Vienna is entering the Tram World Championship in September with Elisabeth Urbanitsch and Florijan Isaku. "We are representing not only the Wiener Linien, but the entire city and actually all of Austria," said Isaku in a statement from the transport company on Saturday.

The event in the federal capital is preceded by training. This primarily includes the disciplines of reverse driving, lateral distance, target braking, and the exact stop at door 2. On September 13, four more will be added - for example, "TRAM-Bowling" and "TRAM-Curling". "Reverse driving in this form is not part of our everyday routine. I have to drive completely without visual contact and rely entirely on Elisabeth," reported Isaku. "We are only as good as our teamwork," said Urbanitsch. "When reversing, I have to give Florijan precise feedback with my signals on how far he can still drive. And then the whole thing in reverse – I drive, Florijan gives the signals. But we know each other so well by now that we know how the other thinks. That's exactly what makes us strong," she expressed confidently.
