There's just something about "chandeliers in a subway station" that makes it seem so authentically "Russian".

It's not a bad idea for smaller cities, underground tram is faster than street trams, but cheaper than metro. Similar concept was originally considered for Prague but later it was changed in favour of a regular metro.

They were really ahead of their time with that metrotram concept.

I love this channel, these videos are so genuine and about simple yet very uncommon subjects. Its very interesting

Thanks for your videos! I love that you are telling the history of the stories behind the places, and breathing life into lifestyles that weren't all that long ago. I just found your channel, and am binging on your content. Spacibo bolshoe u prodolzhaite pozhaluista!

We have the very same system in Cologne: trams that go underground in the city center but otherwise drive above ground. Just a few stations are "subway" stations. But it seems enough for a city of that size

Hello. Our Czech Tatras T3. 👍🏻

This reminds me of Zurich where they started building a metro but the population declined it in a vote and now some tram routes have a few underground tram stops. The trams cross over an "X" before entering the tunnels to have the doors open on the right side when entering the station.

Wow! Great informative video. Also I loved the editing and the ending .

Greetings.

Beautifully informative video as ever, your channel is Amazing!

They have nice chandeliers in their stations. Very fancy!

Amazing statue at end.. Wow...

Great videos! Be safe and keep on trucking!

Great video and good to see something a bit different but still train related. One thing it seems nobody asked you in the comments - how did you get the footage outside the train as it was moving through the tunnels? Know who you are and what you normally get up to on freight trains, perhaps this is a dumb question but I would have thought it would be harder to do without getting caught on such a system.

The older (?) "trams" have similarities with Tatra T3 ...

So much infrastructure compared to what the USA has today 🥺 we once had plenty of trains to get around city's most of it's long gone torn out, street cars are only left in a few places, if you're lucky you can still see old tracks and what's left of the pantagraph wires , a former politician in control took out a lot of rail systems in the 80s they are now trying not put back into service what they can problem is most of it's been completely torn out and turned into walking paths way to expensive to put rail back in and will anger people that want to use it for walking 🥺 the more I watch Russian YT to more I wish I lived there you have a lot not love for the things that make it great. Loved the video keep em coming..

Looks very good, but with amazingly few people onboard?

YAAAAY!! Volgograd!! I LOVE YOU!!

USA: "We need public transportation between here and here" Planner: "A bus should do just fine" RUSSIAN FEDERATION PLANNER: "Nyet! Make tram, bus and railway and electric bus between those points!"
