Well done, Tampere. Something that Vilnius could easily have if not for our lack of vision and backward politicians.

Exactly! Tampere shows it can be done!

The routing of lines 1 and 3 was actually changed this summer. Before this line 1 went from Kaupin Kampus (shown as TAYS) to Sorin Aukio, and line 3 from Hervanta to Santalahti. This was done in preparation of extending the line from Sorin Aukio south to Pirkkala and East from TAYS to Linnainmaa. Also TAYS stands for TAmpereen Yliopistollinen Sairaala (in english Tampere University Hospital)

Yes, even some older parts of websites were not yet updated 😁

It's great that Tampere decided to build a tram network! Beautiful trams running very frequently. The city also looks really nice and modern. Great video as always!

Indeed, very good execution! Thank you!!

Really like that you cover so many underrepresented systems. These trams look great (like all Škoda trams, IMO)- especially when they get up to speed.

Thank you! Yes, they are very well designed!

They desided not to use same numbers in bus lines and tram lines. So those tram lines 1 and 3 are replacing bus lines 1 and 3.

Ah I see! Thank you for the addition!

Ey, as a Finn i can confirm that they are being used, this summer i came from the Train Station and decided to go to the tram. I came to the tram and they were overcrowded. (as of this summer lol) Also we needed to do a refund thing bec of "C vyöhyke" and one "Nyssemies äijä joka näytti viralliselta" (Nysse (bus in tampere dialect)man dude who looked official) and he said that test driving to Lentäväniemi will come this autumn.

Was waiting for thsi video and I'm not disappointed :) Gotta properly visit Tampere one day

Thank you! And yes, Tampere is definitely worth a visit!

Fun fact: The X34 Trams are potentially being extended to 4 cars, as the platforms at stops were made longer for futureproofing.

I am here now, einjoying these trams :) A good service.

Thank you!! The video of Helsinki will come later this year 😁

Tampereen Ratikka and Škoda continue to work on innovation and today released a video of the testing of autonomous depot operation. The relevant video can be found on the @SkodaTransportation channel.

Thank you!! 😁 They will come for sure 😉

Remember traveling in 2010 to Tampere and wishing that city has any sort of rail public transport. Finally! :)

Example for many other cities, that do not have something yet

Please make an update on daugavpils trams! Pretty much the whole system has been renewed, the new route 5 has been opened and all the stops have been modernised aswell the new locally built trams are running!

I have it in my mind!

They look so good and what a system to be, I have high hopes for their system!

@realdronthego

Ай бұрын

Exactly, a lot of good stuff happening. Hopefully the extensions will get approved by both municipality councils!

new tram systems have very big advantage in terms of vehicles because they dont need to adjust the length, width or space between boogies of their trams to some old parts of the infrastructure. these skodas x34 would be great for example to brnos line 8 (where is running its little version skoda 45t) but they wouldnt fit in some stops or in some parts of tracks in curves😥

Indeed, although the 45Ts are also very good trams. I really liked their ride quality as well. It is very good that Brno is getting more of them!

Tight curves on old system are the enemy of modern trams 😅 this new generation of Škoda trams wouldn't even exist if Helsinki didn't get screwed over by Bombardier with trams that cracked from the tight turns in Helsinki's tram system.

Wonderful video! I love the tram system there, it is a wonderful combination of trams and light rail. Maybe for the future: next year, Düsseldorf (Germany) is opening its light rail section to the airport. Maybe a video could be a possibility then

Thank you! This system is very good indeed! About next year, my plan is slowly getting fuller 😁

News from Tampere 13.9.2023 The Tampere tram became a surprising environmental nuisance in Hervanta - "It's now being talked about everywhere" Along the trolley route that goes around the city, there is one sure topic of conversation when neighbors meet: the loud noise caused by the trolley route The Tampere tram company also receives a lot of feedback about this. "you listen to the noise, even though you are already used to it in some way. Especially sometimes you notice a loud and long-lasting noise. I hope that something better than the current noise reduction will be found soon", hopes Reino Hildén. lives in Etelä-Hervanta and sums up the wishes of thousands of other Tampere residents.
