What do conducting and operating a tram have in common?


Sir Donald Runnicles loves nature. But he also loves flying and streetcars. When we suggested that he drive a Dresden streetcar himself, he immediately agreed. The ride took place, and along the way he explained why operating a tram has certain parallels to conducting, why he already feels at home in Dresden and why he likes to speak to the audience.
