Printed transport timetable returns from the dead
Reports of the death of Swiss Federal Railways’ printed Official Timetable have been greatly exaggerated. Despite the announcement in 2016 that this year’s edition would be the last, a slimmed-down version will be appear in November.
The book – which gives the times for every public train, bus, boat and cable car journey across the country – will next year be published by the Public Transport Interest Group, rail lobby group Pro Bahn Switzerland and the Swiss Environmental Transport Association.
The association explained on Friday that despite the popularity of the federal railways’ SBB Mobileexternal link app, the printed timetable remained irreplaceable for many customers.
