Interesting... They haven't franchised it to Connex, have they?

it reminds me of Apple, famed for the good service in its shops, hiring a

and I imagine that the highly democratic Swiss won't stand for this much
longer.

To counter that, I saw an SBB gripper let someone off the CHF90 yesterday,
I didn't quite follow why though.
