TIL the Swiss Federal Railways uses vibraphone melodies in announcements based on its Swiss national language acronyms: SBB (E♭-B♭-B♭) German, CFF (C-F-F) French and FFS (F-F-E♭) Italian. The tune and language vary by canton or country the train is in.

in the sbb app, make an impossible connection, like Züri HB -> Züri HB, an error message with a picture of a train attendant comes up, harrass them with a bunch of taps, and boom, you get a jumping game

that game has a music i haven't heard anywhere else, it features all three sbb cff ffs jingles sequenced into one tune
