Every journey matters

The journey to work. To school. To training. To the people who matter to you. Some journeys are long; others take only a few minutes. Some are planned weeks ahead, while others are such a natural part of your day that you barely give them a second thought.

Every time you choose a train, tram or bus, you help shape mobility. You move through Switzerland, share infrastructure with others and make a more sustainable way of travelling part of everyday life. Yet what you contribute often remains invisible. The journey ends, and your choice receives little more than a quiet thank you.

We believe it deserves more.

Why we created Ridewize

Matthias Grob and Lars Mäder founded Ridewize in Switzerland in 2025. Their idea was simple: people who make sustainable choices in their daily lives should be able to see their progress and receive genuine recognition for it.

Ridewize turns a good choice into something you can see. With your permission, the app recognises possible public-transport journeys. Journeys become points that you can exchange for selected rewards from our partners. Ridewize shows how your journeys add up and what you have already achieved through them.

Not every journey changes the world on its own. But none of them is meaningless.

We believe in the power of repetition

Change rarely begins with one grand gesture. It grows from the choices we make again and again. One journey today. Another tomorrow. A habit that lasts.

That is why we want to make progress visible. Not to turn mobility into a competition, but to show that your everyday actions count. What we can see can motivate us. What motivates us can grow.

Rewards are recognition

Points and benefits are not the only reason to take public transport. But they are a tangible way to say: this matters. They give your progress a visible form and offer a little extra momentum for the next journey.

A reward should feel genuinely rewarding. That is why we want to work with regional businesses and international brands that offer real value. To us, a partnership is worthwhile when it serves the people who make Ridewize possible with every journey.

Trust travels with you

Technology should make everyday life easier, not needlessly complicated. We therefore want Ridewize to be simple, transparent and responsible. Your permission matters. Your journeys stay private. And you should be able to understand how a verified journey becomes progress, and how progress becomes a reward.

Our journey begins here

Switzerland is our home and our starting point: a country where public transport connects people, regions and opportunities. This is where we want to show what becomes possible when sustainable mobility does more than work well – when it feels rewarding too.

Ridewize belongs to everyone who is on the move. Everyone who steps aboard today, returns tomorrow and sets something in motion with every journey.

Join us. Reward yourself with every ride.
