Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The famous Swiss system of consulting widely on political issues is now bringing public transport users – local, regional and national – the chance to have their say in the new schedules for 2010/2011. The “projet d’horaire” web site, in German, French and Italian, provides the current schedules for all transport systems, changes that the transport companies are  suggesting, and a form for people to fill out with their own requests.

To the extent it is possible, consumer requests will be taken into consideration in drawing up the final list, say the site’s authors.  The deadline for sending remarks is 16 June, a relatively short consultation period for which they authors apologize, noting that constraints for drawing up the new timetables limit the consultation time available.

Begin by selecting your canton, then “grandes lignes” (national) or regional services.

A bonus, if you don’t already know the site, is the official Swiss public transport timetable online, which is a useful reference for checking all transport throughout the country as well as rail links abroad.
