Vor ein paar Wochen waren die Leute in diesem Subreddit schockiert darüber, dass TrenItalia als besseres Eisenbahnunternehmen als die SBB galt. Dann überprüfte die NGO Transport and Environment ihr Ranking und stellte fest, dass der von der SBB angegebene Preis den halben Fahrpreis beinhaltet, was bedeutet, dass die SBB viel teurer sind (drittletzter, nur vor Eurostar und GWR, einer der britischen Privatbahnen). Dennoch glänzen die SBB mit Zuverlässigkeit und Buchungserlebnis.
Die Ergebnisse liegen nun vor und die SBB liegen hinter der SNCF auf dem 11. Platz.
Und die T&E-Rankings (Ich empfehle, es durchzulesen.)
The SBB lost their 2nd best railway company of Europe in the T&E rankings, because the prices indicated were with the half fare.

Who cares, pretty much the only thing that matters in the ranking is price.
Now it has its right spot
> as they’ve relized the SBB listed price is with half fare
lol, that’s hillarious.
Does not really speak to the quality of a study if they miss something that fundamental, though.
The best trains in Europe in the most expensive country of the continent are naturally going to be **expensive**
Are the prices in the report PPP adjusted?
The Halbtax is like 190.- right? Like anyone with a brain (and without a GA) that uses the train more than once has a Halbtax. Those initial 190.- make a big difference, guess even for tourists sometimes. That should just be very clearly communicated.
The very vast majority of public transport users are not tourists, but commuters for within the country. So these are the customers sbb and the others cater to. And for the commuters, a high reliability, punctual trains and buses in a tight net, are much more valued than inexpensive, and therefore only only ok-ish, service.
