New trams to Meyrin from Saturday 12 December

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Geneva’s tram lines 14 and 16 will go all the way to Meyrin starting 12 December with five new stops in the town of Meyrin itself. The city’s public transport company, TPG, says that its entire route network has been extended and the frequency of bus and tram services increased.

The fare zones have been changed, partly in anticipation of the joint venture with canton Vaud’s Mobilis fare cooperative starting in late 2010, which will allow a person to travel from Annemasse to Lausanne and beyond with a single ticket. TPG also announced that its call up service Taxibus will be cancelled.

Until 1995, the only tram was the 12 from Carouge to Bachet. From 1995, TPG began important extensions to the tram network which now covers 30km of routes.
