Who is eligible for a free Unireso travel pass?

Courtesy of the State of Geneva, Unireso travel passes for the Geneva public transport network (TPG) are now available free of charge for the following people:

• 18–24-year-olds (inclusive) who live in the Canton of Geneva and:
  • are enrolled in an educational establishment in the Canton of Geneva
  • are enrolled in an educational establishment outside the Canton of Geneva
  • earn less than 50 000 CHF per year
• 18–24-year-olds (inclusive) who live outside the Canton of Geneva and:
  • are enrolled in an educational establishment in the Canton of Geneva
• under-18-year-olds who live in the Canton of Geneva

Please note that if you are living outside the Canton of Geneva and are not affiliated with a Geneva-based educational establishment, you are not entitled to a free pass.

To get your travel pass, you will need to provide proof of your status. This includes proof of address for those living in Geneva and, for students, an education certificate from your institution (not CERN).

Please note that CERN will not sign these certificates. This is because CERN is not an educational establishment and CERN internships and studentships include a subsistence allowance to cover living expenses, including travel.

Applications for the free travel pass can only be made online (if you have a SwissPass) or in the Rive, Cornavin and Lancy TPG ticket offices. For more information, visit the TPG website. You can also buy and renew TPG tickets and other passes at the CAGI cultural kiosk in CERN’s Main Building.
