Yasss it's even the version with the undivided window at front, my favorite!!... I need to go back to Szeged...

I read "Taliban trolleybus" bc I am so stressed right now

I know im asking alot, but please update your daugavpils video! The changes are done as far as ive told and they're super big changes at that! Also daugavpils is planning to implement a digital ticketing system like in tallinn, same in liepaja!

As Tallinn was not always clear on what to do with its trolleybuses, I truly hope that they WILL be back in 2026. Nice video! 🙂👍

You should create a community discord server! Also by the way the first low floor trams have been launched on the fully overhauled line 7 in riga!

Also for extra here are the routes that have been replaced with buses: 2 Mustamäe - Estonia (Estonia or “Estonia theater” is very close to Kaubamaja) Interstingly, the overhead wires of route 2 remain, because they can be used if there is a power outage, since a street in Mustamäe where the wires run from they connect routes 3 and 4 and 1 and 5 6 Väike-Õismäe (district in Tallinn) - Kaubamaja 7 Väike-Õismäe - Balti jaam 8 Vabaduse väljak (“Freedom square”, also close to Estonia and Kaubamaja) - Väike-Õismäe 9 Keskuse - Kopli (a district in Tallinn)

I life in walking distance to one of its stations and I absolutely support it, but it is way too slow! It is slower than the bus it replaces. Due to its super tight turns and frequent stops it is excruciatingly slow. It sadly cannot compete on speed with cars. Its so frustrating to sit in the light rail seeing cars go by at twice the speed.

This line was actually designed as a light rail line in the 1990's, but lack of commitment to development and auto-centric mindset delayed it and a trunk bus line was built as a stopgap measure. So Jokeri wasn't really designed as an answer to congestion per say. Of course now that the initial stretch has been converted, it has elevated the capacity potential in the corridor.

Big thabjs for the usually great video! 😊 Being there a year ago I was quite curious about that system, because i honestly had no info about it (i didn't know it existed 😅) Great to hear that there's a bright future for that network!

The only thing I don't understand, is that Western Europe makes trolleybus a future vehicle, as some cities in Swiss or Austria already taking every bus out of service and replacing them with trolleybus... I think Kaunas is the only Baltic trolleybus network city, that still has plans to expand trolleybus networth... By the way, if the city with ONLY 16 Km. of overhead wires makes the city with only 6 km of wires, so what is the point of even having trolleybuses as they mostly will serve as an electric buses.

Great pronouncing btw

BTW: professors and scientists at Otaniemi had been furiously against this project... those trams interfere a lot with the electron microscopes used at Otaniemi University laboratories... all the ground vibrations caused by track and trams...

Well, it might move a lot of people, but not so sure how well it is executed. It didn't take the existing previously working car traffic to account that well and now causes delays and jams due to poorly timed traffic lights.

Line 5 was my route between TalTech university and the railway station to get home for the weekend :D

Faster than walking, slower than jogging. Great success -Finland

I must remind you, everything is an if, if it reopens, if it gets repaired, if we'll see trolleybuses exist in Tallinn again. I'll personally do everything in my power to see the system exist again, I assure you that you don't have to worry too much, the TLT director has also promised to re-alive the system after a couple of years and thinks of trolleys as a good and a cheaper (also bigger capacaty) alternative to electric buses. Btw, electric buses are rather a trouble at the moment here in Tallinn😂 I also have to point this out.... Rick, when you pronounce "Estonia", please do so with double o creating something like Esstooonia - that's how we call the stop / terminus and the opera theatre:) Thank you for this wonderful overview, it was definitely interesting and let's hope to see this system reopen! - Aaron, @tallinn_trams (IG) admin:)

Both current older second generation and 3rd generation Solaris Trollino have been modernised and have betries and upgraded interior and destination display, some even new motors and pantographs, also these trolleybuses have been tested in Lasnamäe by driving only on betteryes, so Tallinn already has some form of autonomous trolleybuses, other thing I wonder is what will be the new models of trolleybuses Solaris Trollino IV, new Škodas 32Tr built by SOR or SMT more exotic like before tested in Tallinn? Bi-articulated Solaris Trollino 24 MetroStyle.

Wow thank you so much for this video 🥰 Once again a super video🙂

Also quick note: Trollibuss is technically correct but everyone just says Troll

Great video Dronthego. Even though I’m a train fan, I might just have to do a final run and video on this

Interesting, hope they actually carry through and don't just replace 'em with buses.

An excellent video, thank you. I’m an Aussie, and grew up in Melbourne which now holds the title for the largest tram network in the world. Having said that, Melbourne’s ridership is not even close to that of Budapest. I visited Budapest for two weeks in 2018, and spent about four hours each day riding the trams and Metro. Melbourne could learn much from the effective way Budapest runs its trams, and as a tram fan, I made sure to experience all types and subtypes of tram. A wonderful experience, thank you for explaining much of what I didn’t realise to begin with.

Very interesting, thank you. I grew up in Melbourne, Australia, so I’ve been spoilt for trams!

А конкретно Буда или Пешт, какой берег ?

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.

Its slow. You can pretty much bike faster considering you avoid walking and waiting for the tram.

It can be good if you don't live nearby and have to listen to the loud noise caused by the trolley About news from Helsinki: 17.7.2024 "The mystery that plagues Pikaratika cannot be solved even with an axe Kaupunkiliikenne Oy has still not been able to find out the root causes of the light rail noise problem. The problem that became a topic of conversation in the spring has been tried to be solved in the past by greasing the rails. Residents along the route have described the shrill noise as tormenting."

I think "incredibly well executed" is a bit of an overstatement from someone who has actually used it and lives close by. It has some good things of course but here are some negatives: 1. There have been many times that the whole line is just not moving because of a big snow storm, even though it's only been running for half a year or something so far, so I expect only more outages to come. 2. The tracks/wheels already squeak a lot when going into turns and this causes unpleasant noise to neighborhoods that it passes through. 3. The time it took me to get to university has doubled compared to taking the 550 bus. Part of this is because they cancelled line 550 completely and the tram line is a 10 min walk away, but even with the same walk it would still be slower because it stops at every stop 800m apart (on average) and never goes that fast. The benefit of not being stuck in traffic is completely wasted because you're stuck at stations. In my opinion they should've kept the buses running but at less frequent intervals, because the trams have already been overcrowded as well.

Bitch please, as a person living in Helsinki, the Jokeri is a fucking dumb thing that should've never been done. City officials got their bribes... That thing is one huge piece of shit that doesn't serve anybody... This video is a waste.

One of the trams crashed into a car 2 and a half months ago in Pitäjänmäki and I was supposed to travel to school on that same tram, but I missed it by about 3 minutes because I forgot to take my laptop charger and had to return to get it. (No one was seriously hurt in the accident)

The tram line will now run every 6 minutes starting from Aug 12 2024.

I seriously don't know what was wrong with the buses that they had to spend truck loads of money on this tram line that is NOT better than the busline was. I don't know where the information for this video is coming from, but it just sounds like city propaganda. The real reality is not as rosy as presented here.

They just followed the example of City of Tampere infrastructure projects from the last decade...

Another nice little detail to point out is that the Eastern part of the light rail runs along the same route as one of the old cargo and freight rail lines, which ran through Viikki and down to Herttoniemi. Around 30-40 years ago and further back in history, Helsinki had several industrial and commercial seaports along its coastline, and each one of them had their own assigned railway stations. Now that all that has been centralized to Vuosaari Harbor, the decades old large rail network, scattered around the city, was gradually decommissioned and eventually scrapped. But now, this one old route has been, in a sense, resurrected to rail traffic.

This is probably the best pronunciation of Finnish names by a foreigner I've ever heard

And people who clearly got their driver's license from a cereal box keep driving on the Jokeri's rails 🤷‍♂

Helsinki looked at Stockholm’s ”Tvärbanan” and got inspiration for their own transport project, good.

This is not a success! There's many crossings with other traffic, even without traffic lights. And several collisions have occurred. There should be no crossings at all.

I live next to this. I have never used it but I shall, after watching this video :)

Asema is just station in general not _raiway_station.

the rail is called "fast rail" but it is incredibly slow, even compared to busses.
