DSCN2220 VBZ (Zürich) trams at Bürkliplatz - 16 Jun 2008

Monday 16 June 2008 (1617) - Bürkliplatz is a popular location in Zürich, located on the lake Zürichsee. A number of VBZ (Verkehrsbetriebe der Stadt Zürich) trams serve this point along with two bus services. Tram 2056 was heading to Laubegg on service 5, one of the city’s shortest length tram services. An older tram heads away from the camera on service 2 to Bahnhof Tiefenbrunnen, a station of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) on the south eastern fringe of the city served by suburban trains, two VBL tram services and four VBL bus services. On special days the trams and buses carry flags. The red/white Swiss national flag and the light blue/white Zürich Canton flag were carried plus, although I am not sure why, the dark blue EU flag. (Switzerland isn’t in the EU).
