Delegates should be aware that the Geneva Department of Security and Economy has designated Sunday 25 September as a Car Free Day in the city.</p> This applies to all motorised transportation, except taxis and journey buses, and traffic restrictions will be in place between 06:00 and 17:00.</p> The Car Free Day coincides with European Mobility Week, which will be held under the banner of ‘Smart and sustainable mobility – an investment for Europe’.</p> The idea is to help protect the environment by highlighting alternative methods of transport. The initiative also promotes health and well-being by encouraging people to walk through the city – discovering sights and experiences they may otherwise not find.</p> The city will be taking advantage of the quieter streets by organising a number of sporting activities, such as volleyball and football, and food stalls. There will also be a picnic on Le Pont du Mont-Blanc.</p> We are working in close cooperation with the Geneva authorities, and also our transport partner MCI, to ensure that Sibos transportation will run with as little disruption as possible.</p> On Sunday 25 September, there will be a shuttle bus service to take delegates from Geneva airport to the official Sibos hotels. It will run every 30 minutes between 08:00 and 23:00, and the drivers will be aware of any route changes that result from Car Free Day.</p> Greeting staff will be stationed in the arrival hall and will direct delegates to the shuttles.</p> The Sibos hotels will also still be accessible by taxi or private limousine, provided that the delegate holds a hotel booking.</p> Please contact MCI Geneva at sibos2016@mci-group.com</strong> for further details.</p>
