The Geneva trolleybus system ((フランス語:Réseau trolleybus de Genève)) forms part of the public transport network in Geneva, Switzerland. It is the second largest trolleybus system in Switzerland, after the Lausanne system. Opened in 1942, the system supplements the Geneva tramway network. It is operated by ''Transports Publics Genevois'' (TPG), and currently also serves the neighbouring municipalities of Cologny, Le Grand-Saconnex, Lancy, Meyrin, Onex and Vernier. ==History== Geneva's first trolleybus line, inaugurated on 11 September 1942, linked Champel with Le Petit-Saconnex, replacing the former tram line. Like the tramway network, it was operated by the ''Compagnie Genevoise des Tramways Électriques'' (CGTE). In subsequent years, other tram lines were closed and replaced with trolleybus lines: *in 1950, line 4; *in 1959, line 6; *in 1961, line 2. Additionally, two trolleybus lines replaced former bus lines: * in 1950, line 7 to Aïre; * in 1959, line 33 to Cointrin. In 1971, line 4 was closed. In 1976, the name of the operator, CGTE, was changed to ''Transports Publics Genevois'' (TPG). On 25 September 1989, line 5 was merged into line 6. For more than a decade, some services on the extended line 6 were operated by conventional buses, but on 24 June 2001 the line reverted to operation solely by trolleybuses. On 11 December 2011, the municipalities of Bernex and Confignon ceased to be served by trolleybuses, when the lines to those communities were converted into tram lines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trolleybuses in Geneva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
