Every year, SBB transports 441 million passengers. Its 3030 route kilometres make up a high proportion of Switzerland’s 7590-km rail network. With the exception of Herisau and Appenzell, all of Switzerland’s cantonal capitals are on the SBB network. 794 stations have hourly or half-hourly train services.
33,000 railway employees work round the clock to keep trains running safely and punctually. So SBB isn’t just the largest travel and transport company in Switzerland, it’s also one of the biggest employers.
The Swiss are European champions in rail travel: in 2012, Swiss residents used trains an average of 51 times. In doing so, they covered an average of 2274 km by rail, which is in fact a world record. 14,200 employees work around the clock to ensure that a million passengers a day travel safely and get there on time. So SBB is not just the largest travel and transport company in Switzerland, it is also one of the country's biggest employers.
