In the town of Baden near Zurich, a new bus route has recently been inaugurated. That alone would hardly be worth a mention in the national media. But this bus has artistic value, according to the town hall.
Artists Frank and Patrik Riklin have created Line Zero, which runs without a timetable and without a destination. It is a kind of mobile installation, the news site 20min.ch reports.
The town, the two men and the Baden-Wettingen regional transport operator (RVBW) want to rethink public transport. Instead of getting to your destination as quickly as possible, the idea is about travelling together as a group.
The words "Line Zero" are indeed displayed on the front of the bus. That way, locals in Baden and visitors alike know that this public transport bus is not necessarily the fastest way to get from A to B - more a kind of creative detour through the town. On the other hand, it promises new experiences and a journey without time pressure.
