Keep an eye on your public transport usage. With myJourney, you always have your automatic public transport logbook with you. Use the calendar to see where you traveled on which public transport on which day. The map gives you an overview for each day. Using personal statistics, you can find out which means of public transport you use the fastest and which you have used most frequently in the last month. You also help us to correctly allocate the revenue from flat-rate tickets such as the GA travelcard or the day pass to the transport companies. The Alliance SwissPass office, managed by the ch-integral association, fulfils the legal mandate under the Swiss Passenger Transport Act to collect travel data for the correct distribution of revenue.
