Name

"Mouettes" translates to "gulls". The origin of this name is not well understood, but may date from an era of many boat companies, each named after different birds.^[5] The boats today are usually painted in yellow and red, the heraldic colors of Geneva.

Lines

A docked mouette, named for Rousseau

The four lines are considered integral to the city's transport network and thus receive public funding.^[4]
