The Annecy-Geneva bus leaves from the main bus terminal in Geneva. Time tables are found on this Website or here, refer to line: Annecy-Cruseilles-Le Chable-St Julien-Geneve. The terminal is located at Place Dorcière, a few minutes walk from the main train station (Cornavin) and post office (see this map). Get off at the last stop in Annecy, train station or Gare SNCF on the Annecy map. Then take the local bus to LAPTh (see bus from Annecy section) or go to your hotel which must be within walking distance if staying in Annecy. Yu can book your ticket online and consult the timetable from the Flexibus company here. The journey takes about 1h. Fare: about 23CHF/14 euro (one-way). Geneva AirportGeneva airport is 50 km away from Annecy: Geneva International Airport. This is probably the most convenient airport for those taking a plane. Some of the Geneva to Annecy buses stop at Geneva Airport, check the bus timetable. If the wait is not long wait at the airport. If not, you can take a local Geneva bus or the fast train to Geneva main train station (Cornavin) which is within 5 to 10mins walk from the main bus terminal. From there you can catch a bus to Annecy. The journey takes about 1h. Fare: about 17CHF/12 euro (one-way). If for some reason your plane has been delayed and you have missed the last bus to Annecy, you can take a taxi to Annecy. This is expensive (approximately 190CHF) but probably less than a hotel room in Geneva if booked late at night from the airport. Hotel rooms around 100CHF can be found, try booking through Geneva Tourism site.
