1. TPG: UNIRESO travel cards

In the framework of a partnership between CERN and the TPG, all active and retired members of the CERN personnel are able to purchase Unireso travel cards from the CERN Hostel - Building 39 (Meyrin site) between 07:30 am to 05:00 pm. The CERN Staff Association has stopped selling cards to its members.

Following the recent revision of prices, TPG/Unireso does not offer any longer special discounts to CERN members of the personnel.

The CERN hostel only delivers yearly passes. The reception staff will perform your registration with the TPG office, and take a picture of you. Payment is made in advance in cash or by credit card (CHF only). The new card can then be picked up at the reception one week later on average. You will be informed when it is available. Cards cannot be sent by internal Mail.
