- A US tourist spends ten days visiting Switzerland, including Basel.
- The American mocks the many "telephone lines" and finds it strange that "not everything is wireless" here.
- The "wires" are actually overhead lines for streetcars and buses.
"This is the only city, apart from Brussels, that has so many telephone lines," notes the young American in a video posted on social media. As she travels through Switzerland for ten days, she is particularly struck by the many telephone lines.
"It's such a strange city," she adds, wondering whether nothing works wirelessly here.
