Switzerland

Buses
The main Swiss cities boast efficient public transportation, with trams and buses forming the core of the urban network. A single short journey ticket costs around CHF 2.60 and is usually only valid for an hour. Depending on the travel required, it may be more economical to purchase a day pass for about CHF 8, a monthly pass or a prepaid discount card.
Trains
Switzerland has over 5,000 km of railroad track, of which about 60 percent is owned and operated by Switzerland’s government-run transport provider (Schweizerische Bundesbahn or SBB in German, Chemins de Fer Fédéraux or CFF in French, and Ferrovie Federali Svizzere or FFS in Italian). Major cities are connected by InterCity trains, which run at least once every hour throughout the week. Switzerland does not have its own high-speed railway line, but foreign high-speed trains such as the French TGV and the German ICE run throughout Switzerland on a daily basis. Restaurants tend to be a standard facility on the main InterCity connections and international trains.
Other forms of transportationOther forms of transportation are also readily available. Ferryboats operate on all main lakes and it is also possible to rent bikes at most train stations. The only underground system in Switzerland was introduced in 2008 in the town of Lausanne. As is the case across Europe, taxis are readily available in the centres of all cities, but can be expensive. The cost often doubles after 22.00, thus it is advisable to ask the price beforehand.
