The TPG is the successor organization to the ''Compagnie Genevoise des Tramways Électriques'' (Geneva Electric Tramway Company), or CGTE, which operated trams throughout the canton and parts of neighbouring France from 1900 until 1 January 1977.<ref>{{in lang|fr}} TPG.

In December 2003, the TPG began road-testing a {{convert|24|m|ft|1|adj=on}}, [[Articulated bus|double-articulated]], mega-trolleybus manufactured by [[Carrosserie Hess|Hess]] and [[Vossloh Kiepe]].<ref name="tm-254">''Trolleybus Magazine'' No. 254 (March–April 2004), p. 48.

In 2005–06, TPG purchased ten all-new double-articulated trolleybuses from [[Carrosserie Hess|Hess]], length {{Convert|24.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}}, and they are numbered 781-790.  As of late 2006, TPG's fleet included 92 trolleybuses, all articulated (of which eleven were double-articulated).<ref name="tm-271">''Trolleybus Magazine'' No. 271 (January–February 2007), p. 22.</ref>

As of 27 April 2008, the TPG network includes 6 tramway routes, 38 cantonal bus routes, 15 intercantonal ([[Vaud|Canton of Vaud]]) and international (France) bus routes and 12 nighttime bus routes.<ref>{{in lang|fr}} TPG.
