This lecture explores how the rapid development of public transportation has drastically changed the lives of Swiss-Romans, focusing on how a railway schedule transformed a city and region, leading to a cadenced train system and increased mobility. Through historical examples, it illustrates how the evolution of railway networks has reshaped urban and rural areas, impacting commuting patterns, local economies, and population growth.
