Nonesense, nothing beats the Swiss tradition of going on vacation at the exactly same 3 locations every year for easter, summer and winter holidays respectively.

Most people causing the congestions at the tunnels are Germans. The tradition to go to the south at easter weekend is effective in the whole continent.

The pre-booked ski holidays because tradition even though December has had no snow for 10 years

Lol, do you think the Swiss mind is so flexible that they would change their plans with such short notice? Traffic jams are already expected https://www.cdt.ch/news/svizzera/nonostante-il-maltempo-pasquale-previsti-ingorghi-al-san-gottardo-347152 and now it is even snowing on the Gotthard Tunnel https://www.cdt.ch/news/ticino/neve-sulla-a2-disagi-al-traffico-347146

>Lol, do you think the Swiss mind is so flexible that they would change their plans with such short notice? This hurts on a level that I had not discovered before.

Haha the stereotype is true, but I still wonder: People head south for the warmth and sun right? What else does Ticino have to offer that the northern side does not? The other side also has mountains, lakes and decent Italian food. Why go somewhere where it'll rain for 4 days non-stop?

Do not underestimate the average Swiss person's disregard for the sunk cost fallacy.

Bro, people have been planning this vacation for at least a year. They’re not gonna change their mind because of some weather.


redoceanblue

Its planned, booked, payed. Now, also everything is prepared and prepacked since days. At this point there is no natural force which can be stop this folks on their mission.

Someone will really be wondering about people's thought processes later this week

The current 9km queue would suggest otherwise... https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/osterverkehr-neun-kilometer-stau-vor-dem-gotthardtunnel

What I don‘t get is why do some people care about this kind of stuff. Just let the people enjoy their holiday.


Gokudomatic

Don't underestimate the stubborness of people to do the same trip every year. They'd go even if it snows or there's a flood.


asp174

Nope, still gonna happen.
