Former city presidents campaign for Tram Bern West

The two former city presidents, SP politician Klaus Baumgartner and Werner Bircher from the FDP, are campaigning for the Bern West streetcar (see ). Five weeks before the vote, the two Bernese politicians want to support the streetcar proposal. As Peter Gysi, President of the Tram Bern West support committee, explained, they are appearing in advertisements that are being placed in the local press with immediate effect. Both are convinced that the extension of the streetcar network to Bümpliz and Brünnen is important for the development of the districts in the west of Bern, reports SDA.
