On the platforms
Riding on platforms is dangerous, forbidden and expensive.
Riding a scooter on platforms or inside a station poses serious safety risks for you and others. Station areas are often very busy, with passengers moving in all directions. Using a scooter in these areas can lead to collisions, falls or serious accidents.
In the event of loss of control or sudden movement, you could injure another user, or even yourself. In addition, station platforms and corridors are designed for pedestrians, not wheeled vehicles. Therefore, to avoid any incidents, we ask you to get off your scooter and push it by hand when you’re in the station.
Everyone’s safety is our priority. Please respect this rule and be vigilant whe
On board our trains
Folded scooters are permitted on board the Léman Express. However, to ensure your comfort and that of other passengers, we strongly advise against carrying them during rush hour.
When boarding, please fold your scooter and place it under your seat or keep it with you, without obstructing the movement of passengers and staff.

Le mois de l'autre : prevention campaign on the use of scooters in train stations and on board trains
In October 2024, Lémanis carried out a series of preventive actions in Swiss and French stations on the Léman Express to remind scooter owners that riding on platforms and within station perimeters is prohibited and highly dangerous. These actions were carried out in collaboration with the railway police, SNCF Voyageurs and Gares&Connexions. They raised awareness among almost 1,000 scooter owners on both sides of the border.
Hailed by many travellers, this safety initiative has also attracted the attention of other mobility and local actors. Encouraged by this positive feedback, and the topicality of the issue, repressive measures in the form of fines will now be applied to reinforce our message: “Riding on the platforms is dangerous, forbidden and expensive”.
At the same time, a campaign focusing on civic-mindedness on trains has highlighted the problems posed by unfolded or misplaced scooters, which disrupt the flow of traffic and increase train congestion.
These initiatives reflect Lémanis’ ongoing commitment to providing safe, comfortable Léman Express journeys based on mutual respect.
