has processed over 140 million journeys, with more than 100,000 users traveling daily and over 2.7 billion kilometers traveled in total. We keep the system running with 99.99% uptime. For travelers, the app is simple to use, offering real-time tickets and automatically finding the lowest price without needing to specify destinations.

We aim to simplify public transport for everyone. Our strategies and daily decisions reflect our strong values and beliefs.

• Agility: We work iteratively and use adaptable methods to improve our product.
• Flexibility: We support flexible work arrangements.
• Team Spirit: We foster mutual appreciation and organize social gatherings to build team connections.
• Progress: We encourage employees to expand their skills, experiences, and responsibilities.
• Inclusivity, Curiosity, and Collaboration: These are also central to our culture.

We have a team of 51-200 employees, led by co-CEOs Gian-Mattia Schucan (founder) and Anne Mellano. Our team is distributed across Europe, including countries like Portugal, France, and the UK. We also have corporate offices in Bern and Zurich, Switzerland, and Berlin, Germany.

We cultivate a creative, international, and cross-functional work environment where every team member is valued.
