Think that's just a little inflammatory DaveA. The OP is sharing a tip, and has done so in a reasonably well written and helpful manner. He comes from Lausanne - I doubt he would know what a Zürisack is (note to other readers - it's an official rubbish bag which you have to buy if you live in Zurich, rubbish in normal bags is not collected).

There may be other considerations other than cost to consider. By the sounds of it putting it in the bag reduces the size (remove front wheel), and has soft padding on the outside. This would make it a little friendlier for other passengers since it might be less painful if it brushed against them. I can see the logic from the SBB here - take something large and potentially spiky onto a train - pay extra. Take steps to make it smaller and friendlier for passengers, take it for free. It's not all crazy stuff in this country
