Zurich's main station has once again been voted the best station in Europe. Bern took third place, while the five most passenger-unfriendly stations according to the European Railway Station Index are all in Germany.
With 102 points, Zurich Central Station is comfortably in first place ahead of Vienna Central Station with 94 points. According to the study, Bern is in third place together with Berlin Central Station. This means that Switzerland is represented twice on the podium.
According to the study, passenger comfort is lowest at the German train stations Essen, Berlin Ostkreuz, Berlin Zoologischer Garten, Munich-Pasing and Bremen. The reason for this is the massive delays and waiting times. Two-fifths of all trains in Bremen were more than five minutes late.
The 50 stations with the most passengers in Europe were examined. Factors such as tickets, shopping facilities, disabled access, connections and free Wi-Fi were decisive for the ranking.
