Arriving in Bern, Switzerland

The Intercity train to St. Gallen from Geneva and Lausanne arrives in Bern. Bern has a covered station that appears to be underground. However there are undercrossings which lead to the front hall, which would be to the right side of this video.

Bern SBB has connections to trains to Basel, Solothurn, Biel/Bienne, and the Upper-Valais via Thun. In general the Bern S-Bahn trains terminate on the same platforms as the SBB trains. Also there are smaller local trains, excluding the Bern S-Bahn, that have their own underground terminus platform. Lastly there are connections to the city busses and trams.




The next stop for this train is Zürich HB (central station).

I didn't know that the station of Bern was in a tunnel...

[amiausUSA]

The Bern SBB rail station is actually not in a tunnel, but under a building, that would suggest it were under a tunnel. It is very handy for the times when it snows or rains.

what the..? that's not true! we don't speak german! or at least only very few of us do. but we learn it at school and speak it quite well. What we speak is called Swiss German which is a totally different language. Germans don't understand us. when we talk it. Swiss ppl don't really like to speak german.

@SchlittschuhclubBern nein du kannst es nicht wenn die kontrolleure dihc in im zug erwischen musst du einen zuschlag zahlen!!

[amiausUSA]

@SchlittschuhclubBern But why would I do that with a Eurail Pass, Swiss Pass etc? Isn't it a waste of money? I paid to sit in first class, so should I not be able to get my money's worth?

@amiausUSA

You can sit in the second class with a first class ticket in switzerland:-)

[amiausUSA]

There was a rumour one time, likely mid-February 2009, that English would become the "fifth official language" of Switzerland. That seemed too good to be true.

i love first class. it's not about beeing better, it's about enjoying the trip.

[amiausUSA]

I had a Eurail pass, so I had no choice. Second class is not available after age 25.
