take in mind that Bern is not a big city, it has less than 500,000 inhabitants in its metropolitan area.

I know you have a knack for underestimating the metropolitan areas of cities in countries other than France and the US
, but Switzerland is one of the few countries that do have official definitions and metropolitan Bern had 660,000 in the year 2000, so it probably is around 750,000 now.
