High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rail 2000 is a large-scale project of the Swiss Federal Railways (SFR) established in 1987 to improve the quality of the Swiss rail network. It includes measures to accelerate a number of existing connections and the modernisation of rolling stock. The federal government decision to support the project in 1986 was approved by a referendum in 1987. In 2004 the first phase was completed consisting of around 130 projects with a budget of around CHF 5.9 billion.After years of heavy investment in roads in the postwar years the share of rail in the total passenger market in Switzerland had been significantly reduced by the end of the 1960s. At this time SFR decided that changes were necessary to increase rail patronage. More trains were operated in order to increase frequencies; this lead to a 75% increase in passengers between 1971 to 1983 on the Bern–Zurich route. In the 1970s the Swiss government and SFR decided to make further improvements in rail services.
