SBB Preview – always be the first to test the latest features.

In the SBB Preview app, with the help of our customers, we test new and innovative features that we would like to introduce in the SBB Mobile app. Around 250,000 Preview customers help us out with this every day.

On Board Information is your trusty travel companion.

Let the On Board Information function – or OBI for short – accompany you in real time. Alongside relevant information about your current journey, it also provides you with a whole range of innovative functions. On Board Information is available to you exclusively as an SBB Preview user.
