Lovely Swiss Campaign to Encourage more Cycling, Walking and Public Transport Use

I'm not that impressed with public transport in Geneva. In the day it is OK, but the frequency of service in the trams and trains in the evening isn't that good.

I also saw a cyclist nearly come a cropper when I was there when he got trapped between trams coming in both directions. I thought he had connected for a brief moment as they are so close together, which was fairly heart stopping.

The bicycle is so much more normal in Switzerland - as you are travelling through the countryside in a train, almost every house seems to have some bikes propped up near the front door completed unlocked. And the trains have spaces for bikes. But I like the angle of the promotion. I don't have any experience of Geneva itself ... its just somewhere I pass through. But even an ageing friend of mine who lives up above Vevey decided that the hills were becoming a bit much so got herself an electric bike which she loves.
