Features of the SBB statistics portal

This is all about SBB’s transportation; with figures on our offer, sales and demand for passenger services, on transportation for freight services, usage of rail infrastructure or the overall operating performance of trains – SBB’s great importance for mobility and logistics in Switzerland is plain to see. This array of figures is complemented with maps and videos of passengers numbers, open data on passengers boarding and alighting at stations, regular customers and usage of the rail network, as well as diagrams that go into great depth on particular topics or show comparisons with other countries.
