Public transport master plan, Geneva
The master plan serves as the basis for the signing of four-year service contracts between the State and public transport companies. The mandate consisted in providing a public transport network at the level of the canton of Geneva, taking into account the socio-economic development forecasts of Greater Geneva and the cantonal mobility policy. A public transport network has been proposed, including restructuring of lines, in particular the overhaul of the tram network, adaptations of trolleybus and bus lines and the inclusion of train and boat lines. This network has been encrypted for negotiations with operators.
