Worth noting, Switzerland has awesome public transport. I went there as a tourist and criss crossed most of the major urban centers without a car. You can even go to the top of mountains without a car! It's a little funny to see people suited up in ski gear on the subway. Even funnier to watch them hop off and ski away from the mountaintop station. Next time I go I will be one of them.
I also recall there was a way to get a discounted yearly pass for citizens, far far less expensive than car ownership.
- secretsatan 4y agoMany people don’t own cars, myself included, i think my yearly travel costs would equate to a couple of months of car ownership. I’m a member of a car share scheme for the few times i do need a car, moving large stuff around etc. It’s not always practical, costs with families can quickly rack up, more remote places are less well served (but still served). The half tax card is not just for citizens, but it isn’t so widely known about that not having one is a bit of a tourist tax, you just have to work out if your length of stay and travel costs will be reduced enough to cover the upfront cost of the pass
- blamazon 4y agoAwesome tip! I really want to go back with the goal of riding every funicular and cog railway, so this will come in handy.
