Best Transit apps in Switzerland (2026)
SBB MobileEssential
Official nationwide journey planner and ticket app for Swiss trains, trams, buses, PostBus services and many boats.
Most tickets can be purchased in the app without registering by choosing the guest option; enter the passenger name and birth date exactly as on the ID carried for inspection. A valid ticket must be bought before the vehicle departs. EasyRide is convenient only after a SwissPass login and payment method are working: swipe before boarding, keep mobile data, location and sufficient battery available throughout the trip, then check out after the final vehicle. If any of those conditions are uncertain, buy a normal ticket instead.
A Swiss Travel Pass or Swiss Half Fare Card bought without a login or from another vendor cannot be imported into SBB Mobile, so retain the original PDF or other issued proof. The app can still plan trips when the pass itself is not displayed. Check each mountain railway, cable car or private excursion separately because a national pass does not make every attraction free. Save important tickets offline, allow realistic transfer time with luggage, and review disruption and platform information shortly before departure.
