Bequem
Aber was passiert, wenn alles besetzt ist?
Ich
Sooo unendlich viele Schritte, sooo doof
App naming
Why can’t you call the app something like parking, always difficult to find
Good App with many broken features
Convenient in many cases, but a lot of bugs that prevent reliable payments.
Twint
Funktioniert nicht 😖 Ich musste mit der Karte zahlen!
Good system!
Works well.
Viel zu teuer
abzocke
simple efficace
quelques petits bugs, n’hésitez pas à ressayer plusieurs fois. Sinon tout va bien
Unnötig
Wieso nicht da mitmachen wo alle anderen dabei sind
Why this is not part of the Sbb app?
It works, but it should be a separate app that I have to download (so I need to get my apple account password) just when I am about to jump on a train
Super einfache Parkapp
😀
Facilité pour se connecter
...
Comoda e Smart
L’applicazione è facile e intuitiva, non posso dare 5 stelle perché troppo spesso non funziona!
Geht’s komplizierter, um sich anzumelden?
Bedienerunfreundlich
Automat war schon einfacher
Hätte gern wieder die Möglichkeit ein Automat zu verwenden.
Great app
Great app
Improve location services
Improve location services - clearly label parking lots with correct parking names or use codes so people do not select wrong parking locations.
Works Well, But…
Why is SBB not supporting ParkMobile or ParkingPay or other excellent parking apps used all over Switzerland? Did we need another custom app?
Dauert Ewig
Jedesmal muss man alles neu einrichten und es dauert ewig bis der Bezahlborgang endlich funktioniert. Manchmal geht es trotzdem nicht. Sehr sehr mühsam.
Frais parking
Bonne application mais pourquoi prendre des frais de réservation de parking ?
Simple, easy, effective
Who would have thought that apps companies forced you to get would be great. It works, and it’s very simple. Great!
Not consumer friendly
I purchased a parking time for 3 hours. I came back after 1.5 hours and wanted to get the rest of my parking reimbursed. At that location parking is charged by the hour. So I was expecting to get 1 hour back. But unlike other parking apps, this one doesn’t allow that. C‘mon. Make it consumer friendly! So be aware that this app may rip you off!
Easy to use
Good but why is it not in the sbb app
Avarage
Not easy to chose the parking location.
Impossible de changer la carte visa
3 étoiles car impossible de changer la carte visa suite « erreur, revenez plus tard ». J’ai donc dû payer avec Apple Pay avec les frais inhérents à la transaction hors UE.
Very useful
An app that is useful and works.
Paiement limité
Malheureusement l’app P+Rail n’accepte pas les cartes AMEX - American Express. C’est dommage. Notons que les apps CFF SBB acceptent ces cartes sans problème.
QR code a developer
Bonjour, il serait intéressant de developer un QR code pour faciliter les contrôles de tickets.
Easy once set up
Difficult to register with numerous “system errors” and messages to “contact support” but once set up, it was so easy to use
Super easy
Makes travel easier
Won’t let you buy parking passes passes anymore
The app has now discontinued its main function: buying parking passes. Even on the website it says you can still easily buy them in the app but you can’t. How does that make sense?
Aufpassen bei Eingabe der Startzeit
- Falsche Startzeit (1 Tag später) erst auf der Rechnung bemerkt + Rückerstattungsmöglichkeit bis Start
Gets the job done efficiently
Once set up, the app is easy to use, especially compared to the particularly horrible parking meters at my station.
Card issue
Not accept international cards - couldn’t be worst right? Better do not offer the app in USA Apple Store
App ist gut
Noch besser wäre es aber , dass wenn man einen Parkplatz bucht und bezahlt, dann auch einen Parkplatz bekommt.
Cool
It works !!
Good app, poor implementation of concept
SBB need to prominently display the name of the parking area on the sign
Standort location fehlt, sonst gut
Standort location fehlt, sonst gut
Great app to Swiss railway parking
Love this app because it’s so easy to pay parking at Swiss railway stations.
No option to edit car plate due to wrong car plate selection
No option to edit car plate due to wrong car plate selection
Funktioniert
Die App tut, was die verspricht. Man kann eine P+Rail Platz auswählen und im Voraus reservieren. Die Bezahlung erfolgt mittels hinterlegter Kreditkartennummer. Einziger Nachteil: Leider kann man nicht alle P+Rail Plätze in der Stadt Zürich und Umgebung auswählen.
