Everyone who is anyone in Swiss railway policy – and beyond – is expected to attend the National Railway Congress on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at the Novartis Campus in Basel. The focus will be on the future of rail transport in 2050.
Keynote speeches are scheduled from Federal Councillor Albert Rösti, SBB CEO Vincent Ducrot, BAV Director Peter Füglistaler, and architect Pierre de Meuron. Representatives from politics, academia, and business will delve deeper into and discuss the plans for the coming decades up to 2050, the implementation of the 2035 expansion phase, the cooperation between SBB, SNCF, and Deutsche Bahn in cross-border regional transport, and the resulting need for action.
