Tram-Home-World Cup: Team of Wiener Linien is Set

The first Tram World Championship, taking place on September 13 in Vienna, is casting its shadow ahead. Wiener Linien has selected its two participants from 40 qualifiers.

Elisabeth and Florijan represent Wiener Linien at home Tram World Championship

Among the women, it was Elisabeth Urbanitsch from the Rudolfsheim depot, and among the men, Florijan Isaku from the Hernals depot, the company announced in a press release on Sunday. They will meet colleagues from 24 cities across six continents at the Tram World Championship.

During the internal qualification at the main workshop in Simmering, a quiz with ten questions from the Wiener Linien universe had to be answered - for example, the exact gauge of the trams in millimeters. Then it was on to the practical part: stopping precisely at a stop with the third door as centered as possible on a marker, a target braking, and finally a speed task where the speed of 20 km/h had to be maintained over a distance of 50 meters with the speedometer covered. The winners were honored by Wiener Linien Managing Director Alexandra Reinagl and Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ).
