"Wish you were queer": Wiener Linien Celebrate Pride Month

On Saturday, it's that time again: The Ring transforms into a colorful festival ground for diversity, solidarity, and inclusion. This year, the Wiener Linien stand firmly by the side of the LGBTIQ+ community and make a strong statement for solidarity. Under the motto "We ride with pride," the Wiener Linien traditionally lead the Rainbow Parade with their Pride vehicles. Throughout the entire Pride Month, the trams are adorned with rainbow progressive flags – and the WienMobil bikes also display the colors of diversity.  

Cycling on the Rainbow with the "Love Bikes" of Wiener Linien

The public transport brings all Pride visitors to the event in an environmentally friendly way over the weekend. Those who want to arrive in a sporty manner can grab one of the WienMobil bikes and cycle to Pride in style. For the first time, 200 bikes are on the move in rainbow progressive colors in June. Those who wish to participate in the parade with the Love Bikes can rent a bike on June 14 at one of the ten stations in the city center: Rathausplatz/Burgtheater, Volksgarten, Opera, Kärntner Ring, Johannesgasse, Stubentor, Julius-Raab-Platz, Schwedenplatz, Schottenring U, and Universitätsring. With the code "Pride25," there are 100 free minutes for WienMobil Rad (redeemable on the day of the Rainbow Parade). 

"Wish you were queer" - Pride Campaign in Vienna

Under the motto "Your visibility counts!" a campaign by the Wiener Linien is currently running, giving queer people and their allies space to make their voices visible. The Wiener Linien offer the people of Vienna the opportunity to stand up for the LGBTQIA+ community with their message in front of a broad audience. The first messages are already visible on the social media channels of the Wiener Linien and the digital screens in the subway stations.

Wiener Linien Celebrate Diversity in the Company

Alexandra Reinagl, Managing Director of Wiener Linien, is proud of the diversity in the company: "A respectful approach is of central importance to us as a company, both with our employees and our passengers. We stand for diversity, respect, and a spirit of solidarity. Pride Month is again a good opportunity to set a clear and colorful sign of solidarity. Diversity is a strength that shapes us and one that we certainly want to celebrate," says Alexandra Reinagl, Managing Director of Wiener Linien. This is also reflected in the Wiener Linien shop - there is plenty of merchandise available in Pride design.
