Transportation

The transportation system here is amazing.  The trams (picture shown) run like clockwork. This is impressive. They have a countdown to the minute of when the next tram will arrive and it is almost always there exactly on time. If it is more then exactly one or two minutes late you can see those waiting get visibly upset.  The Swiss culture is very concerned with precision especially when it comes to time. Swiss watches are the best after all. The trams and buses are extremely clean and wonderful to ride. They have large windows and you can watch the pretty scenery go by as you ride to your destination. Most people plant flowers in window boxes. This makes the buildings look cheery. The picture of the tram is the one I just missed coming down the pathway from UZH. This is not a big concern since the next one will be there in about ten minutes.
