Berta Caminada is a retired resident from Bonaduz, Switzerland, who gained regional prominence for her advocacy against the digital-only ticketing system for public transport, particularly in the Graubünden region. She argues that the shift towards electronic payments discriminates against individuals uncomfortable with digital technology. In June, she launched a cantonal initiative demanding that cash payments be accepted for all publicly funded services, asserting that many citizens are being marginalized by the move towards digital transactions. Her efforts have garnered attention, leading to her being awarded the 'Prix Résistance' by the national Swiss People's Party for her commitment to preserving access to cash payments in public services.
