An informative older video. Very appealing!

Very nice and interesting footage, thank you for uploading.
Something I have to point out: There is no mixed use of German and French on the warning sign for the trams. In Switzerland, we use the word "Tram" in German, not just in spoken dialect, but also in our form of written standard German. The word "Strassenbahn" isn't used at all.
