Company travelcard

The Arcobaleno company travelcard is an annual travelcard that enables employees of associated companies to purchase a travelcard at a reduced price. If the company assumes part of the travelcard cost for their employees, the Arcobaleno integrated fare network grants a further discount (the reductions are cumulative).

A company travelcard is the ideal solution for companies who wish to cover the firm’s own mobility requirements and those of their employees. If the company assumes part of the travelcard costs for at least 5 employees, the Arcobaleno integrated fare network (CTA) grants a further discount. The company amounts has to be at least 5%. The contribution from the integrated fare network is a maximum of 15%.

With a company discount of 5%, the Arcobaleno integrated fare network grants the same discount on all purchased travelcards for employees in the same company. They therefore enjoy a reduction of 10%.

Zone and time system

To make it easier to use public transport, the Arcobaleno integrated fare network utilises a zone and time system. This means that all modes of transport such as buses, trains, boats and funiculars can be used within the selected zones and validity period of the ticket. There are no time restrictions for weekly, monthly and annual travelcards.

Further information

The Arcobaleno company travelcard is an annual travelcard for 1st or 2nd class and is valid for the zones selected. The company can limit their contribution to 2nd class and to the zones included in the journey to work.

Employees who already hold an annual travelcard from Arcobaleno can purchase a company travelcard before their own travelcard expires, provided they purchase a supplement for 1st class and/or additional zones.

Further information

The employer’s contribution to the employee’s company travelcard is not part of their salary and does not have to be declared. Besides this, it is not necessary to give details on the pay advice under the letter “F”.
There is no refund of the travelcard if there is a lower number of zones for the same route when buying a new travelcard as a result of a change in the zone map (extract from tariff CTA 651.17).
Since 1.1.2020, Arcobaleno company travelcards have been loaded on the SwissPass.

Where to Buy

The interested company contacts the CTA, which will refer the request to the company mobility consultant who will explain in detail all the advantages for the company and the employees. The company will support the employees in the preparation of the application form and in the forwarding of the documentation to the issuing office.
