    It has been modernised every so often, but the line is still operating today.

      Because the topography of the place makes anything other than busses pretty much impossible. The name “Wuppertal” translates literally to “Wupper Valley”, which is pretty narrow. I find it awesome that the city was once very wealthy, so they decided to just go for it and build something cutting-edge for the time. Nowadays, the initial investment would no a big no-no.

      It was the 50’s. Times were different.

        Yes, now they can ride in the carts with the rest of us, unfortunate as that may be.

          If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside.

          Bei einem Besuch im zweiten Stock des Rathauses von Oberhausen verspeiste sie unter anderem einen Blumenstrauß und urinierte im Beisein des damaligen Oberbürgermeisters Otto Aschmann auf einen Perserteppich.

          Fucking lmao
