In Germany it's also around 4k. EUR 4,027 for the BahnCard 100. We're much bigger than Switzerland, though. https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/bahncard/bahncard_10

EDIT: I can't find info on whether the German one covers city transportation... maybe it doesn't! - EDIT2: It does according to reply!
- wasmitnetzen 5y agoIt covers most local transportation, but not all. > The BahnCard 100 is also valid within the City-Ticket zone of all towns and cities covered by the City-Ticket offering City ticket coverage: https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/tickets-for-local-transport https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/tickets-for-local-transport

Given, I have a "car dude" that repairs and sells me used cars in good condition (I don't drive much at all), but even if you would spend a bit more, it isn't as competitive as it needs to be. But other than that, cars are almost essential today. Have family you need to take care of? Good luck doing that with public transport. Doable perhaps if you quit your job...
- ratww 5y ago> I don't drive much at all Then why are you comparing your €1000 expense to this €4000 ticket? This ticket is for people who travel multiple times a week by train. There are still normal tickets available in Germany, you don't have to pay 4000 a year for the privilege of taking a train once in a while. Even city tickets are for people who travel every day.
