Celebrating the 150 years of the Tramway in Geneva

Incredible, but Geneva's tramway is 150 yo......


(translation from the TPG website (by google))


Saturday, June 16 from 13h to 17h 

Open House 
Discover the entrails of the TPG by visiting the Bachet-de-Pesay and Junction.


A history of trams but not only ...
Throughout the history of trams, an exhibition not to be missed at Bachet trace the movements of Geneva since the mid-19th century.


On one site to another 

Historical trams will fit between the trams on the line 12 to take you from Rive to the Bachet de Pesay, shuttle trolley in Retro Livery will operate between Rive and the depot of the junction on the bus route 2 and Historic buses will shuttle between the depots of Bachet de Pesay and Junction.


Sunday, June 17 from 11:30 to 12:30

Parade of trams 
On the course of the oldest tram in Europe still in business, a great historic procession composed of a dozen historic cars will run between Carouge and the place-of-Neuve.


Sunday, June 17 at 24:30

Sunday at 24:30, back in time aboard the tram and trolleybus parade, buses and other historic vehicles. Discover these machines from another era that you wait quietly between rue de Candolle and Place de Neuve. 


Popular festival and events 
Enjoy our picnic on the lawn or on the bench Bastions of the Vine, while enjoying musical entertainment and games that will brighten both places and the place of Newfoundland.
