A Vision for Switzerland

Underground with ultra-fast speed through Switzerland

SwissMetro-NG is a modern, CO2-neutral transportation system, which will connect the urban centres of Switzerland without diminishing the charm and beauty of the landscapes and cities. It supplements the existing railways and highways and eliminates the present overcrowding. It also fulfils the requirements of the 21st Century (CO2, energy efficiency, sustainability, etc.). SwissMetro-NG eliminates the resistances instead of burning fuel to overcome them. Ultra-fast speeds become possible, sustainable and economically feasible.

Our railway network and motorways are already overcrowded. The capacity cannot be increased without impacting our landscapes and cities. Air transport is unsuitable for Swiss intercity travel and Hyperloop is also not a solution (inadequate capacity, inadequate safety, landscape , expropriations). The only option is SwissMetro-NG. It is also expected to be profitable.

 

Possible Networks

Connecting the important Swiss cities and regions

The network can be constructed in steps. Travel times are reduced significantly. Connections to smaller cities are also possible. In this way we bring Swiss regions closer together and at the same time we preserve their cultural diversity.

Step 1: The first network connects the most important cities with single tracks (thin lines)

Step 2: Network with dual tracks on the main lines (thick Lines) and single tracks to connect the South.

 

Step 3: This is how the fully developed network could look like.
(include additional regions, connect on to neighbouring countries, increase in capacity).
(single track = thin lines, double track = thick lines)
