Hello everybody Swiss-Guy here In Switzerland people from the government also get 1. class tickets to trains. It happened to me, and lots of friends, that i saw people from the parliament and even one of the president's of Switzerland reading a book in the Train.... By himself and without any security personnel. Something you couldn't imagine in other countries 😅
back in the 00s, i sat next to the SP-president. he had to sit into 2nd class for some reason, shook of fear and tried to hide behind his suitcase as best as possible - not exagergating; he grew paler by the second after people recognised him....
This sort of videos makes me to love my country over and over. Sometimes you just think that your country sucks the way it is. But I'm really realising from time to time that I have nothing to complain. At all! 🇨🇭
i work for the swiss train company. this infrastructure is only possible through government support. The fact that we have alternative routes almost everywhere is what i like most. If there is a technical problem with a track, everyone can still reach the destination in reasonable time. if there is a bigger problem, we organise a bus service.
The support is necessary because the competition by private car is too cheap. And because if no public transport, the effect would be more costly than the support. Most people don't understand that.
FYI: 1. Swiss city buses are usually on a 7.5 minute/schedule (or 8 departures per hour) - of course: these local connections are fully integrated with the national train system! 2. Several Swiss presidents and most members of parliament use(d) Swiss trains.
15:50 The Bus service provided by PostAuto is fully integrated in the system. It is a subsidiary of the Swiss Post (the national mail service) and connects to all the villages without a railway. (In some places the buses also transport the mail respectively have an integrated letter box.)
Hello Swiss guy here, 2:19 those aren‘t graffitis. This are mostly on Interregion Trains(IR) and in this specific wagon there is a playground. Mostly on top.
2:25 Hi, this is not graffiti, but a special paint job that identifies a Family Coach. Inside, there's a beautifully designed play area for children. 3:18 Zurich's population is just over 400,000 and not 1.3 million people. 4:00 Zürich: ~440.000; Genf: ~205.000; Basel: ~180.000; Lausanne: ~140.000; Bern: ~134.000 16:10 This is why a delayed ICE train from Germany is not allowed to continue into Switzerland and is stopped in Basel to keep train traffic in Switzerland stable.
There was a bit of beef between Germany and Switzerland regarding the connections and southern germany trains in general. In 23/24 (not sure which year it was exactly) there was a strike of the train-workers in germany. The SBB (The Swiss train provider) has a german branch (which i found out just then) and decided to kinda take over the southern part of the Train service, mostly just the part where people regularly travel to and fro Switzerland to work. I'm not sure if it was just for the time of the strike or if they took it over permanently, but alot of the Germans where VERY upset, claiming that Switzerland isn't supporting them. On one side, i can understand the angry people, because it was not a subtle move, on the other hand, we don't really want to be dragged down by another countries issues either. And we have alot of 'Grenzgänger', meaning workers from just over the border and just having them not come because the trains aren't running, would mean, the Swiss economy and more notably the medical services would be suffering too. And yes, the part about Basel was kinda funny for us Swiss, but not really surprising. We were more surprised the SBB put up with that for so long.
Fun fact : I saw Pascal Couchepin, who's an ancien president, in the same train as me. Also, Alain Berset, same job, in trains too. I don't think we can see this anywhere else
Another nice fact not mentioned: the lost and found in the trains is great. I lost a cellphone on a train twice in my life, and both times it was found and returned to me.
At large train stations in Switzerland you sometimes get free drinks (or other things) because companies want to advertise new products. On hot days, that's nice. 😉 When I was a trainee many years ago, I once handed out free drinks for a company.
Everything is connected here. Not only trains also bus, trams and also ships. Everything is connected👍🏼. But the important is, you have the choice. Car or trains😄
That guy riding the escalator on his wheelchair did it by choice because 15 meters further down the platform there is a lift and if that one is out of order then there are two more lifts on that platform.
I look your vids as a Swiss and I rly would love to welcome u to Switzerland one day! I work for the SBB and yh, it's also for me incredible how the SBB and all other companies connected to managed to get the on time connections work.
I live in canton Ticino in switzerland... and i must highlight what you said about delays due to problems with the border countries... when i take the train in the morning in the station in Locarno no delays at all... but when i go back in the evening from Lugano to Locarno there are much more delays and problems because the trains are coming from Italy... which has a very inefficient service in public trains. Nice video man. Keep on pushing
That's the kids' section of the train, each one has one and it's easy to spot from the outside with the cartoon characters. Inside they are amazing. Some trains have actual playgrounds, or board game stickers on the tables.
A lot of the railroad track land was purchased like 100ish years ago, when lakes and rivers still flooded nearby terrain regularely, so the land was cheap since no one wanted to build on prone to get swamped and mosquito infested areas. Hence today, with damms and rivers controlled, the national railroad grid has a ton of super beautiful tracks running right along lakes, often through areas of wealthy people and their mansions. And the tracks going through the alps, well the old ones that take longer because they climb up and down the slopes, offer breathtaking views. And if you just want to go from point A to B afap, there's the long tunnels going straight into the south, allowing Zürich to Milano in Italy in 2-3hrs.
A lot of people take the train to/from school/ work and it's not unusual to see politicians and high ranking army personnel at the train station. I once even sat opposite of a Lt Gen on my way to university.
i am now +45 years on this earth - i never had a car - i always use the public transportation. now you know how i feel to see americans take always the car for 10min ride for shopping or so :)
Our public transports are really the best. We are proud about the punctuality and (mostely) the cleanliness. Thx for the uploads about "my" County. Stay safe all outthere!
City Buses only every hour. Thats truly different. I live in switzerland and i used to take Buses or Trains to jobschool (A School you go while learning a Profession, that teaches you the theoretical part of the Profession you are learning). Already some years ago, the city Buses in Biel (City in Switzerland) came every 5 minutes on the more used routes. At max every 15 Minutes for the less used routes. Suburbs could be a bit longer wait times, but even there it's half an hour max. Trains to Biel were every hour from the smalltown i used to change from Bus to Train and if you missed that, an other Bus also made the connection every hour, just on the half hours not on the full ones like the train. So either way, i had a connection every 30mins either by bus or by train.
In my morning routine to the city, my Swiss bus driver always has the time to fight with some cyclists on the way and still make it in time to my train.
Im swiss and when i was younger me and my friends sometimes on cold nights did a “zug vor glühe” just get some beers to the train and drink before the club😅 was very fun🥳
12:40 f.e. I got to pay 380 CHF a year and my workplace will pay the rest for "Ostwind", which means I can travel in all of northeastern switzerland (train, bus, tram etc.) without having to worry about a ticket.
Swiss guy here thst never owned a car, but had the possibility to use company cars also in spare time. When it comes to train journeys, the sweetspot must be between 2.5 to 5 hours journeys. If it's shorter distances in suburbs, the stops are frequent, slowing the train down. So you're often faster by car or maybe even bike. It's longer distances than 5 hours, the direct line and speed of planes is a massive advantage. But if you can choose between a highspeed train or a 1.5h flight + security, getting to and from the airport etc.- take the train! I personally live in a bigger city and work in a town nearby. Due to the direct connection i lose not even 5 min on 25min commute compared to the car. And the yearly, nationwide train ticket is cheaper than any car...
Yeah our trains are great. I especially love how regularly our trains come. If you know your train leaves at 5 past, you can be pretty sure that there will be a train at five past. No matter if it is 12:05 or 18:05 (there are some exceptions to that, as there sometimes are extra trains during rush hour and some other things, but that is generally how it is). This regular time table is something I really miss in many other countries. Also it really is great how quite small places get regular trains. I used to live in a 8000 inhabitant municipality with 5 train stations and two to four trains an hour (to be fair, it was a small and slow almost tram-like train, but still I don‘t think many other countries would have such a good train connection to such a village). Now I live in a 14000 inhabitant city connected to Zurich with four to six trains an hour.
If a train is late and you miss the connection, you can go to the trainstation and they give you a document, that it was their fault and not yours. Like that, we can provide proof in school or at the workplace if we are late because of late trains.
Another reason for trains running a bit late in Switzerland could be something like this: ruclips.net/video/FvmIOuzCSPs/видео.html 😃 (An event in the Luzern railway station.)
The fact that 60 to 80% still don't use public transport shows how ignorant most are. While monthly regional tickets cost only 80 to 200 $. And 95% live within 5 minutes walk from the next bus, tramway or train station. Interesting that many ship and cablecar lines are included in ticket passes. Most tourists are drawn to payable lines.
Everything fine here in Swiss exept the trains and public transport in canton Ticino, there somehow it's basically Italy but with 3 times the prices for no reason. If you don't know, public transports in Italy suck.

Uhm, does density make for a better rail service? Swiss trains havve sky-high punctuality, extreme regularity and integrated-time tabelling/schedule. Dunno just asking.
I mean you are just counting up different train models and routes? This doesn't provide any info about the train network. Hardly believe the Czechs have the punctiality and extensiveness of rails as the swiss. If it is please provide info and not just different train/rides
You failed to mention how horribly unsafe Czech trains are. They've had much more disastrous crashes in the last 20 years, compared to other rail systems.
@@Neptune._. This rolling stock is completly replaced by brand new rolling stock in all regions - equipped both by upgrated national safety system and by ETCS!!! Only in 2024 ČD lanched 144 brand new train units (not coaches - units!) both electric, diesel with latest Rols-Royce engins, and Battery-electric dual units. In 2025 its planned to launch another 78 units by ČD and 7 units by RegioJet, another 20 electric units by RegioJet, in 2026 by ČD only in Hradec Králove region another 33 units... Most of the crashes had happned in totally non important village-to-village lines on the railway crossings equipped by flashing light only... But on the other hand idiots are every where - often done by foreigh drivers.. It can happen in any country including Swizerland. In case of important lines and corridors - there has been enormous huge investment in closing common railway crossings and constructing bridges and underpasses instead! Czech republic is a very dynamic country - that is living railway revolution last upto 10 years. I am just bwondering how you can compare things that are 20 years old, 15 years old, 10 years old and even 5 yaers old - even 5 years old things is far-far old history!!!! Important is the current situation and the enormous huge progress!!! - not 20 years old data that say nothing to current situation. COME AND TAKE A LOOK AND YOU WILL SEE THE RAILWAY TIGER! YOU WILL BE REALLY SURPRISED! But in case of you I can see that its more easy for you just to sit on back and doing nothing - and just write dehonestations! I personally would recommend you to RAVEL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to see the reality! I have been to 56 countries around the world - including all europeand countries, I am 42 now, and I can really compare. And what I can say according to my personal experience - Swiss railways - trains, railway stations, raiway buildings IS NOETHING TO REALLY ADMIRE from the point of wiev of common Czech citizen - WE SIMPLY HAVE BETTER and we continuously have neen working on having it more and more better.... some statistics: number of railway stations and stops-------2867 (its really a lot) total track lengt ----------------------------------------9349 km -of that doubletrack ----------------------------------2005 km only - increasing every year-doubletrackin -of that single track ---------------------------------- 7279 km -of that 3-and more track----------------------------65 km GREETINGS FROM PRAGUE
But you have to know that public transportations in Switzerland are veery veeeeeery expensive in comparison with other countries, even for swiss like me. Greatings from Switzerland!
@@YvesSandro well maybe if you earn 4000 otherwise no for most employees it shouldn't be expensive. 4000 a year is 333 a month. Median salary for full time is 6788. 333 is cheaper than a car and way cheaper if you don't own the car
all this guy does is watch videos and make gulliable comments...and once your here you will really feel how expensive it is- look up how much a train ticket costs from Bern to Zurich round trip.. here I will tell you. 53- swiss francs round trip- in u.s. dollars $ 58.51, it's a little over an hour each way...
👍👍👍👍👍👍The Best trains in Europe are spanish, the best new high-speed rail routes in the world, are China and Spanish the second!! With close to 4000 kilometres of track, the Spanish high-speed AVE trains operate on the longest high-speed network in Europe. Running at speeds of up to 310 km/h, this extensive network allows for fast connections between cities in Spain. Travel from Madrid to Barcelona in less than 3 hours! This modern train system connects many cities across Spain from Madrid and Barcelona, to Córdoba, Seville, Málaga, León, and Valencia, and so on.
14:08 being rich is based on profits you make from not paying workers what they produce.. rich guys are the reason for poor guys, we shouldnt romanticise that as they were doing anything good
@ okay boomer, go work your third job at minimum wage to afford life, or are you one of these bosses making a killing from putting your fellow americans in that position? In the capitalist mindset its the most normal thing to exploit your workers, because thats how profits are made in the first place. And people like you still believe their point of view comes from a place of being a good person while defending a system that has put 700000 of your people on the streets in tents if they‘re lucky.. doing propaganda for bezoz, musk and all of these leeches sucking the life out of americans by raising prices and lowering wages, squeezing the last bit out of you.. not to start with how your for-profit healthcare system is designed to f*ck over the people who get treatment and those who work there all while paying for an overpriced insurace that is going to do and say everything they can to not cover your bills and let you go bankrupt.. but hey, at least you got rich people which is a good thing right? Stop cucking yourself In case you are not an american: why even defend that shit?
I highly recommend this video about Swiss Money. The Design philosophy is definitely something that stands out compared to other currencies and is worth a look. ruclips.net/video/PdW63lP-yI8/видео.htmlsi=ftsvjVsPVSF03gHa

That’s so cool
Hello everybody Swiss-Guy here
In Switzerland people from the government also get 1. class tickets to trains. It happened to me, and lots of friends, that i saw people from the parliament and even one of the president's of Switzerland reading a book in the Train....
By himself and without any security personnel.
Something you couldn't imagine in other countries 😅
Not just people from the government. A friend of mine works for the SOB and gets a 1 class Ga😁
back in the 00s, i sat next to the SP-president. he had to sit into 2nd class for some reason, shook of fear and tried to hide behind his suitcase as best as possible - not exagergating; he grew paler by the second after people recognised him....
One nice fact not mentioned here: Zürich main station is used by about 400'000 people per day, in a region with 1'300'000 people.
This sort of videos makes me to love my country over and over.
Sometimes you just think that your country sucks the way it is. But I'm really realising from time to time that I have nothing to complain. At all!
🇨🇭
Your country is doing it right
Genau das hani oh dänkt.. Eifach mau wider dra dänke das mers so guet hei hie.. Merci
2:14 When you see printed-on art on the side of train cars in Switzerland it’s a sign that there’s a dedicated children’s section in that car.
i work for the swiss train company. this infrastructure is only possible through government support. The fact that we have alternative routes almost everywhere is what i like most. If there is a technical problem with a track, everyone can still reach the destination in reasonable time. if there is a bigger problem, we organise a bus service.
Well not between Geneva and Lausanne
The support is necessary because the competition by private car is too cheap. And because if no public transport, the effect would be more costly than the support. Most people don't understand that.

16:10 This is why a delayed ICE train from Germany is not allowed to continue into Switzerland and is stopped in Basel to keep train traffic in Switzerland stable.
With urban sprawl it’s 1.3M. He even noted that on the graphs in the video.
1.3 is the whole canton of zurich @@creativeembargo

Switzerland has actually stopped German trains coming in our country because they are always late
As a swizer i can tell those trains are realy nice but allso EXPENSIVE
Dude in august u can drive everywhere....and everywhere are lakes or rivers to swimm!❤ summer in switzerland is very underrated😊
I live here the lakes are still cold 22 grad- max. it ain't Miami...
Everything is connected here. Not only trains also bus, trams and also ships. Everything is connected👍🏼. But the important is, you have the choice. Car or trains😄
Phew that’s noce

Not grafitty on the train. It's a big sticker put there by the rail company to signal that thus is a family wagon where children can play.
As a swiss, I’m pretty impressed by Bangkok public transport. Feels like (my old) home
12:40 f.e. I got to pay 380 CHF a year and my workplace will pay the rest for "Ostwind", which means I can travel in all of northeastern switzerland (train, bus, tram etc.) without having to worry about a ticket.
In my tiny village of 1,500 people, in few years, we will have trains every 15 minutes. And the train serves small villages to a small city.
I liebe eifach d schwiz :))

Now I live in a 14000 inhabitant city connected to Zurich with four to six trains an hour.
Some trains are just average. But depending on time and location you get _postcard perspective._
I live in Switzerland and i recommend a video about Swiss Bankers.
Have you ever been to Switzerland?
If a train is late and you miss the connection, you can go to the trainstation and they give you a document, that it was their fault and not yours. Like that, we can provide proof in school or at the workplace if we are late because of late trains.

Everything fine here in Swiss exept the trains and public transport in canton Ticino, there somehow it's basically Italy but with 3 times the prices for no reason.
If you don't know, public transports in Italy suck.
Ich kann mich erinnern... ich hab das zeug von friends als kind schon ultra langweilig gefunden.....

Hello CZECH guy here - confirming that Swiss trains are NOT best in Europe at all !!!

Uhm, does density make for a better rail service? Swiss trains havve sky-high punctuality, extreme regularity and integrated-time tabelling/schedule. Dunno just asking.
Actually no since a few years swiss railways are the densest in the world
I mean you are just counting up different train models and routes? This doesn't provide any info about the train network. Hardly believe the Czechs have the punctiality and extensiveness of rails as the swiss. If it is please provide info and not just different train/rides
You failed to mention how horribly unsafe Czech trains are. They've had much more disastrous crashes in the last 20 years, compared to other rail systems.
@@Neptune._. This rolling stock is completly replaced by brand new rolling stock in all regions - equipped both by upgrated national safety system and by ETCS!!! Only in 2024 ČD lanched 144 brand new train units (not coaches - units!) both electric, diesel with latest Rols-Royce engins, and Battery-electric dual units. In 2025 its planned to launch another 78 units by ČD and 7 units by RegioJet, another 20 electric units by RegioJet, in 2026 by ČD only in Hradec Králove region another 33 units...
Most of the crashes had happned in totally non important village-to-village lines on the railway crossings equipped by flashing light only... But on the other hand idiots are every where - often done by foreigh drivers.. It can happen in any country including Swizerland. In case of important lines and corridors - there has been enormous huge investment in closing common railway crossings and constructing bridges and underpasses instead!
Czech republic is a very dynamic country - that is living railway revolution last upto 10 years. I am just bwondering how you can compare things that are 20 years old, 15 years old, 10 years old and even 5 yaers old - even 5 years old things is far-far old history!!!! Important is the current situation and the enormous huge progress!!! - not 20 years old data that say nothing to current situation. COME AND TAKE A LOOK AND YOU WILL SEE THE RAILWAY TIGER!
YOU WILL BE REALLY SURPRISED!
But in case of you I can see that its more easy for you just to sit on back and doing nothing - and just write dehonestations! I personally would recommend you to RAVEL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to see the reality! I have been to 56 countries around the world - including all europeand countries, I am 42 now, and I can really compare. And what I can say according to my personal experience - Swiss railways - trains, railway stations, raiway buildings IS NOETHING TO REALLY ADMIRE from the point of wiev of common Czech citizen - WE SIMPLY HAVE BETTER and we continuously have neen working on having it more and more better....
some statistics:
number of railway stations and stops-------2867 (its really a lot)
total track lengt ----------------------------------------9349 km
-of that doubletrack ----------------------------------2005 km only - increasing every year-doubletrackin
-of that single track ---------------------------------- 7279 km
-of that 3-and more track----------------------------65 km
GREETINGS FROM PRAGUE
I love the view when you enter Bern with this train: ruclips.net/user/shortsJ0a1NEsfDmk
But you have to know that public transportations in Switzerland are veery veeeeeery expensive in comparison with other countries, even for swiss like me.
Greatings from Switzerland!
If you have a general subscription its not expensive
@WIISTERIAAAAAAA that's true but the general subscription itself is expensive as hell...
@@YvesSandro well maybe if you earn 4000 otherwise no for most employees it shouldn't be expensive. 4000 a year is 333 a month. Median salary for full time is 6788. 333 is cheaper than a car and way cheaper if you don't own the car
@WIISTERIAAAAAAA Even if I work in Switzerland it is still expemsive for me to spend 4'000 sFr a year🙈🙈🙈
@@YvesSandro how much you earn?
all this guy does is watch videos and make gulliable comments...and once your here you will really feel how expensive it is- look up how much a train ticket costs from Bern to Zurich round trip.. here I will tell you. 53- swiss francs round trip- in u.s. dollars $ 58.51, it's a little over an hour each way...
You can take any tram, bus or train in Switzerland for 4000 a year. Cheaper than a car and it's only 333 a month
And all you do is post whin after whin..... You could just stop watching if is such a torture.
Almost every one has a half fare card and a GA is cheaper than a car per year so please stay quit if you're so uneducated
hört auf mit diesen langen und lästigen videos, es bringt nichts!!!!
hört auf mit diesen lästigen videos, es bringt nichts!!!! es ist einfach zu lange und lästig
👍👍👍👍👍👍The Best trains in Europe are spanish, the best new high-speed rail routes in the world, are China and Spanish the second!! With close to 4000 kilometres of track, the Spanish high-speed AVE trains operate on the longest high-speed network in Europe. Running at speeds of up to 310 km/h, this extensive network allows for fast connections between cities in Spain. Travel from Madrid to Barcelona in less than 3 hours! This modern train system connects many cities across Spain from Madrid and Barcelona, to Córdoba, Seville, Málaga, León, and Valencia, and so on.
But Spain is mostly covered in mountains. Our trains connect small villages far in some valleys with frequent and punctual trains
Speed doesn't matter if most of the country doesn't have regular and good connected service. Public transport isn't a competition.
I lived in Switzerland, and it is very boring.... with people whom are basically stiff- believe it.
Projection, much?
14:08 being rich is based on profits you make from not paying workers what they produce.. rich guys are the reason for poor guys, we shouldnt romanticise that as they were doing anything good
Put away your little soap box dearie, you completely missed the point.
@ okay boomer, go work your third job at minimum wage to afford life, or are you one of these bosses making a killing from putting your fellow americans in that position? In the capitalist mindset its the most normal thing to exploit your workers, because thats how profits are made in the first place. And people like you still believe their point of view comes from a place of being a good person while defending a system that has put 700000 of your people on the streets in tents if they‘re lucky.. doing propaganda for bezoz, musk and all of these leeches sucking the life out of americans by raising prices and lowering wages, squeezing the last bit out of you.. not to start with how your for-profit healthcare system is designed to f*ck over the people who get treatment and those who work there all while paying for an overpriced insurace that is going to do and say everything they can to not cover your bills and let you go bankrupt.. but hey, at least you got rich people which is a good thing right? Stop cucking yourself
In case you are not an american: why even defend that shit?
I highly recommend this video about Swiss Money. The Design philosophy is definitely something that stands out compared to other currencies and is worth a look.

everything is terrible there in comparison too Switzerland. He just say🥲
As a Swiss person, I disagree completely, and it’s Zürich’s fault.
