Throughout the country their are many cog railways operating, funiculars, trams, and even steam trains in service. Much more of the network is electrified and powered in an environmentally friendly way. The power is from nuclear plants built in mountains so nothing can go wrong effectively, and hydroelectricity. Even cities like Zurich have very high transit usage with some 40-50% going to work via public transit which is largely tram or train, and another 30% walking. For a city of its size, this is very impressive. Switzerland also has some of the best on time performance in Europe, and one of the best safety records as well although this is hindered by the extreme terrain of the country.
