The Swiss Halbtax does (at least on ZVV), but I can't think of any
others...


Yeah, I suppose the Halbtax is a notable exception (it does in Mobilis
Vaud as well, though seemingly not from the TL machines in Lausanne,
only if you buy from an SBB machine) - but then that's to some
extent[1] sold as a national public transport discount card, not just a
Railcard.

In DB-land and SNCF-land you don't get discount on Verbund products, I believe.

[1] VMCV buses in Vevey-Montreux didn't used to accept it prior to the
introduction of the Verbundtarif.
