Frequently Asked Questions
Where Is the Main Bus Station in Geneva?
Geneva's central hub is Gare Cornavin, the main train station. Most long-distance and regional buses depart from here or the adjacent bus terminal. For city travel, the main hub is Place de la Navigation, near the lake. Always check your ticket or booking confirmation for the exact departure point.
How Do I Buy Bus Tickets in Geneva?

Can I Take Luggage on the Bus in Geneva?
On city buses, space is limited to what you can hold. For intercity and international coaches, one large suitcase and carry-on are typically included. Check your operator's specific luggage policy when booking, as fees for extra bags apply. Storage is usually in the hold.
Are Geneva's Buses Reliable and Comfortable?
Geneva's public transport (TPG) is highly reliable, with modern, clean buses. Intercity coaches vary by operator but generally offer standard comfort with amenities like WiFi and power outlets. Traffic can affect schedules, during peak hours, so allow extra time for connections.
What's the Best Way to Get from Geneva Airport to the City by Bus?
Take TPG bus line 10 or 23 directly from the airport to the city center (Gare Cornavin/Place de la Navigation). The ride is short. Your free Geneva Transport Card, provided by most hotels, covers this route. For direct coach services to other cities, find stops outside the arrivals hall.
How Do I Get from Geneva to Nearby Cities Like Lausanne or Lyon by Bus?
Use intercity coaches from operators like FlixBus or BlaBlaCar Bus, which depart from Gare Cornavin or dedicated stops. This is often a budget-friendly alternative to trains. Journey times are competitive for regional routes. Book online in advance for the best rates and seat selection.
