Lausanne’s public transport network represents one of the densest in Switzerland, if not Europe.
With 25 bus lines, 3 metros and 8 regional railway lines, it covers the whole of the Lausanne region, which is an area of 250,000 inhabitants spread among 11 communes.
Thus, over 72 million travellers are transported each year, thanks mainly to journeys lasting between 5 and 7 minutes, during the rush hours.
The city of Lausanne is currently finishing the construction of a new metro line, destined to become the backbone of the area’s transport system. This metro will provide a perfect connection with the other public transport elements servicing the whole of the canton. It will come into service in September 2008 and will connect Ouchy and the lakeside, to the top of the city in under 20 minutes.
All the venues chosen for hosting the event (demonstrations, villages, the stadium, accommodation) will be easily accessible both by regular public transport as well as by special transport, put in place specifically for the occasion.
