The Geneva Public Transport (), also known as TPG, is an autonomous public-law institution responsible for most of the public transportation system in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland.
The TPG is the successor organization to the , or CGTE, which operated trams throughout the canton and parts of neighbouring France from 1900 until 1 January 1977.
The TPG operates trams, trolleybuses and buses for the canton of Geneva and also serves some regions in neighbouring France. Local rail services are provided by the CFF (Swiss Federal Railways) and the SNCF, and passenger ferries across the lake by the Mouettes Genevoises Navigation. The TPG shares a common fare system (Unireso) with these services and some in neighbouring France so that a single ticket can be used for any public transport within its zones and times of validity.
In December 2003, the TPG began road-testing a , double-articulated, mega-trolleybus manufactured by Hess and Vossloh Kiepe. The bus can carry 150 passengers. It entered passenger service in January 2004 on line 10 to the airport. This vehicle was created by adding a middle section to a trolleybus that was originally a single-articulated, vehicle. In 2005âÂÂ06, TPG purchased ten all-new double-articulated trolleybuses from Hess, length , and they are numbered 781-790. As of late 2006, TPG's fleet included 92 trolleybuses, all articulated (of which eleven were double-articulated).
As of 27 April 2008, the TPG network includes 6 tramway routes, 38 cantonal bus routes, 15 intercantonal (Canton of Vaud) and international (France) bus routes and 12 nighttime bus routes.
In December 2010, Line 18 opened, from Avanchet to Coutance; it was extended as far as CERN in May 2011, closed in December 2011 and replaced by Line 14. In December 2012, the tramway was again split into line 14 (Meyrin-Gravi̬re РP+R Bernex) and line 18 (CERN РCarouge).
In 2008 construction of the Cornavin - Onex - Bernex Tramway (TCOB) started and finished in December 2011. Line 14 originally ran from P+R Bernex to Meyrin-Gravi̬re or CERN, but has since then been split into Line 14 (P+R Bernex РMeyrin-Gravi̬re) and Line 18 (Carouge РCERN) in December 2012.
TPG's tram network is the core rail component of the system consisting of five lines. the network has a total route length of 55.91 km and serves some 135 stations.
TPG's trolleybus network complements the tramway, and its scheduled trolleybus services are lines 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 19.
TPG's bus network provides the broadest territorial coverage of the system, including urban, regional and cross-border services between Switzerland and France.
TPG also operates tpg flex, an on-demand bus service that complements the regular network.
