Berner Oberland-Bahnen AG records loss for 2025 despite higher passenger numbers
In 2025, the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) carried 0.9 per cent more passengers than in the previous year, with 7.2 million passengers. The number of guests on the Schynige Platte Railway rose by 2.3 per cent year-on-year to 112,000. Berner Oberland-Bahnen AG generated total transport revenue of CHF 30.9 million, which is CHF 1.3 million more than in 2024. A deliberate decision to bring forward the replacement of rolling stock on the BOB and the urgent renovation work on the Schynige Platte Railway’s Grätli Tunnel and on the multi-storey car park bridge on the BOB line at Lauterbrunnen resulted in a substantial loss, despite the encouraging business performance.
