The Europeans too like to pride themselves of their trains; which, granted, are faster than in the US individually, but in order to get from Rome to Berlin, you have to change trains at least three times and sleep at a station so it also takes 20 hours

European trains are also nightmarishly overpriced. I would like to use them more often but i haven't been able to afford to take the train ever since i finished university and lost my reduced price ticket. It's absurd how expensive it is and for what is quite a mediocre service compared to what you see in East Asia.

30min train ride in switzerland cost me 60-70 franken, its insane as a foreigner. i believe it was a day ticket, but still

Not only for foreigners. I needed an annual ticket only for a specific stretch to go to university, but there's no such option. Instead, I had to pay a ticket for travelling the entire canton.

Yes, but for foreigners it's even more expensive due to the currency, while most swiss people that travel by train often have a Halbtax abonnement anyways
