A bearable Summer in Zürich

Since Sunday (22nd May), hundreds of teddy-bears add life and colour to the streets of Zürich. Numerous artists were involved in decorating and painting these figures — each one is individual. They will remain on the streets until 18th September. The bears follow on from similarly succesful themes: lions (1986), cows (1998) and benches (2001).

This time, the trams are involved too: A small friendly bear sits on the front of every tram displaying the route number. Its ears match the route colour and its trousers are blue. The only trams that are not fitted with bears are the Cobras.
