Catch a free ride on the Skype Tram

By My status Jaanus on July 31, 2006 in Skype around the world.

If you've watched this space, you know that there's nothing we like more than a cool stunt, and we try to put up one of our own once in a while. So our very own Baltic team came up with this: if you can talk for free, why wouldn't you be able to ride for free... say... in a tram? Which is exactly what we did.

If you happen to drop by Tallinn over the next few weeks, this is what you might see riding the streets. The Skype Tram. Where you can ride for free. As you can talk for free.

The writing on the side of the tram says "Ride for free. Talk for free."

We also got our very own ticket inspectors for the tram. You can imagine the conversation...

_- Hi. Do you have a valid ticket for this tram that you have bought?_

_- Sure. Here you go._

_- Er... wait... does this mean you also PAY for your phone calls?_

So our friendly ticket inspectors will remind people not to pay for the ticket, nor their phone calls :)

We were in Tallinn 10 days ago ... and saw the trams ("oh cool, skype ads"). Too bad I didn't know about this deal with it, we would have ridden it just for the fun of it. Now I want to go back there... :)
(and Tallinn is a really nice city by the way)
