Traffic light system for University business trips

The University of Bern has implemented a Traffic light system for business trips that determines which European destinations have to be traveled to by train or rather for which destinations the train has priority over air travel. You can find all relevant information here:

  • Details about the Travel light system are laid down in the travel guidelines of the University of Bern: Travel guidelines (PDF in German)
  • Below you will find a list of the most frequently used European travel connections with travel time from Bern per destination and means of transport (train or plane) with the corresponding traffic light categories: Traffic light system: list of destinations.
