Today' Railways (May 1999) reports that "Swiss Railways have introduced a
new service for users of mobile phones. A user can press a special key,
type in the names of departure and arrival stations [an abbreviation, I
presume -rs.], dial the special number 222 and after a few seconds the
timings will appear on the mobile phone screen. A call is charged at CHF
0.30 (15 pence)."
