Vienna is many things at once: wonderfully old-fashioned and ultra-modern. What other metropolis has a light rail system with stations that are worthy of being listed as world heritage sites and are now served by underground trains? And then there is the new main station, which finally gave Vienna the much-desired hub for rail traffic. Just like in the days of the Kaiser, the tram chugs through narrow streets and "Ulf", a tram that set standards, curves along the same tracks. Transport experts have long been making pilgrimages to the city on the Danube. The metropolis now has more people with annual public transport passes than with cars. Vienna is at the forefront because the city doesn't jump on every train straight away, doesn't get hectic, but takes it easy.
