  1. Saw this video on youtube, of a tourist/youtuber complaining about “Swiss culture”, while he visited Switzerland.

    **What do you think about his statement?**

    Great attitude. Blames others for his fuck ups and thinks the people of the world exist to serve him.

    Sure, because if you go to the US not speaking english (or spanish maybe) for sure everyone will be super helpful, RIGHT?

    “Well who the hell told me?”

    The in-train announcement he didn’t listen to.

  5. guy pissed me off in 10 seconds of speaking, maybe try not be obnoxious if you expect others to help you

    besides that, we put a lot of freedom & responsibility into the hands of our citizens and expect them to be grown-ups who do their own research. if you don’t like that maybe join an organized chinese/indian tour group next time.

    Welcome to the train station in Spiez, where one half of the train goes to Interlaken and the other half to Zweisimmen. It’s clearly written on the signs at the platform.

  7. The “not telling” part is somewhat true and leads to a lot of misunderstanding. Example : I’ve had numerous cases where i would stand in line at the grocery store or at the airport and a person would come next to me and slowly move forward, in front of the line, without saying or doing anything. When i would say something like “excuse me, i am standing here”, the person would literally freak out : “my wife/husband/family member/friend is in front”. Well how tf am i supposed to know that if you do not give any apparent signs to the person you’re with, nor to me ? Some people don’t communicate, which leads to confusion, then get butthurt if you tell them anything.

    Brits can‘t live with Eigeverantwortig, always crying for the nanny state.

    Next time listen to the announcement in the train and read the built in screens in the train.

    So now it’s the fault of the locals that they can’t read this guys mind where he wants to go and stop him when he boards the wrong train.
    If only the trains would have some indication on where they’re heading, like a textbox with the destination.

  10. Its ricky gervais less talented brother…..and as a Brit complaining about Swiss trains (which are amazing) is a bit disingenuous compared to the state of UK train system

  11. It looks like the the Swiss conductor was nice and didn’t give him a ticket for fare evasion.

    Both things he complains about (trains splitting mid route, hiking paths being at your own risk without explicit closure in case of bad weather etc) happen in the UK too, he’s just a muppet.

    Public transport does not equal culture. I’m in the UK right now and just got a train that did exactly this, front 2 coaches end at one place back 2 carry on to more destinations. This isn’t some novel exclusive to Switzerland concept. It’s like the people that keep coming on here with the rail passes and being shocked they got fined for not validating the ticket before departing as stated in the terms of the ticket. Your inability to inform yourself and research your own plans is not a local cultural issue.

    It’s funny he says the culture here is just make it up given that British trains just make up a timetable and then don’t turn up anyway

  15. I remember getting on the wrong part of a split train on the Paris RER decades ago. Not once, but twice, until we figured it out.

    Still remember it with a chuckle. But then we toured Europe for adventures and mishaps were part of the experience 😃

  16. All train stations I know are divided into sections. All the trains tables/sign generally say which section the train will be…

    I am Swiss, and I can understand his frustration ☺️ we’re not half as cool as we think we are 😂

  18. This big boy shouln’t travel alone, he should have come with his mommy … she’s probably still doing his laundry.
