iPhone tickets for Swiss rail travel available 6 July 2009

Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Swiss rail company CFF has started to sell train tickets via iPhones. The company’s mobile phone sales service was opened in February 2009, but until 6 July has worked only for phones equipped with Java. There is no supplement for tickets bought via iPhone, although users will be billed by their phone companies for downloading the ticket and other information such as train schedules. The tickets are paid for by credit card.

The new service includes ticketing, schedules, real-time information about train times and traffic. Clients who are already registered with the CFF’s Ticket Shop can download the programme in the iTunes App store. New clients will need to register with the Ticket Shop.

Details and registration: www.cff.ch/ticketshop.
