FAQ Check-in ticket with FAIRTIQ
Where can I travel using the FAIRTIQ app?
The FAIRTIQ app allows you to travel within the RVF network area and across Baden-Württemberg. The app will automatically calculate the most favourable fare: The as-the-crow-flies fare is applicable on all services offered by Freiburg regional transport association (RVF), covering Freiburg, as well as the Emmendingen and Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald districts. You may also travel outside of these boundaries or use other Baden-Württemberg transport association services. You will always be paying the lowest possible price.
What is meant by the best price?
For a single journey booked with FAIRTIQ, you will always be paying the best price, which means that you will never pay more than the price of a single digital ticket (which includes an online discount) within the price category/fare zone.
When exactly do I have to start the app?
The FAIRTIQ app must be activated before each journey, and the ticket must be bought via your smartphone before boarding a train, tram or bus (“check-in”) before boarding. Any tickets purchased after boarding will not be valid, you will be considered to be travelling without a ticket. This will lead to a increased fare being payable in accordance with Section 9 of the Conditions of Transport.
What about transfers, return journeys and round trips?
Once you have checked in, you can change your means of transport as often as you like, as long as you are travelling in one direction within the RVF network area. If you interrupt your journey for longer than 45 minutes, the app will automatically calculate a new trip, i.e. a new ticket. For return journeys and round trips, the app will also calculate a new ticket from the furthest point of boarding.
Can I add another person?
The FAIRTIQ app allows you to purchase tickets for another person. You have to enter the name and date of birth of the person accompanying you.
How does the day cap work?
Next to the lowest fare for single tickets, RVF offers a day cap fare for people taking several trips a day. Irrespective of the number of trips, the maximum fare based on distance (up to 10 / in excess of 10 km) will not be exceeded. This is counted from the first check-in of the day until 3 a.m. the following morning.
Day cap adults
- up to 10 km / day: € 6.53
- more than 10 km / day: 13,06 €
What if I don’t have mobile phone service?
GPS location services are always available. This is why not having mobile phone service for a while is not a problem. Please make sure that location tracking is always active while using the app.
What happens if I forget to swipe Stop?
If you forget to check out, your ticket will be valid until 3 a.m. of the following morning, no matter whether it is a weekday or a holiday. The app will also send you a check-out warning message to remind you to check out. You can also use the Smart Stop function, which automatically recognises if you are no longer travelling on public transport. Activating the Smart Stop function in the app will automatically check you out.
Who will help me if I have questions or problems?
The app itself has a support function. To use it, go to menu > contact. You may also use the FAIRTIQ online help center.
