Overview
- The most punctual day was December 28, when 98.6% of trains arrived on time.
- The annual figure improved from 93.2% the year before, marking a year-over-year gain.
- SBB says it sustained punctuality despite extensive construction work and about 1,600 special services for major events.
- Late arrivals from Germany are cited as a drag on Swiss performance, prompting border turnbacks and the use of replacement trains inside Switzerland.
- Direct comparisons with Deutsche Bahn are qualified, as SBB counts delays from three minutes while DB uses six, though Germany reported roughly 60% long‑distance punctuality.
