The youth wing of the Transport and Environment Association is calling for the abolition of first class on trains, describing it as an unnecessary luxury.
A petition with more than 6,500 signatures argues that removing first class would ease overcrowding and improve comfort for all passengers, particularly at peak times.
Swiss Federal Railways rejects the idea, saying first class meets customer demand.
A recent survey shows 60 percent of young people support scrapping it.
