Isn’t the swiss railway system pretty fucking good? Why did you drive instead of taking a train?
If you don’t take the train regularly it’s also pretty fucking expensive. If you need to take the train more often there are options to buy a “subscription” so you only pay half price for the ticket or even one where you can ride all year for “free” but the threshold is pretty high.
