I'm pretty sure though that Switzerland spends - relatively speaking - much more on public transportation than the US (if I looked it up correctly it's about 8.7% for CH and 1.2% for the US on the federal budget). After all the terrain is more demanding (alps, etc.) and the density of the network is much higher.

Maybe it's because spends a huge amount on military instead?
