King Pjotr Kraska is dead

Maybe not immediately connected to the topic of this newslog, but concerning Zürich trams in a cultural sense: Pjotr Kraska, oddball and self proclaimed "King of Zürich and Bilbao" is dead. Kraska was an artist conncted to the Dada movement who managed to grab attention through the proclamations he would distribute in trams, by crossing swords with dignitaries and also by repeatedly landing in court for refusing to buy a tram ticket.
