Museum Remise

A fascinating journey: 150 years of public transport

Take a journey through 150 years of public transport history together with Wiener Linien. Discover one of the largest collections of historical vehicles in Europe in the beautiful historic halls of the former tramway depot in Erdberg, from the first horse-drawn tramway in 1868, the legendary ‘American’ of the post-war era and the Reichsbrückenbus, which tumbled into the Danube river in 1976, to the public transport of the future.

Really cool: A school trip to the Remise

“Why are there no double-decker buses in Vienna?” and “Why did work on building the underground start in the 1960s?” You and your pupils can find the answers to these and many other questions during a school trip to the Remise public transport museum.

In addition to seeing many historical vehicles and learning a lot of interesting information about their history, the museum also has a range of different ways to experience the world of public transport interactively. Depending on the focus of the trip, your pupils can try their hand as conductors, drive an underground train or embark on an olfactory journey of public transport from around the world.

Explore different topics with your pupils:

• Travelling throughout Vienna by bus and tram
• Down we go: Travelling through Vienna on the underground
• Travelling around the world: Find out about public transport highlights in different countries
