    Hello,

    I will take a bus from Geneva to Zurich and the route is via Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Biel/Bienne, Solothurn. Would it be better to sit on the right or left side of the bus to experience better views.

    Thanks for your time and response.

    Kind regards, Lyn

    Hi Lyn,

    Sorry, I am not familiar with buses on that route. Nearly all long distance trips are done by train in Switzerland. I don’t know the bus route. If you sit on the right you may see something of Lake Geneva, but that’s really just a guess.

    Thank you Arno. We will be doing train trips too. Would like to get the feel of one road trip too.
