Airport Trains Suck. Will REM Too?
For airport trains to be effective they need to be connected to public transport. Otherwise these trains will not be used.<p>For reference: I checked on the Swiss Rail Network operator page and there are 18 transit options to get from the main station in Zürich to the airport (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;GJTC0F3.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;GJTC0F3.png</a> ). Some of these connections are trams and take a while longer. There is even a direct train to get from Zürich Airport to Geneva Airport. It takes 3 hours and 9 minutes which is about the same as taking the plane with checked-in luggage.<p>Also here&#x27;s a simulation of the timetable of the rail network: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;maps.vasile.ch&#x2F;transit-sbb&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;maps.vasile.ch&#x2F;transit-sbb&#x2F;</a>
