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. The NPVM is divided into traffic zones; each municipality is assigned the zone at its populated centre. A higher value means a longer trip to the nearest centre.
