Peter Füglistaler
Peter Füglistaler is a former director of the Swiss Federal Office of Transport (BAV), where he served under Federal Councilor Albert Rösti. He has recently been in the news for criticizing the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) decision to lease high-speed trains due to financial constraints, arguing that the SBB should instead obtain financing directly from the capital markets at lower rates, rather than relying on leasing, which he believes increases costs unnecessarily.
