Public transportation in Vienna can boast a history of well over 100 years. The developments that have taken place during that period of time are not only interesting in the historical - or, indeed, nostalgic! - context, but also in regards to the technical innovations that have been accomplished. The streetcars of the city - once propelled by horse and steam power - still play a significant role in metropolitan mobility. And those who frequent this form of transportation have seen many a generation of trolley take to the tracks of the city! Be they "high-stepping" or "low-lying", the streetcars enhance the encompassing subway and bus systems and are strategically located to keep everyone "on the move"!

The official word for streetcar is "Strassenbahn", but in Vienna one oftens hears another name - and that is?
