Basel / Bâle to Geneva / Genève by train
A quirky aspect of the Swiss rail timetable is the lack of a direct rail service between the third and second largest cities in Switzerland.
Hence a journey which requires connections.
Two routes are available - and ShowMeTheJourney has singled out this route via Bern, as it only requires one connection between trains.
Though the second route via Biel / Bienne is typically 9 mins faste -but it requires two connections, in both Biel / Bienne and Renens VD.
