Easy to get wrong
Zürich Hauptbahnhof handled about 449,800 passengers per weekday in 2025, ranking first among Switzerland's 1,095 stations by volume - a genuinely different claim from the station's 'best in Europe' 2023/2024 design award, so the two rankings should not be conflated when describing the station.
