The city is served by the [[Geneva Airport]]. It is connected by [[Geneva Airport railway station]] ({{langx|fr|link=no|Gare de Genève-Aéroport}}) to both the [[Swiss Federal Railways]] network and the French [[SNCF]] network, including links to Paris, Lyon, [[Marseille]] and [[Montpellier]] by [[TGV]]. Geneva is connected to the motorway systems of both Switzerland ([[A1 (Switzerland)|A1 motorway]]) and France.

Public transport by bus, trolleybus or tram is provided by ''[[Transports Publics Genevois]]''. In addition to an extensive coverage of the city centre, the network extends to most of the municipalities of the Canton, with a few lines reaching into France. Public transport by boat is provided by the [[Mouettes Genevoises]], which link the two banks of the lake within the city, and by the {{lang|fr|[[Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur le lac Léman]]}} which serves more distant destinations such as [[Nyon]], [[Yvoire]], [[Thonon-les-Bains|Thonon]], [[Évian-les-Bains|Évian]], [[Lausanne]] and [[Montreux]] using both modern diesel vessels and vintage [[paddle steamers]].

Trains operated by [[Swiss Federal Railways]] connect the airport to the main station of [[Gare de Cornavin|Cornavin]] in six minutes. Regional train services are being developed towards Coppet and Bellegarde. At the city limits two new railway stations have been opened since 2002: Genève-Sécheron (close to the UN and the [[Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva|Botanical Gardens]]) and Lancy-Pont-Rouge.

In 2011 work started on the [[CEVA rail]] (Cornavin – [[Eaux-Vives]] – Annemasse) project, first planned in 1884, which will connect Cornavin with the Cantonal hospital, Eaux-Vives railway station and [[Annemasse]], in France. The link between the main railway station and the [[classification yard]] of La Praille already exists; from there, the line runs mostly underground to the Hospital and Eaux-Vives, where it links to the existing line to France. The line fully opened in December 2019, as part of the [[Léman Express]] regional rail network.

Taxis in Geneva can be difficult to find, and may need to be booked in advance, especially in the early morning or at peak hours. Taxis can refuse to take babies and children because of [[Infant car seat|seating]] legislation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.20min.ch/ro/rechercher/story/27606758 |title=20 Minutes: Bebés et enfants ne sont pas bienvenus dans les taxis (French) |date=4 July 2007 |access-date=2 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080116021337/http://www.20min.ch/ro/rechercher/story/27606758 |archive-date=16 January 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref>

An ambitious project to close 200 streets in the centre of Geneva to cars was approved by the Geneva cantonal authorities in 2010 and was planned to be implemented over a span of four years (2010–2014), though {{as of|lc=y|2018}}, work on the project has yet to be started.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldradio.ch/wrs/news/switzerland/greenlight-for-a-car-free-geneva.shtml |title=worldradio.ch |publisher=worldradio.ch |access-date=3 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100502042709/http://www.worldradio.ch/wrs/news/switzerland/greenlight-for-a-car-free-geneva.shtml |archive-date=2 May 2010}}</ref>
