What data is expected?
Timetables of major government operated (or commissioned) national-level public transport services (specifically bus and train). The focus here is on national level services (not those which operate only at a municipal or city level and which are not controlled or regulated by the national government). A 'yes' in any question will refer to both types of transport. However, if there is no national level service operated or regulated by the government for a given type of transport (for instance busses), then this type is ignored in this data category.

Details
Public transportation in Switzerland is run by a private company, with government regulation (see http://www.admin.ch/opc/fr/classified-compilation/19983388/index.html, in french). An unofficial open transport API with travel timetables has been built and is supported by volunteers in the local Open Data movement: http://transport.opendata.ch - this data is not from the government, nor is officially supported by any Swiss transport agency.
