Boat services between Switzerland and France to be reduced from 2026 (LINK) 10 October 2025

— Évian–Lausanne line set to lose weekend sailings and have fewer boats operating overall. The biggest cuts will hit the Lausanne–Thonon-les-Bains route, where crossings will be halved and no boats will run at weekends. The Yvoire route will also see fewer sailings, but peak-time services will stay in place to ensure cross-border commuters can still get to work.

— swissinfo: "The adjustments follow the renewal of a cross-border agreement between canton Vaud and French local authorities. France had refused to extend the deal under its current terms, which involved splitting costs equally. After months of negotiations, both sides have agreed to continue sharing the costs of services not covered by ticket sales, but with a scaled-back timetable."
