Transforming Geneva's Public Transportation through Waterways: Details Revealed
In an effort to address growing traffic issues, the Geneva transport authority, DSM, has identified two priority areas for new routes. The first priority area focuses on "long" links between the shores, such as the future "blue route" between Corsier and Bellevue.
The second priority area includes direct cross-lake connections, with a particular focus on the future link between Cologny and the city centre, via Les Pâquis or Les Nations. These short-distance connections, identified as a strategic corridor, would allow for quick lake crossings and avoid the city centre and multiple land network transfers.
The DSM states that these new routes would make it possible to cross the lake in just a few minutes. If successful following a three-year pilot project, the future "blue route" will be integrated into the cantonal perimeter and the Unireso (TPG) fare system.
However, the details of the three-year pilot project for the "blue route" are not specified in this article. Similarly, the specifics of the direct cross-lake connection between Cologny and the city centre, via Les Pâquis or Les Nations, are not detailed.
It's worth noting that while there are regular boat routes like Lausanne to Evian and round trips with stop options every two hours, appreciated for their convenience and scenic value, no concrete modernization or expansion plans for these ferry connections on Lake Geneva (Genfersee) are mentioned.
These new lake crossings are part of a broader plan to ease traffic congestion in Geneva, offering a promising solution for residents and commuters alike. As more information becomes available, we will keep you updated on the progress of these exciting new transport initiatives.
