Basel Badischer Bahnhof ( BBB ) is a railway station situated in the city of Basel. Whilst the station
is located on Swiss soil, the platforms and part of the entrance hall are extraterritorial, belonging to
Germany, and the station is operated by the German railway company, Deutsche Bahn. A border
crossing is in the passenger tunnel between the tracks and the station hall. The shops in the station
hall, however, are located in Switzerland, and the Swiss franc is used as the official currency there.
The custom's controls are located in a tunnel between the platforms and the station hall. Passport
controls were abolished when Switzerland joined the Schengen Treaty.

Basel SBB is the central railway station in the city of Basel. Trains run by the Swiss's Federal
Railways (SBB) to destinations within Switzerland use this station,as well as Deutsche Bahn's
ICE trains to Germany as well as Zurich and Interlaken and the Cisalpino service across
the Alps to Milan in Italy.

スイスのバーゼル駅は世界でも極めて特異な存在である。市内にはSBBと言われる乗降客の多い駅の
他、BBBとの略称のバーゼル・バディッシャー駅がある。BBB駅のホームはドイツ領であるが駅舎は
スイス領にある。ホームから駅舎に向かう地下道には国境の税関が置かれているが、人の気配もなく、
検査もない。これは、ヨーロッパ国家間で国境検査なしで国境を越えることを許可したシエンゲン協定に
よるもので、パスポート検査も行われない。しかし、スイスは欧州聯合に加盟していないため原則として
ユーロが通用せず、スイスフランを使用している。スイス領内のSBB駅からはBBB駅経由でドイツ国鉄の
ICEが走行している。ドイツ国通用のユーロパスはスイス領内のバーゼルまで有効である。
