Witness world-class tram driving skills up close

Smooth acceleration and braking are not only appreciated by passengers – they’re also key here. A water-filled container is mounted on the front of the tram, and drivers must accelerate and brake gently at three designated stops. Every drop spilled means a deduction in points.

With the speedometer covered, drivers must maintain a steady 25 km/h over a 20-meter stretch. This challenge tests their internal sense of speed—something they rely on every day in real-world operations.

How close can you get without overshooting? In this discipline, the tram must come to a stop exactly on a marked line. The closer the stop, the higher the score—perfect timing and judgment are essential.

A crowd favorite! The tram pushes a giant ball toward oversized pins (inflatable columns), aiming to knock down as many as possible. It’s a thrilling mix of accuracy, technique, and a bit of luck.

Teamwork takes the spotlight. One driver is in the cabin, while the teammate stands at the rear or side, guiding with whistle signals. Together, they must reverse the tram and stop it precisely on a marked spot—without any visual contact.

This challenge mirrors real-life tight squeezes. One team member places an obstacle beside the track, guided only by hand signals from the driver. The tram is then driven as close as possible to the obstacle without touching it. The smaller the gap, the higher the score.

Precision down to the centimeter: the tram must stop so that the center of its second door aligns perfectly with a ground marking. Every centimeter off target results in lost points.

Inspired by the winter sport, this discipline features a bicycle trolley pushed by the tram. Once released, the tram stops and the trolley continues rolling—ideally landing in a marked target zone. It’s all about control and perfect timing, not power.
