Welcome to Kilometers In Transit
I heard they're doing a French version of Spiderr-Man, the mc's name is Kilometres Immorales.
a swedish/scandinavian mile(mil) is 10km
Welcome to Kilometers In *Public Transport*
Parsecs in Transit
The Swedish word for train, "tåg" (pronounced "tohg"), is directly related to the English word "tug" - a locomotive pulls/"tugs" the cars... Same way that the English word "train" comes from the Latin word for to pull/drag.
Ooh, interesting! Thank you!
And its related to German Zug, Low German Tog, Danish Tog of course
If it was consistent across all Germanic languages, English would say Tug indeed and Dutch would say Teug instead of Trein
The wind turbines that you saw south of the bridge at 1:40 is the Lillgrund Wind Farm which is Sweden's largest offshore wind farm! It has 48 wind turbines, can meet the domestic electricity demand of more than 60,000 homes, and it's the perfect place for a wind farm as average wind speeds there are 8 to 10 meters per second! The Øresund Bridge was designed by Jørgen Nissen and Klaus Falbe Hansen from Ove Arup and Partners, and Niels Gimsing and Georg Rotne. Ove Arup and Partners/Arup Group was established in 1946 by Sir Ove Arup who was the design engineer for the Sydney Opera House (while Jørn Utzon was the Sydney Opera House architect). Besides the bridge, they've also helped work on projects like the Gautrain in South Africa, Apple Park in Cupertino, NYC's Fulton Center and Second Ave Subway, Singapore Flyer, Las Vegas's High Roller, Riyadh's Kingdom Centre, Beijing's Water Cube and Bird's Nest Stadium, and Munich's Allianz Arena!
The light installation you saw at Triangeln station at 2:17 is called Track Lights by Christian Partos and they're triggered and controlled by the arrivals and departures of the trains! The movements of the lights have been programmed to imitate the flocking behavior of small insects that come into the station when a train has left the platform and flee for the darkness of the tunnel again when a new train arrives. Quite cool! And I'm glad Aleena got you into Eurovision now, it's so fun because anything goes in Eurovision whether it's babushkas in 2012 or a yodeling Romanian in 2017! My top favorites for 2024 are Estonia, Croatia, Netherlands, Finland, Armenia, and Spain (fun fact, Spain's 2022 entry was a Cuban singer!). Ladaniva just said "F it, let's make the most Armenian thing possible" and I love it, I think of it as a response to Azerbaijan in a way, to say "We're still here and proud". And the message of Armenia's song is to not let girls lose sight of who they are, to follow their true calling and be their authentic selves! For Estonia, the instrument they play is the talharpa historically played in Estonian-Swede areas, and the dance they do is a folk dance from the island of Vormsi!
Hiyo, Avery! How come I see you everywhere, lol?
I got crazy nostalgia watching this. I studied abroad at Lund University in the summer of 2019, and seeing the city again totally took me back. It's also super interesting to see all the new development in the last 5 years or so. That particle accelerator science lab was in the middle of nowhere back then, and now it looks like they're building a ton around it.
0:49 The idea is that you push down the wooden tray and then the tray table will reveal it self 😄
A bus that looks like a tram....truly "We have a tram at home" energy. That bus was made by Van Hool! Brisbane has bi-articulated buses too (by Swiss HESS AG), but in Brisbane, they actually call it the Brisbane METRO! But hey, at least it doesn't run on tracks! Nancy and Caen in France once had a concept which used Bombardier Guided Light Transit. They're buses that could not only operate independently as a bus but were also capable of turning into trams. So basically a trolleybus (though the Caen ones used a diesel engine to reach the depot) that turned into a tram since they still used overhead wires as a bus. But instead of riding on rails, they run on rubber tires, although guided by a central guidance rail. Because of the fact they didn't really need a guidance rail as it could steer and be operated independently, calling them a tram is quite debatable (especially compared to the Translohr). Caen got rid of theirs in 2017 in favor of a legit tramway, while Nancy ended theirs in March 2023 in favor of bringing back their trolleybuses.
Adelaide has something similar too called the O-Bahn which are legitimate buses that run on their own concrete tracks that opened back in 1986. Adelaide's O-Bahn was introduced to service Adelaide's northeastern suburbs, replacing an earlier LRT plan, using German technology. The track is 12 km long, includes three interchanges for buses to exit, and there's anti-car sump busters! But an interesting concept is the Japanese Dual-Mode Vehicle on the Asatō Line in Shikoku. A declining rural population doesn't justify running a normal train in Shikoku, so to attract tourism and help the rural senior population, the Asa Coast Railway Company opted for a bus that doubles as a train (they got a local school to do a drumming thing to play when it switches modes). As the rail is elevated, it can help with rescue during a tsunami.
I recently saw a great video about the Asa Coast Railway Company! The drumming thing was so cute.
Van Hool like the AC Transit buses??? Or a different one?
malmö is the epitome of tram reluctance, they clearly need them but they adamantly REFUSE to build even a single tramway despite their neighbour Lund already doing so, Norrköping already having a tram network, and Uppsala building a new network in just a few years.
This is the third largest city in sweden, and somehow they think trams don't make sense there while they make sense in SMALLER cities, despite the roads actively trying to kill themselves from all the buses clogging them.
0:48 😅you pull down on the wooden part to fold out the tray table. Great to see you enjoyed Skåne!
In Helsingborg, the word “helsing” actually derives from the word “hals”, meaning “neck”, or “narrow strait”. The people living along this strait were referred to as “helsinger”, or “people of the strait”. The Kärnan tower you saw in Helsingborg was part of a much larger Danish fortress. It was surrendered to Sweden as part of the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, retaken by the Danes in 1676 during the Scanian War, and finally returned to Swedish control by the Treaty of Lund in 1679. Charles XI of Sweden ordered most of the fortress demolished because they feared it was exposed to a potential Danish sneak attack, and so the only thing saved from the demolition was the tower. The kanelbulle is the original cinnamon roll as it was invented in Sweden after the First World War, however it wasn't affordable for the majority of the population until the 1950s after WWII as cinnamon and cardamom were pricy so not everyone could afford to bake or purchase these treats. They're a big deal in Sweden as they have a whole kanelbulle holiday every October 4th!
The station building at Lund Central Station was built in the 1850s and opened in 1858, opening the same year as Gothenburg Central and even making it older than Stockholm Central since Stockholm Central opened in 1871! Lund is Sweden's second oldest town/city after Sigtuna. Archeologists date the foundation of Lund to around 990 (until the 1980s, it was once thought it was founded in 1020), when Scania was part of Denmark. From 1103 it was the seat of the Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Lund, and the towering Lund Cathedral was built between 1090 and 1145. The island of Ven off of Landskrona was taken over by Sweden from the Danes in 1658, but the island was not specifically mentioned in the treaty as the Danes considered it part of Zealand and thus still Danish and not Scania. The Swedes did not agree with that of course, and so they sent troops to occupy Ven in May 1658. The transfer to Sweden was confirmed in 1660 by the Treaty of Copenhagen.
Only a true comrade would know so much about world geography and history, unlike us "arrogant and ignorant" capitalist Americans.
explanation about dprk + sweden diplomatic relations neglected :(
The Norwegian skillingsbolle have been baked for about 500 years now, but I'm sure not being able to roll it properly is a massive innovation with no prior art whatsoever.... ;)
7:02 The destination sign says "Love for everyone"
Awww, so cute.
Oh wow, that's awesome!
Must be a Skåne-thing. Have never seen it in Stockholm. ☹️
Helsingor, Denmark is where the actual Elsinore Castle (Kronborg) of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, was set!
Nice little gem of a Scandinavian transit tour!
For your next European trip, Paris is winking seductively at you with many many new transit infrastructure and vehicles to experience, like a literal laundry list or Santa list for foamers : new trams, new metro lines and trains, a new multi-station transit gondola line... plus some busway BRT lines with the Van Hool Excity double bendy bus with Alstom fast ground recharge at stations... A little over 30 kilometers of new lines open this spring (1 tram extension with 7 stations that opened earlier this month, 1 RER tunnel extension with 3 gigantic new stations opening early May, 3 metro extensions of 2 lines with about 15 new stations that will all open before the end of June), plus about 40km in late 2025, and so on basically every year until 2030-2032.
It's Transit-a-palooza !
And it's maybe even a bit overwhelming for foamers. I know I can't wait, and I'm watching the calendar frantically, like a kid waiting for Christmas....
Capacity on the Öresundståg has always been awkward, because they serve so many purposes at once - a busy commuter train from Denmark as far as Lund, an important regional train up the coast to Helsingborg, but also 3-4 hour routes through the country to Kalmar and Karlskrona. And you can't just reassign one of the purple trains, because they aren't adapted for Danish electricity and signals.
(And while Swedish trains drive on the left, the changeover point is the north end of the Malmö tunnel. So in the city, and on the routes to the south of it, they drive on the right like Denmark!)
14:32 there is a roller coaster themed to this in Germany-close to the danish border, and said park was originally built as a Legoland, but that didn't go well-but the train ride is still around from then (obviously no longer Lego-themed)
fun fact: I lost one of those thermacare heat patch thingys on that coaster :D I dunno where it decided to fly off to, but I got on with it firmly on my upper back, and got off without it...
This must've been filmed a while ago, look at how Miles actually has a haircut lol
Miles got to see an X2000 train set while he was in Sweden.
Australia also has a lot of those 14.5m long three-axle single-decker non-articulated buses, referred to as long rigid buses. I believe they are used on commuter bus routes instead of coaches because they are low floor and can accommodate a second door which makes them practical for the suburban end frequent stops.
There are actually plans to build Sweden’s second tallest skyscraper and huge amounts of high rises in that empty area of Lund you passed by - which is quite bizarre for such a small city like Lund. Building permanent transit infrastructure first (even if the area is empty) is such a great way for cities to incentivize long term housing development and being handed contracts for facilities like ESS and MAX IV.
Pretty exciting stuff!
I like how majority of the trains have those buttons you use to open, that's what I like about the Bowdin station, the only one with that button on the blue line
After seeing the bi-articulated buses and trolleybuses in this video, it seems like you need to make a trip to Linz, Austria, which has both of them combined in one vehicle!
Bern, Zürich, St. Gallen, Lucerne, Lausanne, Bratislava, Prague, and Nancy (Proposed, haven’t checked in a while.) (among others) also have bi-articulated trolleybuses. Linz does however have Pöstlingbergbahn, which does definitely make it worth a visit.
I'll come when you get bi-articulated doubledecker trolleybuses.
Joke, I'd love to ride on a trolleybus :)
VERY cool stuff!
As a resident of Boston's South End, I can say we need those on the SL4 and 5 branches of the Silver Lie (also, the Number 1 Bus should run double deckers)
@@roxxma Sucks that those bi-articulated buses can’t be bought with state dollars..
Nice video! I live in Helsingborg. Can see that your trip was in February 2023. Unfortunately the "Öresund runt" ticket was abolished at the end of 2023, since the ferry company was sold to a new operator "Öresundslinjen" and they opted out of all ticket agreements with the regional transit authorities in both countries. So you'll simply have to buy separate tickets, which is more expensive of course.
Oh nooooo! It seemed like that pass was on the rocks for awhile anyway.
Just a note about the ferries. On the upper deck, there is a pub and a restaurant, which is where most people go when they "tura" so that they can eat a full meal and maybe have a bit of pre-party while going back and forth on Öresund. The cafés on the lower deck is more for one-trip passengers.
AFAIK; Lund has a tram-system because of funding and capacity-reasons.
1. The tram replaced a bus-line which was at its maximum use, with full buses basically bunching up at peak-times. So they needed something with a higher capacity.
2. The tram-system is partially funded by the national government. I was told that's kinda new since they usually don't finance local public transport unless it's of "national importance". Essentially that's has historically only been the metro in Stockholm. So, Lund was meant to spearhead for widening what was of national importance since both ESS and MaxIV (the research facilities at the end of the line) are heavily funded by the national government.
Or in other words... Lund is a far more important city than Malmö. ;)
Very interesting, thanks for the context! It's rare and almost exciting (at least from a North American perspective) to see cases where a bus line is upgraded to a tram line due to capacity constraints.
@@MilesinTransit Yeah but it's a common thing around here. In Odense the tram replaced the bus lines 41-44 which were capacity constrained. In Aarhus they replaced thr 1A bus largely on its old corridor. And in Copenhagen the line they're building there will replace the busy 300S bus route.
It's also a little funny since here in Denmark the funding is basically the reverse of what it is in Sweden. Here it is the Light rail systems (and 1 BRT) that have gotten national funding, but the Metro in Copenhagen didn't get any of that. Only state guaranteed loans to be paid back 2/3rds through fare revenue, and 1/3rd through property sales. Though sales have never been profitable enough, causing the Metro system and its financing to spiral into a growth ponzi scheme.
But the right wing still loves it because that let's them tell the public "were giving you all this massive new investment that won't cost a single tax payer dollar."
@@drdewott9154 Don‘t forget the Raide Jokeri in Helsinki, that also replaced the city‘s busiest suburban bus route.
Malmö had a tramway, the last line of which was abolished in 1973, which was the last of the major city tramways to close (Stockholm's closed in 1967). Gothenburg and Norrköping; Stockholm retained a museum line/tourist service, but otherwise abolished all of the tramways, apart from the suburban narrow gauge lines (interurban routes to Lidingö and Saltsjöbaden and the mainline narrow gauge line to and beyond Täby, originally to Norrtälje, all of these served very posh suburban areas.)
I thought Goteborg's tramways are mostly preserved and still in service today, no?
@@jnrfalcon Yes, Gothenburg and Norrköping remain, I forgot to finish the sentence (lol)
You went to Sweden and didn't find an IKEA to have some meatballs??!?!
As a Lundbo myselft I can say that the main station does have a indoor waiting area it's just really hard to find if you don't know where to look
Ohhh, huh! Guess I missed it.
My hometown of Rimini, Italy, has the same VanHool Exquicity buses you saw in Malmo, but in the trolleybus version and with just two sections, as I think it's illegal to have buses longer than 18.60 m in Italy. They're used on a totally segregated route with light rail-style stops which is proving to be really popular.
Lund host a really big university, one of the most important in the whole of Europe: it makes sense to have a light rail line to connect it to the city centre and the station.
A trolleybus BRT?? That's AWESOME!
@@MilesinTransit Yeah, I don't know if the term exists, but "heavy TRT" may be the right way to define it! It even has a Wikipedia page in English:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metromare
I love them and I have a folder about them
🚅🚈🚞🚝🚂🚃🚄
trains, trams, aren't they all beautiful
come take a ride! (at folder 2) :))
3:37 that train to Stockholm is the the high speed train in Sweden. And in the early 2000s it went on tour in the US
It was 1993 actually, see Peter Dibble‘s great documentary.
A friend who works for SJ recently worked a train with a power car that toured the U.S. He sent me a photo of the commemorative plaque in it. 🙂
Also, you should've included some transit in Copenhagen. Apart from the commuter rail in the previous video, the automated metro is also an interesting transit system.
Stay tuned, we did a video about the metro that will come soon (probably last in the series but we'll see)!
Haha, my friend and I did the same thing using the same ticket, following almost the exact same itinerary! The only difference is once we crossed back to Denmark, we rode a bit of the Lokaltog network
Alternate routes from Helsingør via Hillerød or even the north shore of Sjælland.
The area that the Landskrona Trolleybus ends at 11:50 is near where a stub-end branch rail line to the city terminated. The rail line was moved to allow through-running from Malmö/Lund to Helsingborg and the Trolleybus was added to shuttle passengers into the city.
awesome looking regional trains, love the utilitarian feel. They don't need to be fancy, just comfortable enough and most importantly FREQUENT! Those biarticulated buses are so sweet I wish we had them in the US. I can think of like 6 routes in my city those would do great on since they get so packed.
edit: also, I'll stand by my opinion that trolleybus wires actually ENHANCE the character of a street by supplementing that feeling of enclosure that a consistent streetwall facade gives. They help a street feel cozy and alive in the same way string lights can in certain applications
dunno, X60, they're not very comfortable, and frequency is pretty lacking. I agree about the trolley wires. I don't understand what people have against them or overhead wires of tramways tbh
@@reinatakagawa X61s are apparently better than X60s with bathroom xDD, but yeah, if you ride Skane's longest route, that's almost 4 hour in a hard-ish seat, not great for comfort. But most people won't ride that for long anyways...
@@jnrfalcon SJ's X40's are so very uncomfortable, fine for a 1 hour ride, but riding them all the way across country, makes you really sore. Hardish seats. I reckon riding the new Stadler units is similar--not good for more than 2 hours
@@reinatakagawa I've tried Mälartåg's Kiss on a short trip. It was fine. But I can't comment on long trips. But the interior was very stylish
You actually nailed the Scanian pronunciation of "MAX fyra" lol
I was going off of the announcement, but I'm glad it worked out!
6:40 Fun fact, Malmö USED to have a tram system called the MSS, Malmö stads spårvägar! It was in use from 1905 to 1973 :)
So did Helsingborg (HSS), from 1903 to 1967.
I volunteer on Djurgårdslinjen, the heritage tram line in Stockholm, and we have a wonderful Malmö car that we operate (car 71, a mustang that's on loan from the Malmö Museum of Technology).
Yes, what you saw in the departure board at Helsingborg was the name of the vessels. The "Tycho Brahe" was named after a Danish astronomer (1546-1601) who built the first modern-style observatory (Uraniborg in Ven Island on the Öresund Strait) in the world (but without telescopes) and was one of the first astronomers to record a supernova. His data was later used by Johannes Kepler to develop his laws of planetary motion.
Me riding the corridor Lund-Landskrona every they it works pretty good seems you were on track 6 most of the time where I also wait every day. If you would have walked to the bottom of that one it would be an indoor waiting hall with some coffee shop and there were also on the other side until it were a fire so they need to renovate it (yellow brick building). For your knowledge their are equally as much trains departing from Malmo as in Lund which is quite fun since Malmo has like 20 tracks and Lund 6.
"Downtown street cars meant to prop up a dying downtown" is a funny observation considering the tram in the video is the exact same model used in Kansas City's street car line
Of course Kansas City's streetcar is actually pretty good!
Loving the Europe content! Interesting to hear about tura, there’s a British equivalent whereby people do a round trip on a ferry to Ireland or France just to get drunk on the cheap alcohol.
Oh wow, that's hilarious - admittedly that is a much more substantial trip!
I go to Malmö (from London) to volunteer with my old colleagues at the Swedish Left Party every 3 months or so and I love Malmö. It's small but decent for transport. I always get off at Triangeln and also love the lighting. I live in London so it's not comparable really, but it's a really nice town to get around in. You should come to London sometime, sit on the front seat of the DLR.
Thanks for the video!
Loving the new ferry graphics, foghorn and all. A nice way to celebrate the recent abundance of ferry content we've been getting!
You all love ferries so much, I had to make something to commemorate the occasion!
“Can you see those wind turbines” *points camera to water* 🤣 we need a compilation of all of the water shots.
Nice to see you going to new places. A windmill was something I don't remember seeing in any of your other videos - but I am not though watching all of them. The Swedes really know how to accommodate cyclists and definitely have their poop in a group regarding mass transit options. I wish I could say the same for MN. Alas, maybe we'll learn by example someday. I look forward to your future adventures. Thanks for sharing!
Finally a ferry again. And one I've been on myself. And what an extensive review on that epic boat ride. Looking forward to more abroad stuff!
Did you know it is now possible to get from the Canadian border to the Mexican border entirely by public transit
Wow! I wonder how many routes you have to use to accomplish this feat
Gonna need more info on this. XD
Now i wanna see MilesinTransit or some other RUclips-Person do that journey
Lots of busses go to Dallas from Mexico. The rest of the way is simple, but long
I have thought of this as an idea for a @MilesInTransit video. I assume that you're including Amtrak?
Wow Miles you get every where. Awesome job
A friend from Dallas just visited me in Stockholm, and we went to Copenhagen for a day (and mostly just rode the Metro). I'm glad you had a nice visit to Denmark and southern Sweden!
I'ts rather embarrasing that me, a transit enthusiast from Copenhagen, never knew that Lund have it's own tram line (Especially since i have traveled through the Central Station 3+ times). Probably because it opened in the covid period but still
THE BI-ARTICULATED BUS MADE BY VANHOOL AND THIS BUS CALLED EXQUICITY BUS
Yup,Paris has ordered a fleet of them for their busway BRT lines. They are equipped with a ground fast recharge system by Alstom and are fully electric. They'll be used on "Tzen" lines (pronounced T - zen), which are midway between a BRT and a tram.
Belfast has a mono articulated version for the Glider BRT too
Great video! makes me want to visit south Sweden!
Thanks!
12:26 I don't think the wires ruin the character of the street but I see something else in that shot that does 🚔
If that is a commuter train, it's better than anything the USA has, if that's a Intercity train it's so much better than Amtrak's equipment.
Yo nice to see another video from the Denmark trip. Also the Øresundståg do actually have traytables. You push that wooden thing down because it is the tray table. It is spring loaded and very sturdy. Also yeah there is a chronic shortage of rolling stock for the Øresundståg because Denmark loves to only buy the exact amount of trains neccessary to cut corners. Plus you visited at the odd time where the Øresundståg contract was no longer in DSB's hands, but DSB still retained 10 units. The Swedish regions actually did try to order a bunch of Stadler Kiss double decker trains for these routes, but they got into trouble with the Swedish courts since the options in their tender was greater than the initial order. I believe it was like an order for 17 EMU's with an option for 60 more, and having an option bigger than the initial order is apparently illegal in Swedish antitrust laws, and so the contract was eliminated.
The Landskrona trolleybus system is also really neat. There used to be trolleybuses in Copenhagen until 1971 but a few old models are preserved and one of them, a very stylish one from the 1930's has gotten to Landskrona to do a few runs on occassions.
Also you did pronounce Helsingør correctly , congrats. Btw several of the ferries on the Helsingør-Helsingborg crossing are now battery powered. They were basically converted into Plug in hybrids and just never use the diesel engines unless they've run out of juice.
Wow, I got a pronunciation correct! Good context for the tray table too - I guess it wasn't very intuitive for me!
Or Stadler Dosto as they're marketed in Sweden for … reasons :)
Wow that ferry for the 20 min crossing looks a lot nicer than the one I was on for 7.5 hours when I went from Port-aux-Basque, NL to North Sydney, NS.
I want to take that ferry at some point - it seems like the closest thing we have in North America to a proper big-boy European ferry, but it sounds like it's not as great...
@@MilesinTransit The boat isn't terrible (I was on the Highlander), it's just a little dated. There's a restaurant and a cafe with meh food, and the cabins were alright I guess. I did it during Winter so the waters were rough but luckily I slept through it.
If you ever do the crossing, I'm guessing you would also take the DRL bus across the island. I did this myself on the same trip, and I have some advice for you if you ever do it:
The best views are definitely on the west side of the island as you're going through the Long Range Mountains and when you go through Teranova National Park.
There's a long stop at Gander Airport; they have a cool museum/lounge that tells you about when the airport was a major refueling point for transatlantic flights, definitely check it out.
If I ever make it out there again, I would definitely do it with a car or at least rent a car for part of the journey. A lot of the cool spots aren't on the Trans-Canada Highway, but around St. John's there are many interesting nature/Atlantic things to do accessible by hiking or transit (East Coast Trail, Cape Spear, Quidi Vidi, just to name some).
Miles finally on the better side of the Atlantic. Left vs Right hand running for trains is really all over the place in Europe. Netherlands, Germany, Poland go on the right, Belgium, France, Switzerland go on the left, except for the bit of France that used to be German. Metros can be both. Really random.
In Switzerland they don’t have a strict drive on the left. On double track lines they have signaling for both tracks in both directions. Most of the trains run on the left but some on the right.
@@nashorn9745 It's the same in Sweden. Trains usually run on the left-hand track but can use the right-hand track if needed, and both tracks have signals in both directions.
I love light rail and wish more cities in the US really took opportunity to use it
Can't wait until you have 100k subscribers and we can send you around the world by train
“Sweden is cool.”
Agree 100%. Thanks for posting this, Miles. Not only is it a good video in its own right, but it has inspired me to finally do something about my long-held but as yet unfulfilled interest in visiting Mora. Off to Google flights…
If you were on the ferries Aurora or Tycho Brahe, these both used to carry train cars across the Øresund before the bridge was built.
4:10 That bi-articulated bus is awesome!!! Also, one stop means you've now ridden the entire route ;)
Oh yeah, I've now ridden one out of...however many bus routes Malmö has! 😂
You gotta come to Finland at some point!
I did a trip to Denmark from the UK last summer, including a day trip to Malmo, doing pretty much exactly what you did. It was very cool indeed. Nice video, although unfortunately it made me feel a bit of motion sickness. I think it's because your lens isn't wide enough and you did a lot of fast panning. I'm also not sure if you had any stablisation or not, but it felt quite jerky. If you do more of these vlogs, I would suggest less panning and more cuts, or use a wider lens and pan more slowly so the motion effect is reduced. Otherwise, great video!
Malmö has a museum tramway. A remain of the old system.
Dude. I once took a ferry from the UK to Sweden. Without any notice they rerouted to southern denmark, then a four hour coach ride to northern denmark, then another ferry. Took an entire extra day and was not fun or cool at all 😢
Truthfully I would find that very exciting, but I can imagine that would be very miserable if you were expecting a direct ride!
Wow...great video...
Your Swedish pronounciations wheren't always great, but the way you said "hiss" was 10/10
Great video. Only downside? No Ma and Pa In Transit. Miss those great Dad jokes.
I've got some videos in the backlog with my parents, they will be back!
11pm in West Sweden, still waiting for the Swedish Sequel trip
Lund actually have a indoor waiting area but I understand why you didn’t see it because it is very small and pretty hidden
i cant believe u where so close to my home town
FIRE Video
Thanks!
@@MilesinTransit YW
besides the obvious S TIER ferry content, i really liked seeing a more every day people view of sweden that you dont really see on european travel vids targeted for north americans.

Ferry video? Based.
Crossover of Eurovision and transit - Moldova's 2022 entry was the song Trenulețul by Zdob și Zdub, and is about a train ride between Chișinău, Moldova and Bucharest, Romania
That was probably my favorite song from that year!
By the way guys there's mentions of Swedish Pizza (Very Scary)
15 minutes frequency is quite good if you are from a small town actually
Never tried X61s but loved the X60s in Stockholm. Apparently X61s have bathrooms which is a plus... SL's longest commuter route is almost 2 hour long and 0 bathroom onboard...
FERRIESSS!!! Yay :>
0:48 That is actually a table, it is spring loaded and you have to push the wooden part down. It's quite nicez although unfortunately often very dirty.
The ferry is electric btw
Shame that the ticket is now gone. Especially as i haven't got around to visit the Lund tramway or Landskrona trolly yet
Man, it's finally gone, huh? That sucks, I'm glad I took advantage of it when I did...
At 5:41, the trivia-question says: "For which biathlon-club does Hanna Öberg compete? 1. Piteå skidskytteklubb, X. Finnskoga IF, 2. SK Bore."
Skidskytteklubb means roughly "Ski-shooting club".
IF (or "Idrottsförening") means roughly "Sporting society/association"
SK ("Skidklubb") means roughly "Skiing-club".
Bore is a place in Värmland, central-western Sweden. Piteå is in Norrbotten county, northern Sweden.
Thanks for the translation!
@@MilesinTransit No worries!
0:48 You should have trusted your gut feeling more, because it is a tray table that you can use. You push downwards to pop it out.
Awesome trip, man! Wow, looks like that you returned to Europe again! It's too bad that you didn't get to ride the Tunnelbana Stockholm because that's pretty far away, and this is South Sweden.
By the way, Have you tried visiting Germany and rode the Deutsche Bahn? The S-Bahn Berlin (Urban Rail) is pretty fun to ride in Berlin especially the new BR483/84 made by Stadler and Siemens.
I went to Berlin once as part of a school trip, so I was kinda limited in what I could do transit-wise. We did ride the S-Bahn a bunch, though - the ring line was really cool, as was that big elevated line that runs straight through the city center!
I think they serve alcohol in restaurants on the ferries all the way, but the shops are only open for the time the boat's in international waters, so they can keep tax free.
Saw Jeremy on the M86
i love biarticulated bus, i just wish there was a triarticulated bus too
I went on this train when it was bombastically full
I NEED THIS PASS… i am going to travel to kopenhagen and then to sweden to visit a friend and then travel to belgium
I do hope that you'll visit Stockholm and experience the worlds longest art museum (AKA our Subway system)
Not on this trip unfortunately, but someday hopefully!
@@MilesinTransit Well, whenever you do. If you want a guide i'd be happy to help out. :)
yaaaaaay sweden
ooooooh greenhouse at 7:46 on the left of the streetcar!
Good taste Miles, Armenia's eurovision song is a certified banger
So true! Thank you!
4:52 Miles says that a pastry is "so good" is a bit suspect.
I like some pastries!
very cool to see another fellow american getting into Eurovision! how long have you been watching it? i re-discovered it after it got cancelled in 2020 (after previously being aware of only a few songs when i was younger [like Heroes, Sweden 2015, and "the epic sax guy song", Moldova 2010]).. been a big fan of it ever since though!
also, you've got great taste w/your favorite songs this year! there's so many good songs this year that i couldn't pick just one favorite, but pretty much all of the ones you listed are all in my top 10 ahah
Aleena introduced it to me in 2022, so I've only been doing it for three years! She's been doing it since around 2018 or something? She makes a spreadsheet for each year and we score each song - it's SO much fun.
Its a shame that you weren't awake enough to take a look around Helsingor. The castle there is where Shakespeare's Hamlet is set. One of the ferries is even named after him judging by that dot matrix display.
I was going to say that. When I went to Sweden and Denmark a couple years ago, that was one of the places we visited.
Yeah, and I wish I had been able to stop at the Louisiana Museum also - that looks like a very cool place.
6:43 European here: 15 minutes is like off peak and not main/core line frequency. So around noon to research centre, yes, that´s about appropriate even for us :D
I’ve heard from someone from Lund that the tramway only serves the hospital nothing else
I love the praise for DSB but it is so bad 😂
