Some of my Swiss colleagues even take the train somewhere for a couple of hours just to use it as an office. They have lunch in their destination city and then come back again, work done.
(…)
In Switzerland you can buy a season ticket called a General Abonnement. It seems that almost everyone who lives in Switzerland has one. The 2nd class adult one is CHF 3,100 per year (about £1,850 or US$3,050). So it’s not cheap, but it’s a one-off outlay. When you talk to people about their train usage, one if the things they say is that love taking the train because because it’s free (that and the trains in Switzerland are punctual and pleasant).
The GA is also kind of addicting. Once you get used to it, you forget how to live without one. I once screwed up my annual payment and went without a GA for a month, and it was the most horrible experience, because I forgot to buy a ticket for a train, tram or bus at least two or three times a week.

This is such a cool fucking idea. It would be impractical for me though - where would I put my Wacom to work on? Plus...

Not to take away from your point, but… I find it interesting how subscription / membership programs can radically change...
