I had an interesting experience when I did a day layover in Geneva, Switzerland, Oct. 10-11, 2009. I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at the Geneva Airport. When I asked the front desk for travel information into the center of town, they handed me a Geneva Transport Card.
This FREE card* allows you to ride the train from the airport to town; the Geneva trams and buses, and the small shuttle boats on the lake (zones 11-17). The card is good for the number of days the traveler will be in Geneva.

*The Geneva Transport Card is free to all visitors staying in approved city hotels, youth hostels or campsites. If it isn’t offered as it was to Mr. Collins, ask for it when you check in. Visit www.unireso.com.
