Transports Publics Genevois (TPG) has published an extensive set of service changes affecting buses and trams between 15 and 17 June 2026 as French-Swiss border posts tighten security for the G7 summit in Évian. An updated bulletin issued at 16:58 on 15 June details holiday-timetable frequencies across the entire network and lists more than 20 lines that are shortened, diverted or suspended. Cross-border routes such as 5, 23, 40, 52, 57, 60 and 80 are hardest hit, with several French customs posts closed outright; services either terminate at the last Swiss stop or skip sections on French territory. Airport-dedicated ‘Aérobus’ lines continue to run but may face delays of up to 25 minutes owing to spot checks on diplomatic convoys.

If you do need to travel internationally during the summit window, VisaHQ can simplify the process by checking real-time visa or passport requirements and arranging expedited renewals through its Swiss portal (https://www.visahq.com/switzerland/). Having the right documents in hand can prevent additional headaches if authorities tighten controls at short notice.
TPG has activated a round-the-clock information desk (0800 858 900) and urges commuters to favour tele-working, staggered hours or route planning via its live tracker. Employers in Geneva’s multinational district have already circulated contingency memos advising staff to avoid peak times and to switch meetings on 15–17 June to video. The disruption illustrates how international summits can ripple through everyday mobility in border conurbations such as Grand Genève, where over 110 000 workers cross daily. With the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) now fully deployed on Swiss borders, authorities can close individual lanes while still collecting biometric data—making selective closures easier but queues longer. Business-immigration advisers say short-term assignees should carry proof of residence and meeting invitations to expedite any spot checks, while HR teams should treat delays as a force-majeure cost under travel policies. Regular updates will continue until borders reopen on 18 June.
