FAIRTIQ LUFTLINIE - calculates simply in a straight line.
Another measure of the STADTLand+ model project was launched - the introduction of an eTariff.
You may already be familiar with the FAIRTIQ app - our free BestPrice app for Halle's fare zone 210. HAVAG started with a new sister app of FAIRTIQ, the FAIRTIQ LUFTLINIE for a first test phase.
FAIRTIQ LUFTLINIE (found in the stores under "FTQ Lab") only calculates the kilometres as the crow flies between the stops in Halle. The basic fee for the FAIRTIQ LUFTLINIE is € 1.50 (from 01.01.2025: EUR 1.70). Each kilometre started will then only be charged at 15 cents (from 01.01.2025: 21 cents).

Until 31 December 2024, the tariff result of the tariff calculator will be calculated using the current price parameters).
