Since December 2019, Geneva public transport's tram line 17 has served Gaillard, Ambilly and Annemasse from the Moillesulaz border crossing. It is the second busiest tram line on the TPG network.<\/p>\n
The second phase of the tram 17 extension to the Le Perrier district in Annemasse was inaugurated on 17 October 2026. The new section has three stations, after three years of works.<\/p>\n
The extension has been welcomed with enthusiasm by residents, according to the Tribune de Gen\u00e8ve. It is to strengthen connections with the Tango bus rapid transit line and limit car traffic around the tram.<\/p>\n
The place Deffaugt station serves shops in central Annemasse. The project is linked to the town's plan to pedestrianise the centre.<\/p>\n
Martial Saddier, president of the Haute-Savoie departmental council, inaugurated the section with several departmental councillors. The department sees it as a lever to increase the shift to public transport.<\/p>\n
A park-and-ride with 200 car spaces and 70 bicycle spaces is planned at the new terminus. The department is funding 44% of it.<\/p>\n
