Florijan Isaku and Elisabeth Urbanitsch are living their dream: as tram drivers with Wiener Linien, they guide their vehicles and hundreds of passengers safely through Vienna every day. But that’s just the beginning. On September 13, they’ll be representing Vienna at the first-ever Tramdriver World Championship—competing for the title of world’s best tram driver. But how does someone become a world-class tram driver? Florijan takes us back to where it all started—the Wiener Linien tram school—and shares what makes his job a dream career, what it’s like to train in a tram simulator, and why he and his colleague Lisi are determined to take home the title.
