This blew my mind. So smart! Too intelligent for where I live.

I never thought I'd become interest in 20th Century Soviet era transit systems but I find myself seeking out more and more content like this. Actually Russia and Soviet Russia in general is a fascinating subject. Awesome channel - I'm subscribed.

TOP Quality filming made this a great experience! (Wish I could have a ride too!)

The Tatra KT4 used to operate on the M17 line on the eastern side of Berlin in the past years as a fast connection between trainstations, subway stations and the S-Bahn. I loved to catch a ride on these every morning. Hate that they are gone in Berlin but its good that they start a second career !

Glad I stumbled upon your channel, it's very rare to find videos about ex-Soviet/Russian public transport with translation or subtitles. I wish your channel good growth.

I played Metro 2033 / Last Light / Exodus so some stations sound very familiar - Sibirskaya for instance. Glad to see the episode.

My hometown in México also used to have turnstiles at the entrance and exit of the buses. Pretty uncomfortable, but they got rid of them and placed infrared sensors to count passengers

Очень мало станций в Новосибирске! Хорошо , что есть ещё городские электрички! Спасибо за видео. С удовольствием посмотрела. Я очень люблю Новосибирск. Когда я приезжаю в него и сажусь на метро то чувствую себя как то по особенному. Новосибирск единственный город в Сибири где есть метро.

Here's hoping those trams get a new life, restored and serving the public well. Also those big roads with almost no restrictions to drivers look hazardous to both pedestrians and public transport... Kudos from Lisboa, Portugal.

Theese metro consists are so nostalgic to me. I live in Hungary, that was part of the CCCP for a while and metro line 2 and 3 used to have theese metros. They unfortunately got rid of them but its really nice to see them.

Thanks for the great video and greetings from Prague. We've never been part of the USSR, but of course we share some of the Soviet transportation mindset heritage. Much of what's been mentioned in the video has also happened here, only years earlier. The good news is that the trend is reversible and there can indeed be a transit renaissance once the local government and public support gain a critical mass. When the Prague Metro was being built in the 1970s and 80s, tram lines in the city center were removed and branches that ran parallel to the metro were scheduled for removal as well. 40 years later, the first such branch is being restored and tram tracks are about to return to the Wenceslas Square and the central train station. Our understanding of urban mobility is different than it was in the 70s and I believe a positive shift can also happen in Novosibirsk and other Russian cities, even if constrained by budget and the perception of the car as a status symbol in all post-communist countries. Good luck!

We also have a lot of Czech left, for example, even in Moscow there are still Tatra T3 trams, albeit in small numbers, but I will miss when these beautiful trams leave Moscow for the small cities of Russia

Those are some beautiful metro stations.

I’m from St. Petersburg and it was fun watching this informative video about your home city, we share some commonalities in terms of metro and trams. Of course it is difficult to compare St. Petersburg to Novosibirsk simply due to the budget differences and size of city center/population, but we too have a decent amount of shitty rails and transport problems which feel like they could have been fixed a long time ago if it was profitable for them to do so (money seems to magically “disappear”.... you know what I’m talking about lol). So thanks for making this video, it would be also interesting to find out about your local natural areas of interest, perhaps a couple places that I could stay at when visiting Novosibirsk in the future. I currently live between Sarasota, Florida (USA) and St.Petersburg, Russia (my home town) between which I travel on a yearly basis since my family is semi-divided between the two sides of the world.

Hi! West Siberia is mostly plain steppe, so the biggest nature attraction of Novosibirskaya oblast' is Vasyugan Swamp, which is more an extreme off-road and survival experience rather than something to see. Everyone from the region goes to Altai mountains, that's our primary travel destination.

I hope that by the end of 2022, streetcar rails will have been properly restored at least in the left bank area of the city. Well, speaking of Vasyugan wetlands, I have always thought that the most section of them lies farther north in Tomskaya oblast. So I would hardly recommend considering looking for them in Novosibirskaya oblast. Yet, Novosibirskaya oblast does have some natural attractions, such as waterfalls and picturesque minor ridges in the south-eastern part of it.

Thanks for making videos like this! I love trains, trams, metros, and Russia is super interesting to me. So naturally I love watching this video and the fact that it's a city (capital) in Siberia, made it much more interesting too! Now I can see a lil bit more of the lesser explored parts of Russia, which would've been otherwise hard to do, to visit IRL (which I still hope I can do one day!). Also, despite all the negatives of the Soviet government, they sure know how to design amazing metro/train stations! Oh, and I love the old-school but super durable red trams the most (especially from the way you talk about how seeing in the cold dark morning brightens your day).

Btw I am from Indonesia and I am interested if Russia try to move it's capital to central Eurasia? Because I see a lot of inequality in Siberia, especially Far East :( Looking at the geopolitics on where China become so strong, influential in Far East and demonstration of Far East Russians to have better economy makes me think that Russia should move it's capital. But of course, maybe a lot of Russians didn't support this even though there are a lot of cities in middle of Siberia that capable for becoming economy capital, such as Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, or even Vladivostok! Yeah, I hope Russia becoming a better country, had decentralized development and can keep it's sovereignity from foreign dominations. Hope you get 1 Million subscribes 👋😃

Thank you! 😃 I agree with you on the decentralization part, such a big country can’t be governed by one man from one place. But it really won’t have much sense to have the capital of Russia in Siberia, it is poorly communicated and harsh to live, and will probably forever remain that way. It honestly has little sense to have such big cities like Novosibirsk too, challenges of maintaining a megalopolis in Siberia aren’t really worth it, and modern siberian cities only grew up because of the lack of decentralization. There are so many dead rural localities in Siberia that were prosperous lands in the XIX century. Anyway, thank your for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

There’s some seriously high quality filming in this (and all your other) vids plus a useful, clear and listener-friendly commentary. You’re right about KTM5 cars, they certainly have character! I thought Romanian secondary systems (Galati, Braila etc) were unkempt until I saw these. KT5s and Konstantinos 105ns obviously have the same design philosophy, even if more modern systems, namely add angled ends to a box on a pair of bogies. But if they work, why not. Great work. Look forward to more.

I rode the Metro over the river in Novosibirsk and found the covered bridge interesting. I also road the KMP5 tram in Krasnoyarsk, and I knew that was special too, but didn't know its history. I learned about that in the KMP5-specific video on this same channel.

Great video! The metro is very good, stations are much nicer than most found on European capital cities, very well done! Trains look simple yet effective and durable. The tram system is wonderful! Please, people of Novosibirsk keep and improve your tram system! in most cities in Europe, trams were torn to make way for automobile in the postwar. It was a tragic mistake, and will cost us a lot to revert and return the cities to the citizens. Porto has a few lines of historic trams, mostly built in the early XX century. They were kept running at the center of the city and most people love them. Some have more than 100 years of uninterrupted service.
