Transports Publics Genevois, locally known as the TPG, operates the public transportation system in Geneva (Switzerland).
The TPG operates trams, trolleybuses and buses for all the canton of Geneva and also serves some regions in neighboring France. Additionally, the TPG operates boat shuttle lines on Lake Geneva.
In December 2003, the TPG began road-testing a 24 metre, double-articulated, mega-trolleybus manufactured by Vossloh Kiepe and Hess. The mega-trolleybus can carry 150 passengers.
The TPG is the successor organization to the Compagnie Genevoise des Tramways Electriques (Genevan Electric Tramway Company), which operated trains throughout Canton Geneva and parts of neighboring France from 1900 until 1 January 1977.
