Founded in 1902, the company is wholly owned by the Swiss Federal Council and operates a national rail network stretching over 3,200 km.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\">SBB is a public company operating with entirely public capital. Its legal structure is that of a joint-stock company (AG), established under the Swiss Federal Railways Act (SBBG) of 1998. The company&#8217;s headquarters are in Berne, but its influence and operations extend throughout Switzerland and also internationally, with numerous connections to neighbouring countries such as Italy, France, Germany and Austria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\">In addition, SBB distinguishes itself through technological innovation, safety and the integration of services with other modes of transport, such as buses and boats. With a vision of sustainability and modernity, SBB continues to invest in high-speed trains and digitisation, consolidating its position as one of the best examples of public transport worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbb.ch\/it\">Source <\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbb.ch\/it\">SBB<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/k16trade.ch\/seqex-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-230949 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FullLogo_Transparent_NoBuffer-300x145.png\" alt=\"K16 TRADE &amp; CONSULTING SWITZERLAND\" width=\"300\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FullLogo_Transparent_NoBuffer-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FullLogo_Transparent_NoBuffer-1024x495.png 1024w, https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FullLogo_Transparent_NoBuffer-768x371.png 768w, https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FullLogo_Transparent_NoBuffer-350x169.png 350w, https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FullLogo_Transparent_NoBuffer.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new SBB timetable will come into force on 15 December 2024, bringing numerous changes to Swiss public transport.
