  FAIRTIQ is an innovative mobile ticketing system that makes traveling on public transport easier than ever before. The app allows users to easily check-in and check-out instead of buying a ticket from the driver, at a TVM or a booking office, with all the hassle that that involves. At the end of their journey, users are charged the lowest possible price for the actual journey undertaken - whether it is single or multi-leg, or involving more than one operator.
