More than a parking meter. Who said that trains and cars can’t be friends? With P+Rail, these two modes of transport can be combined with ease. With the SBB P+Rail app, you can pay for your parking quickly and cashfree. The P+Rail app unifies SBB P+Rail parking spaces with those of ten partner railways (BLS, RhB, RBS, TPF, SOB, MGB, OeBB, AB, AVA and Zentralbahn). And here’s why the SBB P+Rail app is so simple and fast: The app always knows exactly where your nearest parking space is, so you don’t need to go to the information board. Extra information about the parking spaces is displayed for each location, such as the number of electric car charging stations or important restrictions. If you make a mistake while booking, you can easily cancel your parking payment independently within the first few minutes. You can access an overview of your active, expired and refunded parking tickets. You can store several number plates and save your personal favourite locations in the quick selection view. Already using the SBB Mobile app for searching the timetable or purchasing tickets? You can use your SwissPass login for the SBB P+Rail app too. In future, you will be able to use your stored payment methods in both apps – wherever and whenever you are on the move. Make sure you have a spot: there is a binding reservation option for 30 busy locations – find it easily in the app menu. Find out for yourself!
