Switzerland uses a variant of Frutiger typeface called ASTRA-Frutiger.
Switzerland likes to use for official purpose it's nationaly developed typefaces.
It may be interesting to note that ASTRA-Frutiger replaced SNV typeface. But, SNV is still in use in other European countries like Belgium. SNV stand for Swiss Norm Association.
You would think they'd use Helvetica!
It's used for a more sustainable transport type. SBB, the railway company uses Helvetica half bold for the station signs.
