New taxi fares from Cointrin to central Geneva

Thursday, 20 October 2022 06:30

New rules on Geneva taxi fares will come into force from January next year.

There’ll be fare limits for taking a cab from the airport into the centre of town.

Drivers will not be able to charge more than CHF 50 for destinations to the right bank – and CHF 60 for the left bank.

There’ll be a flat rate of CHF 35 for any trip to the international organisations.

The amounts are almost double the initial fare limits discussed by the canton – which caused uproar with taxi drivers who claimed it was an effective rate below the cantonal minimum wage.
