A few weeks ago, people of this subreddit were shocked that TrenItalia was deemed better than the SBB as a rail company. Then the NGO Transport and Environment reviewed their ranking as they've relized the SBB listed price is with half fare, meaning the SBB are a lot more expensive (3rd to last, only ahead of Eurostar and GWR one of the British private railways). But the SBB still shine in reliability and booking experience.
Results are now in, and the SBB are 11th, behind the SNCF.
And the T&E Rankings (I do recommend to read it through.)

Who cares, pretty much the only thing that matters in the ranking is price.
Now it has its right spot
> as they’ve relized the SBB listed price is with half fare
lol, that’s hillarious.
Does not really speak to the quality of a study if they miss something that fundamental, though.
The best trains in Europe in the most expensive country of the continent are naturally going to be **expensive**
Are the prices in the report PPP adjusted?
The Halbtax is like 190.- right? Like anyone with a brain (and without a GA) that uses the train more than once has a Halbtax. Those initial 190.- make a big difference, guess even for tourists sometimes. That should just be very clearly communicated.
