The Swiss trains are known for their punctuality and their cleanliness. The Swiss love their public system network, with which probably every village in the country can be accessed.

For a few decades the double decker trains have helped in coping with the streams of commuters during the daily rush hour.

More than 10,000 trains run on the network every day, together with the Alpine railroads, which are attractive to tourists. All of this contributes to the image of Switzerland as a railroad country.

The Swiss rail network is considered the best in Europe in terms of passengers transported, punctuality, kilometers travelled per passenger and low number of accidents. At the same time it is one of the most expensive in the world.
