SwissReachSwiss public transport accessibility and everyday infrastructure insights.

Roadmap — two stories on the final site · transport networks · supermarkets & reachability

Insights

Final web plan

Methodology

Nationwide rail backbone

Swiss GTFS is filtered to Swiss rail services and collapsed from raw stops into 1,938 logical rail stations.

Accessibility plus amenities

The project now connects timetable reachability with supermarkets, schools, hospitals, and IKEA access.

Retail competition stories

A dedicated supermarket dataset supports Migros vs Coop density analysis and broader food-retail mapping.

Project Snapshot

SwissReach started as a Swiss rail accessibility project and has evolved into a broader analysis of what that accessibility means in practice. The current documentation combines timetable-based reachability, infrastructure-count analysis, and retail density views.

Current story layers:

nationwide rail graph derived from the Swiss GTFS feed
1,938 logical rail stations after deduplication
30-minute access counts for supermarkets, schools, and hospitals
60-minute IKEA access coverage
Migros vs Coop density comparisons based on the exported supermarket dataset
