It explores the business model of this service, including its governance arrangements, operational provisions to develop the service and address demand, and its territorial scope. The report details the joint planning and development of a comprehensive public passenger transport system for the Greater Geneva cross-border agglomeration with trains, rapid transit trains, trams, buses and boats. The report then presents the key obstacles that the service faces and suggests solutions to these, while the concluding section reflects upon the lessons learnt from this case study.
