How to read these figures
- Travel times are federal model values for an average weekday, as of 2017: averaged over the whole home municipality and the whole workplace municipality, for public transport including the way to and from the stop. Your door-to-door time can differ. For a specific address, the report calculates it again.
- Car: driving time on the road network with the traffic of an average weekday.
- Total annual cost: income tax, health insurance premiums (deductible 300) and electricity (4,500 kWh) for the chosen household, without commuting costs. Differences rounded to CHF 100.
- Rents and property prices are not included; there is no data per municipality.
