All this will do is flip on the Flixbus operation to take folks across the border to the nearest non-Swiss airport, and they fly from there without the stupid tax-fee.

People will point at the questionable reliability of trains, non-op situation with toilets, limited seating, etc.

These trains have sails and ride by wind power alone?

Do these stupid a$$holes realize this is a Marxist plot?

Does ‘Useful Idiots’ ring a bell?

I SERIOUSLY doubt this news. But why anyone would want to fly over Switzerland rather than take a train and see the most beautiful scenery in the world is beyond name.

I will not fly. It’s not the flying, it’s the airports. They treat you like cattle. Maybe train stations are the same way, IDK. I’d rather drive. Or take a train if I could...

Planes will still be used, they'll just try to hide them in-flight so that we can't see them.

Trains? Why don’t they just walk around Europe like they did in the 9th Century?

Aren’t a couple of major Swiss airports actually not in Switzerland? How do the extra taxes work there?

Really? That’s a thing? If flight shaming ever comes to the U.S., I might move to Dubai. I’ll just say quiet about their human rights practices and they’ll allow me to live my life as I have in the U.S.

Since I've been to Basel, I'll check the numbers here:

Plane:

Air France - non-stop, Basel to Charles De Gaulle AP, Paris, 1 hour 15 minutes $166.

Train:

Basel SBB to Paris Garde de Lyon, nonstop (no transfer), 3 hours 9 minutes, $199.60

Hmmmm.... What would you do, slower, more expensive, or faster and cheaper????

Will they be having Taggert Transcontinental running the trains?

This is right out of Atlas Shrugged.
