All Aboard! ORF Reveals Streetcars Decorated in Building Bridges Slogan and Art

  • Posted on December 28, 2014December 28, 2014
  • byWilliam Lee Adams

The Eurovision spirit is already gripping the streets of Vienna, and today it became even more palpable. ORF, in cooperation with Wiener Linien (the company that runs public transport in Vienna) and Gewista (a leading outdoor advertising company), unveiled an “ultra low floor” streetcar, which includes the “Building Bridges” slogan and related Eurovision 2015 artwork. It will ferry passengers across the city until the end of May, when Eurovision comes to an end.

Edgar Boehm, the Executive Producer of this year’s Eurovision, is understandably excited. Here’s what he said in ORF’s official statement.

The ‘Building Bridges’ tram makes the song contest in Vienna present, since public transport will play an important role for us during the Eurovision Song Contest. We therefore made this the first and most visible sign.

Eduard Winter, the CEO of Wiener Linien, points out that the Vienna cityscape is truly “enormous” and that trams are central to getting around. The colourful tram will “increase visibility and interest.”

Apparently we have even more to look forward to, according to Gewista CEO KR Karl Javurek.

The Song Contest puts Vienna in the center of international interest, and we look forward to putting together [more] accents in the public sphere. The Song Contest tram is just the beginning.

Are you loving the new trains?!

This is what the trams will look like in #vienna during #eurovision. #buildingbridges

I really can’t wait for Vienna 2015. Why can’t May just hurry up?????? My biggest hope for Eurovision 2015 and future Eurovision Song Contests is that ORF and the host countries after Austria go to levels we never thought possible. I know it can be achieved. As the organization of the Eurovision Song Contest thrives on ambition and taking leaps of faith. That to me is one of the elements that makes the Eurovision Song Contest the biggest, best and most successful music competition of all time. Some leaps of faith taken in the future we might be apprehensive about.… Read more »

Public transports in Vienna are really excellent. No one should ever get on a taxi.

And for all of you, who are arriving at Vienna Airport, don’t get on the City Airport Train, use the S7 metroline instead! Many guests are tricked into buying CAT tickets and realise too late they could have used the S7 metro, which is much longer and much cheaper. Familiarize yourself with Vienna public transports before arriving! Maybe wiwibloggs can bring a Vienna city guide timely.
