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 covers a part of the travelcard cost for its employees, the Arcobaleno integrated fare network grants a further discount (the reductions are cumulative). 

Company travelcard

A company travelcard is the ideal solution for companies who wish to cover the firm’s mobility requirements and those of its employees. If the company covers a part of the travelcard costs of at least 5 employees, the Arcobaleno integrated fare network (CTA) grants a further discount. The company amount has to be at least 15% and at most 85% while the CTA contributes 15%. 

Further information

  • The Arcobaleno company travelcard is an annual travelcard for 1st or 2nd class and is valid for the selected zones.
  • The company can limit its contribution to 2nd class only and to the zones required for the journey from home to work and back.
  • The contributions are calculated on the Arcobaleno annual travelcard prices.
  • Employees who already hold an Arcobaleno annual travelcard may purchase a company travelcard before their own expires provided they purchase a 1st class supplement and/or additional zones. 
  • There is no refund of the travelcard if a lower number of zones is required 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). 
  • For the fiscal aspects deriving from the Arcobaleno company travelcard, please refer to the instructions published on the Ticino Cantonal tax authority's website.
