Switzerland Guide
Getting around
The efficiency of the massively comprehensive Swiss public transport system remains one of the wonders of the modern world. It's hard to overstate just how good it is: you can get anywhere you want quickly, easily and relatively cheaply; everybody relies on it as a matter of course; and it's clean, safe and pleasant. Services always depart on the dot, and train timetables are well integrated with those of the postbuses, which operate on routes not covered by rail, including the more remote villages and valleys, as well as ferry services. Cyclists are well served by the Swiss instinct for encouraging green thinking in all things.
One point can't be stressed enough: Swiss people virtually never pay full fare on their own public transport systems, and you should follow suit by getting hoid of a Swiss travel pass. Almost universally accepted, unless you're planning to drive or cycle everywhere, you will definitely save money by travelling with one.
