Markus Ille makes his childhood dream come true: he is a tram driver at the Wiener Linien. A conversation about special experiences in the bimset, responsibility, everyday roughness, toilet breaks and things that only human drivers can judge.
Vienna’s public transport ensures that up to two million passengers travel from A to B in the federal capital every day. With over 1,198 kilometers, it is not only the dense route network that is unbeatable. In total, Vienna offers 83 kilometers of metro and 885 kilometers of bus lines. And the tram network is the sixth largest in the world, with an operational length of 171 kilometers. Moreover, since 2014, all annual pass holders can experience the city for one euro per day.
