What kind of transportation is available in Switzerland?

Answer 1

Just about any method you would expect in a modern country.

Switzerland has the densest and most used railway network in the world. This, together with the interconnecting bus network allows you to go anywhere in Switzerland. Every railway station has at least one train per hour in each direction, often more, and usually at the same times each hour.

A tourist touring Switzerland does not need a car.

The cities have good public transport, which is given priority over cars. Four cities have tram networks, Zürich, Basel, Geneva and Neuchâtel. Lausanne has a Métro. All cities have suburban railway networks (S-Bahn, RER) Most city and town centres are pedestrianised, with only buses, trams and cyclists allowed in.

The mountains have rack railways and cable cars to carry tourists up the mountains.

The road network is good, the Autobahnen / autoroutes (motorways) reach all big cities. The roads through the mountains are very spectacular.
