CHF 50 is the legal MAXIMUM to Cornavin and the right bank, and the meter is usually less. You cannot be charged more.

It may legally be a minibus with more than nine seats, but it never beats CHF 3 a head on the train until seventeen people.

More than three passengers puts the meter on the higher night rate, CHF 3.80 a kilometre — still under the cap on a ride this short.

In the gap between the last bus and the first train this is the only option, at the same capped price.
