Linz Cabbies Provide Info about Linz09
Copyright: Groh
Linz taxi drivers are excellent sources of information about the city for visitors and locals alike. Just in time for the start of the Academy of the Impossible, they’ve been issued Linz09 flyers and brochures to give their riders an authoritative rundown on what’s happing ‘round about the Capital of Culture.
The impression that a city makes on its guests depends to a considerable extent on the people they encounter during their stay. Thus, cabbies are of particular importance in connection with the Capital of Culture year.An information campaign conducted on Saturday, July 12, 2008 distributed folders and brochures from Linz09 and the Linz City Tourist Board among the city’s taxi drivers. This material is now available in many cabs, and thus puts timely info right at riders’ fingertips. The drivers are also being updated via radio about the Linz09 lineup. For instance, taxi dispatchers have made several announcements about the start of the Academy of the Impossible on July 14 so that their drivers can act as roving goodwill ambassadors of Linz 2009 and provide optimal information about Europe’s Capital of Culture.
