About Commutelio

Commutelio was founded in 2021 by a small team of transport enthusiasts and software engineers who had spent years commuting across Switzerland and were frustrated by the gap between available tools and what daily travellers actually needed. The existing apps were built primarily for occasional tourists, not for people whose workday depends on hitting every connection exactly right. We set out to build something genuinely useful for the five-days-a-week commuter. Our team is based across Zurich, Bern, and Lausanne, which gives us direct, lived experience of the corridors and interchange points we help people navigate. Every feature we release is tested on real commutes before it goes live — we do not ship tools we would not use ourselves. We work with official transport data feeds rather than scraping, which means our information is both accurate and updated the moment operators push changes. Commutelio is fully independent and is not affiliated with SBB, PostBus, or any cantonal transport authority. That independence allows us to present options objectively, including when a regional train beats the intercity option or when a bus is faster than the route most people assume. We are funded through our subscription plans and do not carry advertising, which keeps our recommendations unbiased. Our mobility guides are produced in-house by writers who commute the routes they write about, and each guide is updated at least twice a year to reflect timetable revisions and infrastructure changes. We believe good public transport planning should be accessible, honest, and built around the actual texture of daily life in Switzerland.
