The second construction phase of the cross-border Geneva tram Line 17 extends the line by 1.2 km from the current terminus Parc Montessuit through downtown Annemasse to the new Perrier-Aubrac terminus near Lycée des Glières, adding three new stops (Place Deffaugt, Barbusse, Perrier-Aubrac) and a 200-space park-and-ride. Construction began in 2023, with total phase-2 costs of roughly EUR 41 million. The commissioning, originally planned for September 2026, has been pushed to autumn 2026 due to the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains (15-17 June 2026); sources do not give an exact revised date. — Source: https://www.annemasse-agglo.fr/actions-et-projets/prolongement-de-la-ligne-de-tram-17
