    That’s an incredible subway system! I can’t believe it’s built in a city with a population of 130,000! Only in Switzerland does something like this happen.

    It’s amazing to see how efficient, and clean everything is. I’m curious to see how a city that small can afford to build such an extensive underground transport system and if it’s all built using local funding.

      The metro and other transit are built using city and cantonal fund. Another thing is that there are many small towns in Switzerland even they are connected with each other and everything is overbuilt. So you only can tell by roadsigns if you go from one town to another. In other countries those towns would have been combined to one large municipality.
