Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice for a futur EV to do my groceries and trips, something not too expensive to service/maintain that will reach 200K kms/15 years and cost less than 25K

having done tons of repairs on an old 2009 Citroen C1 with 83K km as of rn I’m really looking forward to switch to something more “bulletproof“.

Those are the costs I had to pay:

- clutch failure: being an automatic I was forced to do it at the dealer, 3000chf!!! Thanks Emil Frey!!!

- wiper blade, front brakes (discs and pads) and service: 800chf

- another service and rear drum brakes : 700chf

And my problems are still not the end as MFK is due very soon and I still need to:

- adjust my headlights

- rear lights “burned” a piece of metal (so must replace entire cluster)

- Tires from 2017, I really need to replace those I know

sooo ANOTHER easy 500chf to fix those things and I’m not even guaranteed to pass inspection…

TLDR: current car being a money pit need something electric that will keep rolling for more than a decade

Geneva was the final stop of my European road trip last August, and it turned out to be a beautiful place to end the journey.

I spent some time photographing Lake Geneva and the famous Jet d’Eau. What really caught my attention was the dramatic sky, with heavy clouds, shifting light, and sailboats adding a different character to every frame.

I also enjoyed the contrast between the lively waterfront and the quieter views of the lake surrounded by greenery.

Here are four of my favorite photographs from Geneva.

Camera: Fujifilm GFX 50S II
Lens: Fujinon GF 32–64mm f/4 R LM WR
Edited in: Adobe Lightroom

For those familiar with Geneva, what are some lesser-known viewpoints around the lake that you would recommend photographing?

Looking for some advice about schools in Geneva but specifically for kids with ASD/SEN. Our daughter is in Ecolint and we are struggling with lack of support. We are not sure it's the right setting and have lost confidence in the school. The school is supposed to be inclusive but we feel it's the opposite and we are being managed out. Looking for others that might be able to sign post schools which are more supportive of SEN kids. We also find the class sizes this year are huge so we are looking for somewhere with small class sizes 16kids or less, as we know our daighter thrives in less hectic environments.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently in my final year of a Master’s in interior design, exhibition design and visual merchandising (and my last year of studying altogether, woohoo!), so I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’d like my life to look like after graduation, where I’d like to live, and where I could find a job in my field.

I love living in Paris. The cultural scene is amazing, there’s always something to do, and I really enjoy the energy of the city. Buuut Switzerland is calling me! I really loved the atmosphere in both Geneva and Lausanne, and I’m considering moving there for a few years after graduating, potentially staying long-term if I end up loving it, or moving somewhere else later on.

I’d love to hear from people who live there! What’s everyday life like (especially if you don’t drive)? What do you love about living in Switzerland, and what do you find frustrating or miss about living elsewhere?

I’m also wondering whether Switzerland is a good place to start your career as a recent graduate, particularly in a design-related field, or whether it would be wiser to gain a few years of work experience elsewhere first and move later on.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you moved to Geneva from another country or started your career there as a junior!

Thanks in advance! :)

Tourist here with one night out available, where to go tonight for good food or drinks?

Hi, I was wondering anyone knows places one could go on weekends or at night to practice an instrument . I have just started sax classes and the only place I have at the moment is the office but only on weekends or way late when everyone has left. In my apartment is impossible at least now because I only make noises lol . Thanks ahead.

I was wondering if anyone knew where to get disposable cameras developed in Geneva. I have some

Fujifilm cameras and am hoping to get them developed. I'm not sure where to go though. Would it be any film developing store?

Thanks for the help!

A friend of mine got run over by a car near the UN while crossing on bike at a green light. She got away without serious injury, but the driver didn't even stop, just drove away. Despite a proper report to the police the same day, they now claim they cannot do anything.

Is it possible that the UN perimeter has no security cameras that would show a road accident? Do you know if it is possible to make a call for witnesses somehow in Geneva? Any hint is welcome, thank you very much! 🙏

Its been there for a week or more.
What’s happening here?

Bonjour,

Quelqu'un sait pourquoi il y a des avions de chasse depuis ce matin au dessus de Geneve ?

C'est pour superviser la pose des cables de fibres ? Ou c'est autre chose ?

I saw this advertisement walking to work near the UN…can someone please explain what is the correlation between Hollywood, the superflu, and coffee? 😭 I’m from the US and I’m not offended, just very curious what reputation Hollywood has in Switzerland to have inspired such a collocation…🤣

Edit: I definitely misinterpreted “le superflu” as a contagious disease, not “superfluous” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hello! I would like to get a watch and like a Rado one in particular. That said, I’m not sure whether to go with that one or perhaps which Cartier, which might mean getting a style that might not be 100% the style I wanted (and more expensive just for their entry level) but I understand retains much of its value compare to Rado. Any advice one way or the other? If it matters, the Rado is around 2000-2400 CHF.

Hi everyone, I (30F) recently moved to Eaux-Vives and am looking to meet moms that love to read as well. I am a stay at home mom with a 6 month old. I used to read 1 book per week and now it's mostly 1 book per month depending on the size of the book. I cannot catch up with my book clubs anymore and I am looking to make a new book club just for moms so we can read at our pace.

I mainly read fantasy, thriller, romance and some science fiction and literary fiction.

If you are interested let me know :)

at geneva airport you can get this amazing pre-made mango tapioca coconut pudding. it comes in those sort of yogurt cups that you can get at different places. i've seen it at multiple stands in the airport, so it's not a specialty of one particular company.

i have not seen it anywhere else, at any of the coops or migros in the area. i love it sooo much. does anyone know where else i can buy it so i don't have to resort to buying airplane tickets just to eat it.

hello redditors

do you have recommendations for a friend of mine for a medical fellowship (university hospital) for a furnitured/furbished rental opportunity?

are there any platforms or something?

tyvm for the help :)

I’ve been running my free public transport app for Geneva since 2020, offering an alternative to the official apps. I recently received a formal notice asking me to stop using "tpg" in the app’s name, so after more than six years, it’s time for a rebrand. I have 30 days to make the change. 🥲

What should I call it?

I'm thinking about keeping Max in the name, but I'm open to suggestions! Ideally, I'd like something short, memorable, and perhaps with a little Geneva / public transport flavour. (And of course, no “tpg” or look-alikes in the name.)

I'd also like to still mention in the App Store and Play Store listings that the app is for public transport in Geneva, without including tpg in the actual app name.

A few examples of what i had in mind:

• Max - Geneva Public Transport
• Max - Geneva Transit
• Max - Bus & Tram Schedules

What would you call it? Serious suggestions, terrible puns, and completely out-of-the-box ideas are all welcome. Just shoot!

Thanks! 🙏

We’ve got too much stuff. Decent men’s clothes that haven’t been worn in years. Children’s clothes from a teen who will no longer use them.

Several antique wardrobe cabinets (over a hundred years old, so large, but in good shape).

Carpets, bed frames, camping equipment, and suitcases.

Most are too good to throwaway, and that seems wasteful.

Any concrete solutions or advice on who to contact about distributing these items will be appreciated. Of course it would be lovely to sell some of it, and others would be good to donate to those who can use it.

If possible, the names of some organizations or businesses that would be helpful or interested in the area between Geneva and Lausanne (closer to Nyon the better).

Thank you!

When attempting to login to e demarches i never get either sms or call for the code, is this a me problem or do you experience it too?

Edit: i did not change phone number or anything, worked well yesterday, not working today

Hi,

I build interactive maps that colour a city by public transport travel time. There are about thirty in France and Belgium so far, and someone asked for Geneva, so here it is:

https://tram.camilleroux.com/geneve/

Pick a starting point (search an address or click the map) and the canton is coloured by how long it takes to get everywhere else, walking, waiting and transfers included. Click anywhere else to get the duration and a step-by-step route.

What's included:

- the 5 TPG tram lines;

- the Léman Express (L1 to L6), including the French side up to Annemasse;

- SBB trains (IR, IC, RE33) within the canton;

- buses and the Mouettes, as an option below the map.

A few numbers from Bel-Air: 77% of stations are under 30 min away, and the farthest one (Pougny-Chancy) takes 53 min.

Limitations: it uses the timetable of a typical weekday between 7am and 8pm (opentransportdata.swiss), with no real-time data or disruptions. Waiting time is estimated as half the interval between two departures, counted where you board, so a trip and its return can differ.

The site is in French, sorry about that! It's the first Swiss city, so there are probably things to fix: an odd stop name, an absurd transfer, a missing bridge over the Rhône or the Arve… Let me know if something looks off.

Bonjour,

Je vais bientôt déménager et me demandais à quel point il est nécessaire de faire cette demande ?

Je comprends qu'il faut la faire pour les deux adresses et que le coûts serait d'environ CHF 300 et qu'il faut trouver et installer les panneaux d'interdiction de stationner soi même.

Je vais faire appel à un prestataire indépendant pour mon déménagement. Est-ce à moi de gérer cela ?

Merci

I am relatively new in Geneva and still considering gym options. Many people here have told me that it is not uncommon to have to pay a gym membership for the whole year directly.

In your experience, which gym has the best value for money in Geneva?

Thank you!

What happened in Geneva today around 16h. Lots of armed police and police vehicles, some seemed broken in an accident.
