The stroller wars

Just a sample of pictures I took back in 2016–2017 when I was frustrated by how the national railway company SBB was treating travelers with bikes. As of writing, the situation is as follows:

• you pay for your bike. Either a ½ fare ticket for the journey you are on (up to 15 CHF), or 15 CHF for the whole day (this amount has been on a price hike in the last 10 years). Each train configuration has dedicated locations to put bikes. Some lines then additionally require you to book a slot for the bike, because the number of slots is limited. Especially during spring and summer.
• alternatively, you pack your bike in a bag. It is then considered as a luggage, not a bike, and is therefore free. But it cannot be placed in the locations made for bikes on the train carriage. Which is tricky, because modern bikes are quite big.
• the easiest solution, which I adopted a couple of years ago, is to get an annual bike pass for 260 CHF. You still have to book a slot though when required (2 CHF I think).

My main issue with all this is that strollers have gotten bigger and bigger, are still 100% free, and their entitled owners put them in the locations made for bikes. It results in the mess you see thereafter.
