There are lots of reasons the countries are nothing alike. For one, Swiss immigration is very picky so they just choose highly skilled immigrants to avoid having to deal with unskilled poor people. Second, the population density is about 5 times that of the US so it's very easy to focus on public transportation because so many more people get value out of each dollar spent. Third, Switzerland gets the benefit of paying very little for the military by taking a very nationalistic stance and avoiding involvement in conflicts regardless of the atrocities . Criticizing the US for its imperialism is definitely fair game, but you can't pretend it doesn't cost money when it comes time to compare what a country can offer its citizens.
