Free public transport in Geneva –yes it IS possible !
Public transportation for (almost) free in Geneva seems like an oxymoron…Is it possible to find free transportation in one of the most expensive cities in the world ! Yes, I will entertain you today of several options to reduce your transportation costs.
Upon presentation of an ID and a deposit of 20 chf (100 chf for an electric bike), you can rent a bike and use if for up to 4 hours. There are 9 sites spread across the canton of Geneva where you can get a bike. That mostly applies to short round trips. An issue with the bike ? you can call the flying mechanic to come to you and help; this is as far as these guys go to help!

And I am not finished...
An individual staying at a business residence (hotel, youth hostel) is entitled to a free Geneva transport card for the length of their stay. You’ll get it at the reception of your hotel. Did you know that ?
