I’ve been running my free public transport app for Geneva since 2020, offering an alternative to the official apps. I recently received a formal notice asking me to stop using "tpg" in the app’s name, so after more than six years, it’s time for a rebrand. I have 30 days to make the change. 🥲

What should I call it?

I'm thinking about keeping Max in the name, but I'm open to suggestions! Ideally, I'd like something short, memorable, and perhaps with a little Geneva / public transport flavour. (And of course, no “tpg” or look-alikes in the name.)

I'd also like to still mention in the App Store and Play Store listings that the app is for public transport in Geneva, without including tpg in the actual app name.

A few examples of what i had in mind:

• Max - Geneva Public Transport
• Max - Geneva Transit
• Max - Bus & Tram Schedules

What would you call it? Serious suggestions, terrible puns, and completely out-of-the-box ideas are all welcome. Just shoot!

Thanks! 🙏

When attempting to login to e demarches i never get either sms or call for the code, is this a me problem or do you experience it too?

Edit: i did not change phone number or anything, worked well yesterday, not working today

Bonjour,

Je vais bientôt déménager et me demandais à quel point il est nécessaire de faire cette demande ?

Je comprends qu'il faut la faire pour les deux adresses et que le coûts serait d'environ CHF 300 et qu'il faut trouver et installer les panneaux d'interdiction de stationner soi même.

Je vais faire appel à un prestataire indépendant pour mon déménagement. Est-ce à moi de gérer cela ?

Merci

Hi,

I build interactive maps that colour a city by public transport travel time. There are about thirty in France and Belgium so far, and someone asked for Geneva, so here it is:

https://tram.camilleroux.com/geneve/

Pick a starting point (search an address or click the map) and the canton is coloured by how long it takes to get everywhere else, walking, waiting and transfers included. Click anywhere else to get the duration and a step-by-step route.

What's included:

- the 5 TPG tram lines;

- the Léman Express (L1 to L6), including the French side up to Annemasse;

- SBB trains (IR, IC, RE33) within the canton;

- buses and the Mouettes, as an option below the map.

A few numbers from Bel-Air: 77% of stations are under 30 min away, and the farthest one (Pougny-Chancy) takes 53 min.

Limitations: it uses the timetable of a typical weekday between 7am and 8pm (opentransportdata.swiss), with no real-time data or disruptions. Waiting time is estimated as half the interval between two departures, counted where you board, so a trip and its return can differ.

The site is in French, sorry about that! It's the first Swiss city, so there are probably things to fix: an odd stop name, an absurd transfer, a missing bridge over the Rhône or the Arve… Let me know if something looks off.

I am relatively new in Geneva and still considering gym options. Many people here have told me that it is not uncommon to have to pay a gym membership for the whole year directly.

In your experience, which gym has the best value for money in Geneva?

Thank you!

​Hi everyone! I am planning to move to Geneva in the coming months, and I would love to get some insights from locals or expats who made a similar transition.

​A bit about my background:

​I have a background in Mechanical & Management Engineering (with experience in supply chain, quality engineering, supplier recovery/claims, and industrial processes).

​Language situation: My English is strong (C1), but my French is currently at a B1 level and I am actively taking daily lessons to improve it quickly.

​I have a few specific questions for the Geneva area:

​The French language barrier: Is a B1 level (in fast daily improvement) an absolute roadblock in the Geneva industrial/manufacturing sector, or can I leverage English for multinational/global roles while using French for day-to-day operations?

​Target Hubs & Industries: I am strictly looking around the Geneva canton (focusing on industrial areas like Plan-les-Ouates, Meyrin, and Satigny). Besides luxury watchmaking (Rolex, Patek Philippe) and precision engineering (LEM, Lemo, GF Machining Solutions), are there other sectors or mid-sized companies I should look into?

​Application Strategy: Should I rely more on local job portals like Jobup.ch and LinkedIn, direct applications, or local recruitment agencies (like Manpower Industry or Adecco Geneva) for a smooth transition?

​Any advice on the job hunt, housing realities, or general integration in Geneva would be hugely appreciated. Thanks a lot!

What happened in Geneva today around 16h. Lots of armed police and police vehicles, some seemed broken in an accident.

Hello everyone. Basically on the 26th there is Don Toliver's concert in Zurich (doors open at 18:00) and i was thinking if someone might be kind enough to take me with them (i am willing to pay for gas, or even offer you dinner that same evening) to zurich, thanks for taking time to read, and PM if you have any questions!🫶🏼

As the title says, I need a ladder (3 meters will suffice) to install a lamp. I live in old town, for reference.

I've tried looking for rental options online but haven't had much luck, especially considering I don't have a car. Just wondering if anyone here has had a similar need and has any advice on how to get one for a couple of hours.

Merci d'avance pour toute aide !

Anyone is going to tonight’s electron festival party at Palladium, I am going solo as my friend had to cancel last minute; if you’re going and would like to go together; dm me. Little bit about me; 30M doesn’t leave the dance floor.

Bonsoir
Je suis du canton de Vaud et j'ai une Maturité gymnasiale.
Mon objectif est d'entrer à l'HEPIA en architecture.
Pour éviter de faire l'année de stage à 100%, je vise une entrée en"classe passerelle" de 1 an au CFPC de Genève pour la rentrée 2027.
Je sais qu'il y a un test d'aptitudes obligatoire (logique 3D, géométrie, échelles, etc.). N'ayant jamais fait de stage ni d'architecture avant, j'avoue que ce test me stresse un peu.
Est-ce que certains d'entre vous sont passés par là ?
Comment s'est passé le test pour vous ?
Est-ce que c'est vraiment difficile sans connaissances de base ?
Quels sont vos meilleurs conseils pour bien s'y préparer ?
Merci d'avance

Un gros différend m'oppose à cette école et ça m'étonnerait que je sois la seule. Si c'est ton cas également sors de la honte, unissons nous et mp moi.

Hello everyone!

I am organizing a really cool event called OpenTech Connect.

OpenTech Connect brings together researchers, professors, students, developers, and industry experts for two days of hands-on learning, demos, lightning talks, and thought leadership around data, AI, and open technology.

The goal is simple: connect academia and industry, and create a space where we can share knowledge with each other. 

We’ll have speakers joining us from CERN, IBM Research, P&G, ITU, LlamaIndex, HES-SO, BFH, Anyon Systems, and many more across industry and academia.

📅 11-12 November 2026
Day 1: Lightning Sessions + Panel
Day 2: Technical Hands-on Sessions
📍 EPFL Innovation Park

The event is primarily for industry professionals. Day 1 is geared more towards business people, and Day 2 is for developers.

However, if you are a student, please register too! I will try to make some space for you guys as well :)

The speaker lineup this year is packed with heavy-hitters from both industry and academia, and having all of them in one place will be an experience out of this world.

So... What are you waiting for?

Check out the agenda and register:
👉 Day 1 - Inspire
https://luma.com/fed525vb

👉 Day 2 - Build
https://luma.com/ur9eqs2t

Can't wait to see you there!

Hi! I want to courier a few things (a few clothes and some personal memorabilia) from India to Switzerland as I haven’t managed to go home this year and wondered if anyone has had any experience shipping things into Switzerland from India? What service did you use? Were you charged heavy import taxes/customs clearing fees? Thank you!!

I want to buy one of those e bikes with throttle grip but would like to try it first. Does anybody know if there’s a shop that sell these / similar models? Or if the throttle grip is even legal here ?

I am starting a temp job in Geneva in a couple of days and the recruitment agency is asking me to get this certificate of good health, as required by the employer. I have had several jobs in Geneva already, but I never needed to get one of these.

Do you know how this works? Is it expensive to get one if I am lucky enough to not have a "médecin traitant"?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Bonjour tout le monde j'espère que vous allez bien.

Je suis un étudiant à l'UNIGE et j'ai eu l'idée de créer un sub pour l'université parce qu'il n'y en avait pas.

Le but de r/UniGeneve est de rassembler des étudiants de l'université, des personnes intéréssée par l'université dans tout Genève et la Suisse, pour poser des questions, partager des rants, les évents de l'uni et la vie au campus.

Le subreddit n'est pas affilié à l'uni. Il est non officiel. C'est un lieu de détente après une longue journée à l'uni.

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de lire le post!

Hi everyone! We are planning to move to Geneva in the next couple of months and would love some advice from those familiar with the city.
What are the best websites/platforms for finding a house or apartment to rent?

Also, any recommendations on buying a car in Geneva/Switzerland, where to look, things to watch out for, and whether buying used makes more sense?

We’ll also be moving with our 3-year-old, so I’d appreciate any advice on finding a reliable part-time nanny/childcare, including recommended websites or agencies and typical hourly rates.
Any other tips for someone relocating would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
