How we measure this

ARE · NPVM

Modelled public-transport travel time from the municipality to the fastest-reachable of the six major centres Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano and Zurich, in minutes (including access and egress). Basis: the ARE National Passenger Transport Model (NPVM), reference state 2025. A lower value means better connectivity; the list runs from the shortest travel time upward. It is the same figure as the remotest-municipalities ranking, read from the other end.
