Electrification of diesel buses, extension of the tram to neighboring , extension of the network off the Geneva countryside: by recently concluding the five-year TPG service contract, the deputies inflicted a halt to the growth of transport in common. Elected officials were doubtful about the allocation of 2 billion francs for the period 2025-2029 which should allow the authority to increase its offer by 30%.
