How Does the Check-in Ticket Work?

- Installation: Download the ZVV app and link it to your SwissPass (existing travelcards are recognised).
- Before Boarding: Tap the “Check-in Ticket” function. Select the desired class and swipe the slider to the right to check in. A green checkmark indicates that you have checked in.
- After disembarking: Slide the slider to the left to check out.
With the ZVV app, you can buy personal, non-transferable ZVV and Z-Pass tickets, as well as tickets for all other transport networks in Switzerland and tickets from the National Direct Service (NDV). All ZVV and Z-Pass tickets (except ZVV zone upgrades) are also available as multi-journey tickets, which can be used up to six times and are up to 10% cheaper than single tickets.
Yes, you can purchase up to nine tickets of the same type in one transaction or validate a multi-journey ticket for more than one passenger, including dogs and bicycles. For groups of ten or more, group tickets can be purchased online via the zvv.ch ticket shop or at the ticket counter. Please note that your companions (including dogs and bicycles) must travel with you at all times, otherwise they will be travelling without a valid ticket.
You can use the ZVV app to buy all personal ZVV and Z-Pass Travelcards. You need a valid SwissPass to buy Travelcards.
Yes, you will see your existing Travelcard if you have linked your SwissPass with the app. Click on ‘Renew’ to renew your travelcard in just a few steps.
During an inspection, simply open the ZVV app on your phone and show the inspector the digital SwissPass, which you can open by clicking on the QR code icon at the bottom right of the home page. Thanks to SwissPass Mobile, the public transport services included in the SwissPass can also be presented with a digital device (a mobile phone with the latest Android or iOS operating system). To activate SwissPass Mobile for the inspection, you must first log in to your SwissPass account.
Of course you can still simply present your physical SwissPass card to an inspector.
