Transports Publics Genevois
Geneva Public Transport (french: Transports publics genevois, TPG) operates most of the public transportation system in canton of Geneva, Switzerland, including the city of Geneva. The agency's head office is in Grand-Lancy, Lancy. 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. Timeline The TPG is the successor organization to the ''Compagnie Genevoise des Tramways Électriques'' (Geneva Electric Tramway Company), or CGTE, which operated trams throughout the canton and parts of neighbouring France from 1900 until 1 January 1977.Box, Rola ...

Geneva Trams
The Geneva tramway network (french: Réseau tramway de Genève) is a network of tramways forming the core element of the public transport system in Geneva, Switzerland. It is operated by ''Transports Publics Genevois'' (TPG), and is supplemented by the Geneva trolleybus system and the Geneva bus system. Opened in 1862, the network had grown sufficiently by 1920 to serve large parts of the surrounding countryside. However, by 1960 it had contracted to just one line. Since 1995, it has been greatly expanded. It presently has five tram lines, and further expansions are planned. The network extends into France, with line 17 going to Annemasse. History Rise and fall (1862–1976) Geneva's and Switzerland's first trams ran on 19 June 1862, with the opening of a horsecar tramway between ''Place Neuve'' and ''Carouge''. In 1889, a steam tramway was opened, and in 1894 Geneva's first electric tram entered service. Finally, in 1899, the ''Compagnie Genevoise des Tramways Électriqu ...
