Swiss Railways Run by Government as Tourist Aid
Switzerland has gradually nationalized most rail lines over twenty years, with 1400 miles under federal control. Last year earnings reached 213474 dollars with expenses and taxes producing a modest profit. Fares are among the world’s lowest, and the system promotes tourism over profit. Half-price excursions, abon nements, and lake steamer free transport for holders mark the scheme. All staff must pass open competitive exams, multilingual training, with top salaries for rail directors. Trains travel fast, averaging 42 miles per hour, and each expresses a Red Cross car for emergencies.
