Golden Tram Ceremony

Yesterday was the official 150th anniversary of Brno public transit.  The official ceremony took place at Moravské náměstí with an honour guard in period costume.  There were a few speeches by local officials.

There was an unveiling at the spot were at 19:00, 150 years before, the first horse-drawn tram made its first trip to Královo pole.

After all of the speeches and the balloons were released the golden tram was there to take people on a short ride to Královo pole and back to commemorate the first Brno tram ride.

I got to sit in my sponsored team for the 10 minute ride.

I'm glad that I sponsored a seat.  Brno has become home and it's cool to think that I was able to give even a little something back to the city.
