"Figg di" and "Son of a Bitch" are everyday for Janine Truttmann (53)

The article reports on the increasing aggression faced by public transportation staff in Switzerland, citing frequent verbal abuse, threats, and physical attacks. It highlights that Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) experience an average of ten incidents per day involving passengers, with many cases going unreported due to fear of retaliation or high administrative burden. Specific examples include a passenger who assaulted a ticket inspector, another who attacked a security officer, and a third who used offensive language during attempted control. The article notes that while some perpetrators received fines, the overall response has been minimal, and staff like Janine Truttmann describe such behavior as part of daily life.
