Uetliberg railway line
The Uetliberg railway line (German: Uetlibergbahn) is a passenger railway line which runs from the central station in the Swiss city of Zürich (Zürich Hauptbahnhof) through the city's western outskirts to the summit of the Üetliberg. The route serves as line S10 of the Zürich S-Bahn, with the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund's (ZVV's) standards zonal fares applying.
The line was opened in 1875 and electrified in 1923. In 1990 it was extended to its current terminus at Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Today it is owned by the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn, a company that also owns the Sihltal line, and operates other transport services.
The line has a maximum gradient of 7.9% and is the steepest standard gauge adhesion railway in Switzerland. It carries both leisure and local commuter traffic.
History
The Uetliberg line was built by the Uetlibergbahn-Gesellschaft, which opened its line from Selnau station in Zürich to the summit of the Uetliberg mountain in 1875. In 1892 the Sihltal line was opened by another company, running from the Uetliberg line's Selnau station to Sihlwald.

Rete celere del Canton Ticino
The Rete celere del Canton Ticino (literally: Ticino fast network) is a commuter rail network serving the Swiss canton of Ticino and the north-western part of the Italian region Lombardy. It is similar to the S-Bahn networks to be found in the German speaking regions of Switzerland, a similarity accentuated by the use of S prefixes for its line numbers.
The network consists of three standard gauge lines (S10, S20, S30), operated by TiLo, and a metre gauge line (S60) operated by FLP. Both TiLo and FLP are members of the Arcobaleno tariff network and thus share a common tariff with each other and other regional transport operators.

S10 (UPU standard)
The UPU S10 standard defines a system for assigning 13-character identifiers to items for the purpose of tracking and tracing them during shipping.
The identifiers consist of a two letter service indicator code, an eight digit number, a check-digit, and a two-letter ISO country code, the latter identifying the issuing postal administration.
With increased liberalization and the possibility of multiple postal services operating in the same country, the use of country codes to designate the postal service is a problem. To solve this, each country has a designated postal service that controls all S10 identifiers from that country; any competing postal services will have to cooperate with the designated owner.
The check-digit is calculated as follows :

Zürcher Verkehrsverbund
The ZVV (German abbreviation for Zürcher Verkehrsverbund, translated into English as Zürich Transport Network or Zürich Traffic Network) is a public transportation fare network system, combining virtually all kind of public transport means (rail, bus, tram, trolleybus, lake boat and cable car and the like) and services in the canton of Zürich (including Rapperswil-Jona and Pfäffikon SZ and some other spots), and integrating them into one single fare network and coordinated timetables. The fares are not based on particular lines and connections from A to B, but on the number of zones ones travels through for a specified period of time.
History and network
Established in May 1990, the ZVV was initially an elaborate web of railway lines. They were prefixed with the letter S (S-Bahn). S-Lines 1 through 43 (with some lines missing) now form part of the S-Bahn Network. A proof-of-payment fare system is in force on all S-Bahn trains; there are no fare gates, but those without a valid ticket face a minimum fine of CHF 100.
