How do I get off at a request stop?

How do I stop a request on SBB?

SBB request? Oh, honey, that’s like trying to stop a runaway fondue pot. Tricky. First, wrestle your way back to the digital scene of the crime–their website or app. Hunt down that request. It’s probably hiding under a pile of digital chocolate shavings. Then, the magic “cancel” button. Sometimes it plays peek-a-boo. Like a shy gnome.

• Log in: Your SBB account. The one you forgot the password to. Twice.
• Find the request: Good luck. It’s like finding a matching sock in the laundry abyss. My dryer, by the way, eats socks. Seriously.
• Cancel: Click it. Fast. Before it changes its mind. Like my cat deciding whether to cuddle or claw. She’s a calico. Moody little diva.

Still stuck? SBB customer service. They speak human. Mostly. Faster than a speeding Bernina Express, though.

• SBB Help Pages: For the DIY enthusiast. Like assembling IKEA furniture. But with less swearing. Maybe.
• Customer Service: For when you just need adult supervision. Like when I tried to bake a souffle. Disaster.

Pro tip: Next time, write down your requests. Like grocery lists. Or important birthdays. Unlike mine, which I always forget. Sorry, Mom.

How do you tell a train to stop?

It’s 3 AM. The city hums outside, a low thrum. Trains. Always trains.

You don’t tell a train to stop. It’s all signals. Red means stop, obviously. Yellow, slow down. Green, go. Simple, right? Except it isn’t.

The signal boxes, those old things, they’re miles apart. Five miles feels like a lifetime sometimes. Five miles of waiting. Five miles of potential disaster.

Knowing if a train stops? Check the schedule. Duh. Seriously. The schedule. But even that’s not foolproof. Delays happen. Life happens.

Crossing a track with a train? Honestly, you just wait. You wait. And hope to hell nothing goes wrong. There is nothing else you can do. It’s a terrifying feeling, that awful, slow grinding halt.

Waiting at a station… the platform… well, that’s different. You see the train, or you don’t. The train either stops. Or it doesn’t. I remember once… missed my train to that concert, in 2022… awful.

• Signals control train movement.
• Check the timetable for station stops.
• At crossings, patience and caution are paramount.
• No way to magically “tell” a train to stop. It’s not a dog.
• 2024 is a blur of missed opportunities and anxious waits. I really need to start using the train schedule app. It’s ridiculous.

What does stop on request mean?

Stops on request? Oh, that’s train-speak for “ding-ding, I wanna get off!” It means the train only stops if someone actually wants to disembark, not just for kicks.

Think of it like this: it’s like a bus, but on rails. Not a taxi, though, trains ain’t turning around for you!

Imagine the poor conductor, constantly slamming on the brakes for phantom passengers. Nah, this way, it’s a bit more civilized, a tiny bit, I guess.

Now, the nitty-gritty:

• You gotta be proactive: Don’t just think about getting off; you gotta tell someone!
• Timeliness is key: Give them a heads-up, not when you’re already halfway past the platform.
• It’s not magic: The train ain’t psychic. Shout, ring a bell, maybe even send a carrier pigeon. Or just use the, like, actual button?
• This ain’t no express: Express trains? Ha! More like “if you blink, you miss it” service. No request stops there, buddy!
• Consider the conductor’s sanity: They’ve heard it all. Seriously.

Also, pro-tip from yours truly: learn where your stop actually is. One time I confused Poughkeepsie with Albuquerque. Long story. Anyway. Stop on request, simple, right? RIGHT?!

Are Swiss trains wheelchair accessible?

Swiss trains? Accessible! As accessible as finding a decent fondue place in Zurich that isn’t a tourist trap (good luck, you’ll need it).

Think Swiss punctuality, but for accessibility. Most stations? Ramps! Lifts! You’d almost think they want you there.

Trains and buses? Low-floor coaches, like a red carpet rollout for your wheels. Strollers too, because Swiss parents, oh boy, they take strolling seriously. Seriously!

• Ramps and Lifts: They’re everywhere. Almost makes you wonder if the Swiss are secretly expecting a massive wheelchair convention.
• Low-Floor Coaches: Think limo, but for public transport. Except, you know, without the minibar (sadly).
• Stroller Friendliness: Important. Very important. Mess with a Swiss parent’s stroller access, and you’re asking for trouble. Trust me.
• Overall Vibe: They’re trying! Bless their punctual little hearts, they’re actually trying to be inclusive. Who knew?

Okay, okay, so maybe not every tiny village station has all the bells and whistles. But generally? You’re golden. Like a chocolate bar that didn’t cost you a fortune.

What’s next? Oh, fun facts! (Random, I know, but hey…)

• Did you know? Switzerland has more mountains than my bank account has francs.
• Chocolate consumption? Off the charts. They’re probably fueling the accessibility initiatives with chocolate. Makes sense!
• Switzerland is not in the EU. Nope! They’re doing their own thing. Just like my cat, Mittens.
• The Swiss invented Velcro. Velcro! The thing holding my life together. Now it all makes sense.

Does a Swiss Travel Pass need to be activated?

Okay, so, Swiss Travel Pass… Activation? Right.

• Hmm, I think the Swiss Travel Pass is already activated when you buy it, isn’t it?

• Like, it has a start date already printed? Yeah, that makes sense. My trip to Zurich is booked for next month.

  • Remember to pack my hiking boots!

• Oh yeah, so no need to go find someone to activate it. Sweet.

• But what if I change my mind?

  • No refunds or changes after the start date. Got it.

• Less hassle, that’s always good. But, the printed date is super important.

  • Okay, focus.
