Zurich and public transportation


Zurich is a city that knows how to organise public transportation. There are still many traffic jams, but at least much more people use the public transport means, subway, tram, bus or trolleybus. Public transportation is not just for those who can't afford a car. It runs like a swiss clockwork. It is easy, self-explaining, clean, fast and timely. You arrive in Zurich as a total stranger and you are capable of taking the tramway to the place you need to be. Try the same in many other countries.


The Swiss show that it is possible to do better. Why can't we go there and learn from them? It would be an investment with excellent return.
