    Went to Budapest a few years ago and they had the same Siemens tram on some of their routes as they use here in Melbourne. As the Siemens tram has a distinctive "engine" noise I could sand on the street in Budapest and close my eyes and imagine myself back in Melbourne!

      😄😄 I imagine that the Siemens gearbox mechanism is the same the world over, so wherever they supply their trams, I guess they would all sound the same. I haven’t been back to Budapest since 1992, but in those days I thought it was a rather slick and efficient operation, words I could not exactly use to describe Melbourne unfortunately.

      @@tressteleg1 It was a pretty efficient operation you are right but it is a European city where they have public transit in their DNA. As you can probably remember, Budapest is a wonderful city, great food, not expensive and plenty to do! I loved the cog railway in the Buda side! Thanks very much for uploading this video and your other wonderful videos :)

      @@elmar001 One thing about Budapest and potentially other former eastern bloc countries was that their public transport had to be efficient as almost nobody could manage to get hold of a motorcar for themselves. This carried through to the days when retaining tramways worldwide is much more fashionable, unlike what had been the case a bit earlier, even though reliance on public transport has probably dropped a lot in more recent years, hopefully the importance of public transport has survived. That seems to be the case in Budapest. The country was barely out of communism when I was there, restaurants were not really catering for evening meals so I managed on takeaway I guess.

    My first visit to Budapest was Saturday 1st August 1998. I had spent the previous day in Vienna. At the time, my local residence was Munich, Germany. I remember riding the metro and the HÉV. I even still remember waiting for a tram at the Fövám Tér stop. That day was very hot, about 38 to 40 C and no clouds which did not matter much on Sunday 2nd August when I took an air conditioned Eurocity to Munich, lasting eight hours in total, changing direction at Vienna Westbahnhof. When I bought a day pass, I had to say the word "napijegy" (Day ticket) to the ticket seller. In recent years, some stations have ticket machines. I have not been back to Budapest in 16 years, would like to return some time and ride the new driverless M4.

    Tatra, Ganz trams are still running today, (contains some cars which didn’t modernize, they have still original buzzers, accelerators.. that we see in the film) but most of cars were modernized ca. 20-22 years ago.. that was the real classical interior of those trams..
    Masterpiece! The old Moszkva tér (today Széll Kálmán tér) unfortunately also a piece of the past as russian underground cars.. :(

      Thanks for that. I never had a lot to do with the Ganz trams and especially on my first visit concentrated on the UZ trams as they could not stay around for much longer, and seemed to serve more interesting outer routes a lot of the time.

    Those distant trolleybus wires must have had to do something with low clearance. Not for the sake of the trolleybuses but tall lorries. With such separation the chance of short circuiting by tall vehicles could be minimised.

      There is no doubt that low clearance was the major issue. You may be right about less chance of short-circuiting with tall vehicles rather than simply better clearance between trolleypoles and trolleybus roofs. It’s not a procedure I have noted anywhere else, not that I have visited mini trolley bus systems.

      True, but there is a limit as to how long a title should be. 😊
