The quality of life in Switzerland is proverbial. The entire country and in partiuclar the cities of Geneva and Zurich regularly top international rankings. In densely populated Switzerland with its large mountainous areas this is possible thanks only to constant innovation in the area of the environment. A good example of this is the transport associations that link town centres with work, living and leisure areas. This enables commuters to travel to work and others to visit the nearby countryside. This user-friendliness is reflected in the intense use made of public transport. In the Zurich region, 45 per cent more commuters use public transport than cars.
