“For Swiss taxpayers — who are paying for the twin, multibillion-dollar ( -euro) construction projects — the main selling-point was that it would move heavy trucks off their crowded highways and onto trains. Switzerland is at the center of a north-south European axis where traffic has increased more than tenfold since 1980. The Swiss have tired of traffic jams caused by big rigs and vacationers filling their narrow valleys, and the rail plan has remained popular despite running billions of dollars (euros) over budget.”
