Wow, if I had a nickel for every city with a rarely used light rail spur to Penn Station, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that there's two of them, right? (Pittsburgh is the other city for those wondering)

Surprisigly!!! 😂😂😂 So nothing in South America sopposed to be modern. 😂😂😂

This was so confusing when I couldn't find the tram stop at street level at Midi/Zuid

São Paulo resident here! Nice explanation 🇧🇷🙏

Omg, American people lives in a bubble

nice shot on min 1:15 ... 🍆 now that's what brazil is most famous for xD

Also, its safe to say, never take the subway from republica and sé or anything in that "range" when it is a weekday and between 6am-9am and 16h30 to 19h30ish. Unless you want to fight for your life and be squished by tons of strangers.

Your Portuguese pronouciation is perfect!!

SHOW 👏👏👏

"was this really necessary" ... well yeah it's necessary or they wouldn't have done it. There have been people fall/get stuck between cars and on the tracks. In the same way that warning labels on packages are only there because someone did something that would require a warning label.

Hello, baltimore native here and transit rider.There have been many Proposed and now recently abandoned expansions. The most recent one that has had no updates was a spur to "Baltimore Peninsula" (Port Covington) in South Baltimore. There is ROW to the area and there were some public talks about it to serve the newly built area to serve the Under Armour headquarters, new upscale condos and apartments but I haven't see anything new about it. Light Rail is long, long, long overdue for southbound (Annapolis) and new westbound (Columbia) services. Cold Spring lane was an afterthought. There is a large newly built apartment complex that could have worked in conjunction with the MTA to build a walkway a short distance to the station, bypassing the need for residents who so choose from going all the way around to get to the station. Same as the condos on the other side of the highway there. That stion is mainly used by students at the nearby Polytechnic Institute during the school year. The track you pointed out is actually the CSX line and the Howard Street Tunnel. The Camden Line travels due southwest closer the the Ravens stadium. As far as the bell is concerned. it's only supposed to be should be sounded when the train enters the station and sound twice just before leaving. The fare machines are not accepting credit due to fare machine upgrades. Don't get me started on the frequent track maintenance and bus bridges. I avoid the light rail during those times. Wait times can be over an hour long.

if you take into account the train lines. São Paulo's metro have over 350km of tracks

I used to live in midtown and worked in Hunt Valley, it was very useful and allowed me not to own a car while I lived in the city. But it was only useful because I was in the heart of midtown 😂

As a little kid, this was my favorite thing in the world. I think the different colors of the interiors correlate to the age of the people mover, as some are still the original ones. And the originals were built by Chrysler

Portugal, Metro, Superficie e sob túneis.

Santo Amaro Station previously had no safety doors and was operated by a different train model, which was slightly lower than other platforms. Therefore, small ramps had to be built to compensate for the newer model.

Love how I've lived here in SP my entire life so these Metros were nothing out of the ordinary for me, but somehow people from outside actually admire it.

And the most important thing in this subway is that there are no rats🤣

Oh really ?? SO Brazil has Metro Underground systems ??? Excuse my ignorance, but I thought that Brazil had only rivers and boats to transport those indigenous people in the Amazon. But they have several modern Metro systems in many different cities,,,,, that not even need the MIND THE GAP like London Underground, with huge gaps between the trains and the platforms, or the PICKPOCKETS PICKPOCKETS like in the METRO in Paris.

"please ignore how i obtained this footage 😂"

Haliç station on the Istanbul M2 line is also located over a river!

Como assim, ‘surprising’?

The beds in 8:20 are for homeless people to sleep on cold winter days. many spaces in metro stations are open for them at night

Probably the best Portuguese pronunciation by an American

Seoul metrô also uses a geographic precise map for u to locate exactly where in the city you are

For the Q line station, it's weird seeing a NYC subway station that isn't just 7-foot ceilings built two feet below the road, and concrete and tiles everywhere.

if abandoned stations count as stations, then wouldn’t the abandoned lower 42nd St. station be the shortest

Very informative. I wasn't aware Sao Paolo had a subway. Its very modern. Like the stationary doors for safety.

Shouldve titled this "Gringo shocked this latin american city's public trasportation is good since it contradicts his prejudice"

audio?

0:10 route 201

i suspect the pandemic etc knocked holes through projects across the nation.

there are buses connecting most well travelled metro stops. they also had municipal support that encouraged shopping and nearby apartments. its now 2024, is this stop still so sparsely used?

That Z train you got on looks remarkably similar to Washington DC's 7000-series trains. The "next stop" board looks nearly identical, as well as the LED screens that say "THIS IS... (station)". I bet that they were made by the same company.

Great video ❤

Você é brasileiro?

Apenas uma observação sobre o vídeo. É proibido filmar no metrô.

You said there is not a highway under the pedestrian bridge, what was that road going under you called the Dulles Greenway a toll road.

One thing I never got about the Z train, is if it operates in one direction only at rush hours, or not. Does it run to Jamaica Center from Broad St the mornings, and vice versa in the evenings?

Just to note: the plane mates are abbreviated with the initials of US states. And as an employee still working at IAD, United's terminal no longer has the pass of being called "temporary". Compared to the first terminal, their terminal looks like a jail cell. The lack of windows and cramped spaces with little natural light getting in is complete bonkers IMO. Not only that, I have some misgivings about how MWAA ground control handles flights with this ongoing construction that has shut down the fuel system for half of terminal one until January. Specifically, my beef is their continued reluctance to put flights flying over 11 hours on gates with no access to working fuel pits. I heard recently there's been equipment issues so any flight being put on that side will likely be leaving late; when MWAA could just stick the planes at the remote stands and get everything done from there. Also there's the fact since Lufthansa is currently bringing their A380 here, MWAA had the BRILLIANT idea to put it on a gate the plane doesn't actually fit; which is causing further headaches because we now have a gate that can be used for an A350 or 777 being blocked and only a A320 or 737 can fit there. Again, it's because of MWAA's refusal to make use of the remote stands.

Taipei Metro also has umbrella renting

please explain your choice for the word "surprisingly".

A shame, if you’d gone a few months earlier you could’ve visited Games and Stuff. They moved further down Richie Highway but it’s an awesome store.

It’s really not a good airport experience, from the signage to the building navigation to the people carriers. You can’t claim something is a “lounge” when it traps people like sardines. Seriously why do those still exist? The WORST is when you get off an International flight and just want to stretch your legs and move, and you get stuck in a slow line leading to being stuck in the people carrier. Just let people walk. I would rather walk outside than be trapped in that thing. Also, they should construct a connection down the middle of the terminals to make a design more like ATL. Or do nearly anything to improve what’s there now.

Maybe only the United States and Africa are surprised; the rest of the world's metros are similar or better.

The mobile lounges are a part of Dulles’ 60+ year history. They date back to when the airport first opened and there’s nothing like them anywhere else. The problem is they aren’t enough to serve the modern infrastructure needs of Dulles, but are too historic to get rid of. It also doesn’t help that the rail system that would replace them is far too expensive to build.

Just some additional info on the aerotrains. The new concourse under construction will be the new C and D gates. There is already an E gates station past C gates and will be built once the new C/D concourse is done. The train system is designed to harbor even more stations, given all the land that the Dulles airport has. It is designed to be very expandable, just needs the money. The plan is to eventually phase out the mobile lounges and solely use the trains. It also uses a separate computer network to the rest of the airport as a Safeguard too, during the recent antivirus patch that went wrong, the trains were not hit and jept running due to being a separate entity.

If you saw Bethesda 10 years ago vs now you’d be so surprised. If they built this stations, they must be projecting growth. Maybe the area will be rezoned.

I live in DC and sometimes work in Baltimore by Camden Yards and I get out of work late so I’m unable to take the Camden Line MARC so I’d love a connection to Penn Station but it is not easy and safety is a concern.

Thanks for visiting my country! Hope u appreciated it
