Isn’t that a tram rather than a bus in the background ?
Oh, stuff and nonsense. Mahler walked everywhere he could, his apartment being perhaps not more than 10 minutes from the opera house. And besides, that’s a streetcar (Bimml in wienerisch) and not a bus.

I don’t understand how you’re not smarter than you currently are. I think you’re incredibly smart because of the ways in which your knowledge of this subject leads me to believe it. It appears that unless it has to do with Woman gaga, neither men nor women are interested in this topic. You are doing fantastic work; keep it up.

I have walked from the Staatsoper to Mahlers flat in the Rennweg. It’s a relatively short walk, about 15 minutes. I lived in Vienna for 5 years in the last century, and lived in the Zentrum right behind Steffl. I walked everywhere unless I was visiting friends in streetcar districts like Liesing. Ich kenne meinen Pappenheimer.

It would have been dogcart from Klagenfurt station to the villa.
