    The metro station/ pedestrian underpass and the abandoned metro bridge tells me that sufficient money was budgeted to complete the line but most of it was lost to corruption.

      Not just corruption, but also complete chaos
      Funding was approved and planning & prep undertaken from 1986; the start of underground construction began in 1992 only a couple months after the collapse of the USSR. The last significant work to be done was the completion of the bridge in 2005

      I doubt the V3A-93 will run for many more years in Bucharest... the oldest is only 31 years old, while these KTM-5 are at least 10 years older. Of course, the Tatra T4R (which is quite similar with the T3SU that can stil be found in Russia) could last for another 50 years with proper paint job every 10 years or so.

    @karabasbarabas1652 2 месяца назад +6

    Если бы Москва не высасывала как пылесос всю прибыль омских предприятий-в Омске давно уже было бы построено метро. Строительство метро остановилось, когда Сибнефть (на налоги которой и строилось метро и штаб-квартира которой находилась в Омске) не "выкупили" бы у Абрамовича и не объединили с Роснефтью. Штаб-квартира которой была в Москве. С тех пор все доходы от омской нефтедобычи переработки потекли в Москву... Большинство омских предприятий зарегистрированы в Москве. И налоги все уплывают туда. Поэтому Омск такой нищий. А насчёт ненужности метро в Омске может писать только тот, кто не знает что такое омский климат.. И тот, кто никогда в январе на пронизывающим любую одежду ветру не стоял на омской остановке в ожидании трамвая. А так всё правильно. Комфорт-только для москвичей. А за МКАДом живёт, по мнению руководства страны, только скотина... Деньги, конечно нужно обязательно отправлять в европейские банки. А не тратить их на развитие инфраструктуры своих (или для правительства не своих?) городов...

      Volgograd has a tram tunnel, so the idea isn't unheard of in Russia. But the existing tunnel segments are fairly short and disconnected, and building the tunnel portals and on-ramps for trams to go through would be very expensive for a city that can barely maintain its current trackage.

  • @transportromania
    @transportromania 2 месяца назад

    The footage looked so familiar... I was just expecting to hear Egor Letov any moment. The "original" video made me start listening to his songs.
    From what I see, the tram system in Omsk is in a very poor condition. It looks good for tram enthusiasts, but I'm sure the locals wouldn't mind getting new buses instead of the ancient KTM-5. The voice-over is just a constant irony. Even the original video had its dose of irony, ending with GO's "Long Happy Life", where the "long and happy life" takes place "Among the identical walls, In the faraway coffin-like houses", so it's just an illusion of happiness of the (post-)communist world (I don't speak Russian, I had to use Google Translate, so maybe my analysis is not 100% correct). Grajdanskaia Oborona had a lot of "anti-system" songs, even in the Soviet times (that's why Letov was, at some point, sent to a mental asylum).

    • @RailwaysoftheWorld1
      @RailwaysoftheWorld1  2 месяца назад

      That's very interesting to hear! I am very glad I was able to hook multiple non-Russian speakers to Letov 😀 It's a pity the copyright system punishes using song fragments on RUclips, even though in the vast majority of cases it would only promote artists.
      Long and happy life is also reached "through the snowdrifts, through the mud, through the dirt", which describes the street where the tram is going rather precisely.

    • @transportromania

      @@RailwaysoftheWorld1 I downloaded (from RUclips) a lot of his songs and watched most of the live concerts recordings available. I'm sure his discography is way larger than what we can find on RUclips. At some point, I was listening them loud in my car, but now it is not such a good idea to listen to Russian music loud, even if the singer was quite a critic to the system (I'm sure he would have also be against the current Russian leadership if he would have been still alive)... I mean, there's a song where he's comparing some "part" of his body with Stalin and Lenin, it takes great courage to sing something like this in the Soviet times.

      There's also some parallels in the way Cincinnati lost its streetcars. The Cincinnati Street Railway deferred maintenaince during the 30s and 40s, until the streetcars where such a rickety catastrophe in the 50s that few people lamented the move to busses and trolleybusses.
