BERN, SWITZERLAND – The spring season for roadworks is about to open, with the Swiss federal government spending CHF2.1 billion this year on national roads, CHF1.3b of which goes for road maintenance.
An additional CHF90 million is being spent to reduce traffic jams in two areas, Zoug (Blegi-Rütihof) and the Härkingen-Wiggertal stretch in eastern Switzerland (A1/A2).
The A9 Montreux-Roche area will be one of those afffected by maintenance, with the Chillon viaducts under repair (details on GenevaLunch once the highway department posts them).
The others are:
- A1 Zurich Est-Effretikon (ZH)
- A5 Colombier-Cornaux (NE)
- A13, replacement of the surface, Thusis Sud-Isla Bella (GR).

NYON, SWITZERLAND – Poor Yvoire in France, locked in on its lake side by a frozen dock most of the month of February! Those chilly moments are well behind us, says the CGN Lake Geneva boat company, which is operating additional boats on its NaviMobilité number 3 ferry line this weekend, between Nyon and Yvoire.
The fine weather expected and the thousands of extra tourists in the region for the car show in Geneva and other events has prompted the CGN to have 10 crossings Saturday and Sunday, 10 and 11 March.
The CGN was obliged to stop landings in Yvoire from 1-24 February due to the ice along the lakefront and dock.
2 Navibuses from the N2 Lausanne-Thonon line get their first major maintence job in the CGN boathouse (photo, Copyright 2012 CGN)
LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – The fleet of line N2 Navibuses that link France and Switzerland via Thonon and Lausanne is back in operation as of 27 February, after a two-week winter repairs break.
It was the first such major maintenance job for the two Lake Geneva ferries since they were put into service in 2007.
The boats have carried more than one million passengers and covered 670,000 km, the CGN (
The commuter ferries
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – AP/Republic newspaper in Arizona report that a 35-year-old Zurich man was rescued from a canyon after Navajo police found his vehicle. He had reportedly hiked into Waterholes Canyon not far from Flagstaff, Arizona and went down into a dry waterfall canyon with a rope, but was injured and was stuck there, with no cell phone reception. He had rope burns to his hands and an injured ankle, according to the report.
The AP story doesn’t say how long he was down the canyon, only that he was rescued Monday, but he presumably had time to reflect on how his situation resembled that of an experienced American hiker caught in a canyon, an autobiographical drama retold in the film “127 Hours”.
St Gallen's red centre is a magnet for tourists
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The tourist industry saw a slight decline in visitors in 2011, final year-end figures show, to 35.5 million overnight stays.
Overall the drop was 2 percent. Decreases were seen only with European tourists, down 7 percent, in terms of overnight stays. The Americas are treated together statistically and while visitors from the US were down by 14,000 overnight stays, Brazilian visitors’ stays rose by 16,000, thus contributing to a rise from the region.
Chinese visitors were up 47 percent, with 191,000 more overnight stays and Indians spend 68,000 more nights in Switzerland.
20-29 age group responsible for one-third of licenses lifted

NEUCHATEL, SWITZERLAND – The number of drivers licenses removed by police in 2011 on Swiss roads fell by 2.6 percent, with a drop in every age group except those over 70, where there was a nearly 10 percent increase. The group that remains the most significant is drivers ages 20 to 29, who accounted for one-third of the 76,913 people who lost their licenses.
The main reasons for having a license taken away were speeding, down 9 percent to 32,231 cases, and over the alcohol limit (driving with 0.8/1000 or more, down 6.2 percent to 17,217 cases.
The legal limit is 0.5 for alcohol but for first-time offenders measured at 0.5 to 0.79, police generally give them a warning. These, too, were down by 5.5 percent to 6,374 cases.
The most frequent license ban is for one to three months, in 63 percent of cases, but in 20 percent of cases the license is removed for an indeterminate period, and there was a 7 percent increase in 2011 for these.
The 2011 figures were published Friday 10 February by the Swiss Statistical Office in Neuchatel.
BASEL, SWITZERLAND – Airline Swiss will begin using City Airport in London rather than Heathrow for its Basel flights starting 21 May.
The airline says “the modifications to Swiss’s Basel services have been prompted by the planned sale of sister Lufthansa Group carrier bmi to the International Airlines Group.”
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Traffic jams are dying down in Geneva after three days of snarled traffic, but the Quai Général-Guisan will remain closed until at least Thursday. Work is continuing on the area around the burst pipes that gave way to the cold Sunday 5 February.
Swiss warming up for the March Geneva car show as new models announced
Geneva Motor Show 2011 by Mr Kio (on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/igievil/)
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – A record 420,900 new vehicles were put on Swiss roads in 2011, greatly overtaking the previous record set in 1989.
The number of registered vehicles rose by 2.2 percent compared to 2010, rising to 5.5 million.
The annual figures were published by the Federal Statistical Office in Neuchatel Tuesday 8 February.
Car sales weathering the gloomy economy is good news for the 2012 Geneva Motor Show that opens at Palexpo 8-18 March, with 260 exhibitors.
Among those already promoting the new models they will be showing:
- Italian car maker Fiat is unveiling its five-door version of Fiat 500, the 500L, which will replace the company’s Idea model, a mini MPV. The “new model is based on an evolved version of the Fiat Mini platform”, says the company
- Nissan will “unveil the new Invitation concept car,” reports Automotive Business Review. “The new concept car will be powered by a 1.0-litre engine that offers an ultra-low CO2 emission target of under 100g/km” but the Irish Times is more excited at the prospect of Nissan’s “Emerg-e electric range-extender sports car concept”, not to mention some promising surprises from Jaguar and Lamborghini
- NPR wrote recently that European carmakers keep getting better at diesel cars, which American manufacturers overlooked, but US carmakers are now rethinking diesel, but it’s anybody’s guess right now if they’ll be talking about it in Geneva.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Trains in both directions between Martigny and Sion will not be running again until Friday morning says the CFF rail company, after a heavy load fell from a bridge near Riddes, damaging contacts on the lines.
A bus service will replace local traffic but travellers between Geneva or Lausanne and Brig, including anyone going to resorts in the area, will have to travel via Bern.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – CFF train service between Lancy-Pont-Rouge and Geneva will stop from 09:00 Saturday until the end of service Sunday, 4 and 5 February.
The interruption is due to construction work on the line, part of the new Ceva regional rail project, and the CFF cautions that this is the first of what may be several such service cuts to allow work to move ahead.
Geneva transport services should be used instead of the train, the CFF says.
Sticky business but there is a method to removing your old Swiss autoroute “vignette”
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – A reminder to motorists who use the Swiss autoroutes: you must have your new sticker on the car today, correctly displayed and the old one must be removed. The fine for not observing the regulations has doubled to CHF200, and the highway patrol will be checking autoroute exits this week, so don’t take the risk of driving with just your old sticker.
How to remove your old one: the most effective method, according to several car forums in Switzerland (and this driver), appears to be using a hair dryer to dry out the glue, and a plastic window scraper to remove most of the remaining gummy bits. These can then be removed with a bit of gasoline on a rag, used with caution.
The Swiss customs office warns that to be correctly displayed the sticker must be placed on the windscreen, on the inside of the car, near the edge of the windscreen. All old stickers must be removed.

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – One of Switzerland’s worst spots for traffic jams will get some breathing space, with the Federal Highway Office approving a plan to widen the road from four to six lanes over 12 kilometres of the A1. A 3,300 metre-long additional tube will be added to the Gubrist tunnel.
The project, at a cost of CHF940 million, covers several works: the Weiningen and Affoltern intersections will be redone, a 750 metre viaduc will be built at Katzensee, anti-noise devices are being installed and a new drainage system will be built.
The project has been contentious, particularly over covering the west end of the Gubrist tunnel entrance, which the highway department rejected but which the commune of Weiningen has demanded. Federal, city and village authorities are now involved in talks to find a solution without delaying start of the construction project.
In addition, 113 property owners objected to the price they were offered for the land they are obliged to cede for the project, but their objections were overruled.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Flights in and out of Brussels are being disrupted Monday by a 24-hour strike by Belgium’s three main unions. The 30 January labour action comes at the same time as the Eurozone leaders’ summit to discuss the sovereign debt crisis. The unions’ protest against higher taxes and an austerity programme is causing havoc with air, rail and road traffic.
Geneva flights are so far operating mostly on schedule, but check your airline to confirm, the two airports caution.
Major Swiss highway programme changes announced
Annual highway tax/sticker to jump from CHF40 to 100 by 2015
GENEVA / LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – The roadworks weren’t welcome at the time, but the switch in Morges from two to three lanes during rush hour, using emergency lanes, has been such a success at reducing traffic jams that the Federal Highway Office plans to set up the same system in Geneva and Lausanne.
The measure is part of a series of highway improvements announced by Bern Wednesday 18 January, with the focus on shifting 378km of cantonal roads to the national highway system by 2014, to better needs today that are the result of a series of urban developments over the past five decades.
Morges again has special treatment, with the office adding a Morges bypass to the list of projects to be developed sooner rather than later, to ease the growing congestion in the Crissier area. The cost: CHF220 million. Details of a likely bypass, published in 2009, call for a larger loop from Morges Ouest (west) to Ecublens.
The A1 around Morges was given three lanes in 2009, for rush hours
The package includes traffic flow improvements for Coppet-Le Vengeron, at a cost of CHF175m.
The number of kilometres driven on Swiss autoroutes has doubled since 1990. Recent studies show a 34 percent increase in 2010 in the number of hours of traffic jams, to 15,910, compared to 2009 In the next 18 years, some 400km of autoroute will regularly suffered congestion.
The Morges area switch to three lanes during rush hours has improved traffic flow, the highway department says, lowered the accident rate by 15 percent in general and 80 percent locally, and it has also brought about a 20 percent reduction in pollution next to roads: CO, CO2 and NOx emissions.
Bern and Winterthur will see their emergency lanes changed in the near future, with Geneva and Lausanne, but also several other areas including stretches along Lake Zurich, scheduled for later.
Automatic signals to reduce speed for better traffic flow to go from 85km to 400km
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – A number of Swiss trains, including Intercity trains between Zurich and Basel and Zurich and Bern, have been running late for most of the day due to a break in the line at Deitikon, in canton Zurich. Trains have had to alternate on the same line in some areas, causing delays of up to 30 minutes. The main Geneva-St Gallen trains have been affected.
CFF rail company authorities say cold may be the culprit, affecting some electric lines. Monday night was Switzerland’s coldest night to date this winter.
Highest number since 1964, as steady annual growth continues
The busiest day of the year on Lake Geneva, for the CGN boat company, was 11 August, when it carried 17,500 passengers
LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – The CGN boat company carried more than 2 million people on Lake Geneva in 2011, the highest number since the national expo year of 1964, despite the high franc compared to the euro.
There were some 100,000 more travelers in 2011 compared to 2010, an 8 percent increase in line with the increases of the past 10 years.
The company notes that productivity has risen sharply, thanks in large part to the growth in cross-lake ferrying, mainly of commuters, by the Navibus, which have been running since 2006.
But 2012 is likely to prove more difficult, with demand outstripping supply in the short term, for cross-border traffic.
The busiest day of the year was 11 August.
British passengers are by far the largest group flying into Geneva, followed by the French, US passengers and Spanish (source: Genève Aéroport, December 2011)
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – It was a very good year for Geneva’s international airport: 2011 saw 10.5 percent growth in the number of passengers, with 13.1 million people flying in and out of the city.
Planes carried more passengers, with the number of takeoffs and landings increasing by 6.6 percent.
Financial information will be published later, the airport noted while announcing its traffic figures for 2011, Wednesday 4 January.
Growth will slow considerably in 2012, according to airport projections.
Lausanne-Geneva train traffic to grow 35% in next three years
View from the rails, Lausanne, 20 December 2011
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The additional CHF90 fine that went into effect 11 December for CFF rail travelers taking the train without a ticket has resulted in half a million francs in additional revenue in 10 days, according to Zurich’s NZZ newspaper 21 December. The CFF’s spokesperson Lea Meyer told NZZ that most passengers are nevertheless traveling with tickets: on average one person is fined for every two trains, some 800 fines a day.
The company said when it announced the sharp increase in fines (in addition to the price of the ticket passengers must pay) that the goal was not to bring in income so much as to reduce the inefficiency and high cost of ticket-takers issuing tickets.
Major extensions to Lausanne station moving ahead
In other Swiss rail news, the CFF in the past week acquired three buildings next to the station in Lausanne, as planned, that will the station to add new lines and double the rail capacity between Geneva and Lausanne by 2025.
The CFF told GenevaLunch this week that traffic on the line is expected to see a 35 percent increase by 2015, in just three years, due to the population growth in the region.
The company had 25,000 travelers a day on the line in 2000 and it has already doubled to 50,000 daily this year. By 2025 it will reach 100,000 a day.
Geneva airport's new visitor centre
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Genève Aeroport has officially opened its new visitor centre at the arrivals level, just in time for the nearly month-long Christmas and New Year’s holidays followed by the winter ski season. And with Switzerland welcoming huge snowfalls for the past five days, the skiers are already flocking to the Alps, high franc or not.
The new centre has separate information desks for Geneva’s tourism office, the long distance bus system Gare Routiere and a French tourism office as well as a separate welcome spot for conferences and events, all highly visible. Friday for the official opening the European football Body Uefa had a desk open.
The airport’s signage system is also getting a makeover and the first new colour-coded signs went up last week: blue background bars for flight-related information, gray for airport services and red for shops. The new signs will be replaced gradually in the next month.
Another change will take a year to implement: the airport’s reserved parking spaces are working all right, says Airport head Robert Deillon but travelers need to be able to reserve a space on much shorter notice.
The airport has just selected a partner to completely overhaul the electronic system.
The changes are part of a push by Geneva to become a centre for luxury shopping, with the tourism office and airport joining forces to bring in more high-end travelers. Geneva’s airport already outpaces Zurich’s for per traveler spending, by one franc (what they spend is a closely secret).
Geneva's trams, buses, have new schedules starting 11 December
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Geneva public transport system (TPG) buses and trams will run on new schedules, new routes and new fares starting 11 December, the same day the new CFF Swiss rail schedule goes into effect.
This year’s annual changes are more significant than in some years, the result of a major and ongoing overhaul to better service the growing population. The new system can be reviewd line by line on the TPG web site, in French. To make sure your line is still running and at what time, you can also enter your itinerary on the route planner, in English.
New fares are available in French and English.
If you’d rather ask a question in person, you can either go to one of the TPG associates who are walking around stops and stations wearing bright orange jackets or go to the Plainpalais Circle temporary booth.
Customer approval up as on-time arrivals rise by 13% in year
Easyjet comes into Geneva near the Saleve; it remains Geneva's busiest carrier
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Easyjet ended its year 30 September with a good year in Switzerland and overall customer approval up strongly, in large part because of a 13 percent increase in on-time arrivals.
The company also announced when it issued its financial report covering the period, published in mid-November, that it will begin trialling assigned seating in Spring 2012, as part of its push to increase customer approval ratings.
It has not provided details about the routes or flights or how the new seating system will work.
Passenger numbers for the company as a whole rose nearly 12 percent, and 56 percent of customers are now outside the United Kingdom.
On-time arrivals rose from 66 percent at the end of September 2010 to 79 percent on average for the following 12 months, but Q4, which ended 30 September, showed an 85 percent on-time rate.
The company carried 7.7 million passengers in Switzerland, it told Swiss news agency ATS, almost exactly the same number as the population of Switzerland, during the period.
More evening trains on weekends on the newly renovated track 1 out of Geneva
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Check your train schedules carefully in the next few weeks if you’re used to stopping at either Cointrin or Vernier-Meyrin on the Geneva-La Plaine route, for both are changing their names.
The stops’ new names go into effect with the new CFF Swiss rail schedule 11 December.
Cointrin will in future be called Vernier and Vernier-Meyrin will be called Meyrin, at the request of the canton.
One of the reasons behind the change is to avoid confusion on the part of travelers heading for Geneva Airport, which used to be called Cointrin Airport.
It changed its name officially to Genève Aéroport in April 2011.
Other changes for Geneva travelers:
- a fast train from La Plaine to Geneva will be added in the morning, when the trains carry students heading to school, leaving at 07:11 and arriving at 07:26
- the Coppet-Lancy-Pont Rouge line will run every 30 minutes until the trains stop for the night, on Fridays and Saturdays.
More on the 2011 train schedule changes, including improved service for some communes on the Lausanne-Geneva line.

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, one of the region’s most popular tourist attractions, will close 30 January for 20 months for major renovations. Entrance to the museum, which has 200,000 thousand visitors a year, is free from 1 December to 29 January.
During the renovations a CGN Lake Geneva boat docked in Ouchy will house a temporary, smaller museum.
The International Olympic Committee is investing CHF55 million to modernize the museum, which opened in 1993.
It will be enlarged, from 2,000m2 to 3,000m2, thanks to its research centre moving to a neighbouring building.
The restaurant will have a green roof and the museum will be equipped with at least 300 screens. The museum will be developing two new areas for school group visits.
The new-look museum will re-open in November 2013.
UK strike could cause flight delays: check with your airline
GENEVA / ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – A public sector strike in Britain Wednesday 30 November is expected to cause slowdowns at border crossings, including airports, Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed. The impact on Geneva and Zurich airports is not yet clear, with BA and Swiss flights on schedule early in the morning, but passengers should check for updates on airlines’ sites:
BERN, SWITZERLAND – Tourists who are tempted to drive across Switzerland on the faster roads without the sticker might want to reconsider. It will cost you double, with the fine jumping from CHF100 to 200. Swiss motorists beware: you have until 31 January to make sure the sticker is on your vehicles.
The cost of the sticker remains CHF40 for the 2012. It can be used starting 1 December and is valid until 31 January 2013. The old 2011 sticker is valid until 31 January 2012.
The highway department warns drivers they must remove their old stickers to make it easier to see the new one. The sticker has to be placed on the windscreen, on the inside of the car, near the edge of the windscreen; stickers not correctly placed can prompt a fine this year.
The stickers serve as a sign you’ve paid the Swiss road tax, which replaces the tolls in some neighbouring countries.
They are available at customs agencies, petrol stations, post offices, highway department offices and garages.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Easyjet is adding three new cities in southern Europe to its 2012 summer flight schedule: Catania, Sicily in Italy, Athens, Greece and Venice, Italy.
The first will be at least twice a week and the other two three times a week, starting 18 April 2012.

BERN, SWITZERLAND – The 2012 train schedule that goes into effect 11 December will offer travellers better connections for trips abroad. Some parts of the Lake Geneva region will also see improvements. But the best news for many working travellers is that mobile connections are being improved, as is the online sales service.
The CFF rail company presented highlights of the new schedule to the press Thursday 17 November.
You’ll be able to plug in and connect better in 2012
All the new trains will have electric plugs and existing intercity trains will also get them. “All the new Duplex trains on the intercity trains will be equipped with WLAN,” says Jeannine Pilloud.
A major improvement could be the installation of equipment that amplifies signals received inside and outside the train cars, giving better access to the cell phone and Internet network.
1.8 million cell phone tickets ordered and number growing
The CFF app for ordering online tickets via cell phone is proving popular, with 1.8 million users since it was introduced in 2010, and the number is growing steadily, says the rail company.
Users of the small pocket timetables will find that some of the international ones are disappearing, in favour of online information, and that smaller stations’ stops are no longer listed, but are incorporated into regional listings. All details will be available online, however.
French-speaking Switzerland, especially commuters, to see significant improvements
A host of changes for trains in the Lake Geneva region will have a significant impact:
More double-decker trains will be used on the Geneva airport/Lucerne line, offering more seats
An additional InterRegio train will run between Neuchatel and Lausanne at 07:53 and the Neuchatel/La Chaux-de-Fonds/Le Locle line will have additional service during rush hour and a pair of trains is being added to the Neuchatel to Bienne line
Canton Vaud: the S4 line is being extended from Morges to Allaman, stopping in Saint Prex and Etoy, which will now have trains every 30 minutes instead of once an hour, Monday to Friday.
Geneva: La Plaine/Geneva, more trains will run during rush hour. Coppet–Geneva–Lancy-Pont-Rouge trains, the 30-minute schedule is being extended for weekend night and trains will run every half hour on Fridays and Saturdays until the end of the day.
New international connections, travel time cut on major links
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The politicians, and there were many of them, at the groundbreaking ceremony for Ceva, the new French-Swiss regional rail system, made much of the historic importance of the moment. The ceremony Tuesday morning 15 November comes 100 years after Switzerland and Geneva signed an agreement to undertake the financing of a rail project that would link the city to the French rail system. At that point discussions had already been underway for some 60 years.
The Tuesday ceremony marks the end of years of effort to overcome political hurdles and opposition in order to treat the border area as one region, for transport purposes.

The kickoff for the CHF1.57 billion Ceva project signals the start of a number of related rail projects for the Lake Geneva region, noted Federal Councilor Doris Leuthard in a speech.
She noted that the federal government recognizes the rapid growth of the region and the desire for an expanded public transport system that will better link cantons Vaud and Geneva.
A side benefit of the project will be the construction of 1,000 new housing units near the line, in La Praille, Eaux-Vives and Chêne-Bourg.
Construction will start at the end of January 2012. Ceva will link Gare Cornavin in Geneva to Annemasse via a 16km long rail line, 14km of which is in Switzerland, with five stations: Lancy–Pont-Rouge, Carouge–Bachet, Champel–Hôpital, Genève–Eaux-Vives and Chêne-Bourg. Most of the line will be underground, with two tunnels and several covered sections. Two bridges, one over the Arve and the other over teh Seymaz, are part of the project.
The end result of the six-year construction project will be to link the French SNCF rail system with the Swiss CFF, creating a true RER, or regional transport system.
The Swiss federal government is financing 55.47 percent of the project, canton Geneva 44.53 percent.
Negotiations are still underway with the French for their part of the line and some parts of the project still face legal battles, but the approval by Geneva voters in 2009 of a part of the money to be spent by the canton enabled the project to move ahead.
Key figures:
- Some 240,000 people live or work within 500 metres of a Ceva station
- Cornavin to Eaux-Vives will take 13 minutes
- 6 trains an hour will link Cornavin to Annemasse.
Some serviced is back, but expect delays, disruptions for the morning
Lausanne-Geneva trains, including Brig-Geneva airport line, not running Tuesday morning
Update 09:15 GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Trains are back on the track and running btween Lausanne and Geneva, after a 70-minute stop during rush hour on one of Switzerland’s most heavily travelled routes, says the CFF rail company. A signal box breakdown in Coppet was responsible for stopping the trains from 07:30 to 08:40. Repair work will continue until noon, but travellers should expect disruptions and delays for the morning, says the CFF.
Regional and RER trains were not affected, between Geneva and Coppet, and between Lausanne and Allaman, but the breakdown left the Intercity trains unable to make the Lausanne-Geneva connection.
The CFF announced the problem via loudspeakers on the quais and put a team of helpers out to guide people.
Updates in English from the CFF.
Here are details from the CFF, provided at 08:21:
Between Coppet and Gland on the Genève-Aéroport – Lausanne line, no train services are operating.
The Lancy-Pont-Rouge – Genève – Coppet S-Bahn trains are running on schedule.
Trains RE Genève – Lasanne are cancelled between Coppet and Gland.
Trains IR Genève-Aéroport – Lausanne – Brig are cancelled between Genève-Aéroport and Lausanne.
Trains IR Genève-Aéroport – Lausanne – Bern – Luzern are cancelled between Genève-Aéroport and Lausanne.
Trains ICN Genève-Aéroport – Morges – Biel/Bienne – Basel SBB / Zürich HB – St. Gallen are cancelled between Genève-Aéroport and Morges.
Intercity trains Genève-Aéroport – Lausanne – Bern – Zürich HB – St. Gallen are cancelled between Genève-Aéroport and Lausanne.
Passengers travelling from Coppet to Nyon or vice versa travel via BUS TPN11.
Reason: Signal box malfunction
Duration of disruption indefinite.
