The Jehovah Witnesses never saw it coming...
edit: oh.. I just checked the video. The Jehovah Witnesses definitely saw it coming. Apologies for the #fakenews
One more video. There's a lot of advertising space at the bottom of this train.

One thing that clearly makes a positive difference in how successful the #Schwebebahn integrates in the city is how accessible and friendly the stations are.
None of them are exactly the same but they all have in common that there's a low-stress pedestrian feel to both the platforms and the immediate surroundings.
It reminds me a bit of many of the platforms within the #Chicago "L" elevated train system. That one has more of an aggressive police & rat presence though.

Near the end of the line in Vohwinkel. Here the trains fly over a city street. With the evening lights it gives an awesome effect as if you're hovering over #MiniaturWunderland :-)
Once there you get a nice view into the maintenance yard as well.
Good morning! Soon after departing Kolding DB informed me a connection could not be made and I can take "any train".
So I'm trying my best before leaving for Munchen.
I chatted with some -at first reluctant, then engaged- locals. One bonus mentioned about this over busses is how it's separated from other traffic, bright ☀️ above the world.
Guy bringing his kid to daycare said in winter it replaces one cup of morning coffee ☕️
No short distance bus or metro can do that.

Ooops & well, that worked out great :-)
I got a bit distracted time-wise during an impromptu tour* of one of the workshops / train storage areas at the end of the line
*super nice btw, guy had no reason to do so.
If it had not been for #DB delaying my already delayed train a bit more I would've missed it.
Wuppertal was fun. And the rollercoaster really showed me how local transport can be truly good. Will go there again one day with @juliette & hobbit. Now on to Munich🍻
