Finished the plain white a bit sad. Some of our trams are taking on colors. A logical continuation of the partnership forged between the public transport union and the Lyon collective of street artists Zoo art show, this time the rolling work is to be discovered on lines T1 and T2.
The train was unveiled Wednesday morning. After Bess who had decorated a C3 line trolley and Astro who had “woken up” a T3/T4 tram, it was Kongo who had carte blanche. Baptized “Kongoisterie”, his lively and energetic creation will stand out in our urban gloom.
“Using the tramway as a true medium for art and expression”
“Sytral’s mobile collection is growing and we are very happy to welcome this new artistic project to the TCL network, which is helping to bring culture within everyone’s reach by seizing the opportunity to use the tram as a real support for art and expression. This cultural approach, which we want to last, makes it possible to offer a cultural break in the journey of the traveler but also to all the inhabitants who will come across these modern and innovative mobile works”, indicates in a press release Bruno Bernard, the president of the Metropolis of Lyon and Sytral.
