Buses from 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.

For city buses (TPG), buy tickets at machines at stops, via the TPG mobile app, or at kiosks. For regional and international coaches, book online in advance through operator websites. Tickets are rarely sold on board city buses. Validate your ticket upon boarding. Check current prices and book via our partner widgets.

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.

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.

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.

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.
