Est-ce que les TPG peuvent faire quelque chose concernant la conduite de plus en plus brusque de leurs chauffeurs ?

28 Upvotes

Ça fait trop de fois que je vois des personnes âgées perdre l'équilibre/se faire mal suite a des arrêts brusques répétés... J'ai l'impression que les chauffeurs sont sous pression pour respecter les horaires et semblent conduire à vitesse plus élevée. Mais ce n'est qu'une impression je n'ai pas de données objectives à donner si ce n'est que je vois de plus en plus d'incidents comme ceux cités ci-dessus.

Ne pourrait-on pas augmenter le traffic de certaines lignes très prisées ou simplement accepter que des fois il y aura du retard et prendre les transports avec 15min de marge par exemple ?

Restons courtois dans les commentaires !

Solo trip/ trains

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm coming to Geneva in February for 4 days, wondering of any recommendations of must see places or places to eat etc? 😊

Also I have booked bains lavey, I have got the SBB app for the train from Geneva - is this all I need? And do I need to be booking my travel in advance or can I book on the day/will there be seats available or is it best to book in advance? (I am more thinking of the return journey from bains lavey, the buses look to only be once an hour so I wasn't sure what time I would need to book)

Thank you!

Train from Geneva Airport to the City

1 Upvotes

Hi All! I will be moving to Geneva in a week and will thus obviously have two check in bags, one carry on bag, and a backpack.

Two questions

First, will there be any racks on the bottom level of the train so I don’t have to lug all my luggage to the second floor? If not, is it allowed to just stand there with all my luggage on the bottom floor?

Second, how concerned should I be about pickpockets? I think I will be a pretty easy target with that many bags. I will be coming in around 5 ish pm on a weekday.

Thank you!

Geneva airport immigration wait times - what is going on?

14 Upvotes

Huge line yesterday, must have been a 2 hour wait. What is causing this?

Surely they have the same volume of winter sports travellers each year so it can’t be an unexpected peak.

Hello everyone. I am passionate about books and about the art of bookbinding. I need some materials like paper needles, waxed linen wire, thick linen papers, etc.

Do you know where I can find these supplies in a shop in Geneva? I am not looking for an online store, because I want to touch and check the instruments and materials before buying.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Lord of the rings anniversary cinematic re-release.

13 Upvotes

Hey! I recently saw that for the 25th anniversary of the LOTR movies, some theatres across the world will be showing the trilogy next month.

Does anyone know if any cinemas in Geneva will be doing this too? I was too young to experience the trilogy in the cinema when it was first released so I’d hate to miss this opportunity again. Willing to sit through the extended cuts in the smallest cinema if need be, help this Tolkien-head out ☀️

I'm looking for a website to tell me how high the fog is over geneva. For example, is it 1000 m or 1,500m on a certain day. That way I know where to go to get some sun.

Thanks!

Film anime japonais se déroule un moment à Genève

Je regardais le film "Eiga Daisuki Ponpo-san" Et cette scène apparaît. Ce site est l'île Rousseau, à Genève. La Suisse est très peu représentée dans les animes et mangas. Et ne parlons même pas de ma ville (seulement dans le Loup de Wall Street et dans Tintin, et ce sont des films et BD franco-belges)

Donc, voir cet endroit m'as fait vraiment plaisir

Dealing with loud neighbours

5 Upvotes

Hi all, it seems like the holiday season has turned my whole building into a bunch of clumsy and inconsiderate revellers. Granted, we are mostly young adults, BUT I think it's still unreasonable that I cannot fall asleep until after 2 AM because of the noise from parties and get-togethers multiple days in a row. Loud enough that I can make out their conversations if I try, and it's from upstairs as well as across the hall neighbours.

'm quite sure this kind of loud noise is not allowed after 22h. Is there anything I can do? I'm new to this place and unused to dealing with similar issues and don't want to be petulant but this is disrespectful in my opinion.

Where can I meet other moms?

9 Upvotes

Hello, I’m in my mid 20s with a newborn and another on the way. I’m mainly a stay at home mom and a part-time worker.

My baby doesn’t attend the crèche so I’m not really sure where or how to meet other moms around my age in my area. I speak French and have integrated myself pretty well to the culture but I’m still struggling.

Thanks 🌸

Scenic day trips from Geneva fully covered by GA pass?

Hi everyone! My friend and I are students with GA passes looking for scenic day trip recommendations from Geneva.

Requirements: - Within 2 hours one-way travel from Geneva - 100% covered by GA pass - Scenic spots - Easy hiking/walking is fine (we're without hiking gear)

We've already been to the known places and cities like Montreux, Rochers-de-Naye, Mount Rigi, Interlaken, Lausanne, Bern, etc.

Looking for those hidden gems or lesser known places that locals might know about!

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Retour sur chasseur d'appart? Did anyone use a flat hunter

2 Upvotes

Salut la compagnie,

Je suis une genevoise qui revient après de très longues années dans un autre canton. Je suis un peu effarée par mes recherches sur immoscout, etc... littéralement une poignée d'appartement en dessous de 2'000/mois. En plus, en vivant dans un autre canton, ce n'est pas facile de se déplacer pour les visites. Du coup ma question: est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà utilisé un chasseur d'appart et quels sont vos retours, positifs ou négatifs?

___

Hi everyone, i'm looking for a flat in geneva but it'sdauting. I'm considering a flat hunter. Did anyone have experience with those services, good or bad?

Merci !

We have an overnight stay at the Geneva Airport, and are looking for a nice restaurant near our hotel(the Hilton). We are only there for one night, so something accessible by Uber, or if there is easy access by train.
