some locals were taking pics of the tram because it’s a novelty even for us! The tram was ‘restored’ after many years of it not working, so for many people it is the first time seeing it. It’s a very iconic part of the Caballito neighborhood too!
With the buses in the different liveries, the trams, and the Subte, Buenos Aires is definitely an underrated transit city! Pyongyang has a big tram network! Four lines with a total length of 53.5 km/33 miles. Before the war from 1950 to 1953, there were three tramway systems in the entire Korean Peninsula: one each in Seoul, Busan and Pyongyang. However Seoul and Busan got rid of their historic tramways for the automobile in the 1960s, while Pyongyang's was destroyed in US attacks, and was decided to be rebuilt from scratch. The new system began operations in 1989. The network has three main lines, and a smaller fourth one. The fourth one was created to connect the Pyongyang Metro station at Kim Il-sung University (Samhung) to the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, the mausoleum of my father and grandpa. A Pyongyang Metro station was once at the palace’s site (Kwangmyong), but once it became a mausoleum in 1995, it became sacred ground and thus it was closed with a new tram line built. Most of the network uses Tatra trams made in the former Czechoslovakia but unlike the rest of the network, the tram that runs on this Kumsusan line uses a Swiss tram built in the late 40s that was retired from the Zurich network in 1994 where it was purchased by us the next year.
11:40 when you get on the bus in Buenos Aires, you have to tell the driver what station you are going to stop at, they will charge you accordingly to the distance you travel. So it’s not uncommon for people to ask the bus driver whether they stop/go to a certain address.
The name of the neighborhood is Caballito, which means little horse! The bust at 12:39 is the one and only Eva Perón aka Evita! She was First Lady of Argentina from 1946 to 1952 who championed trade unions and women's suffrage! She ran the Ministries of Labor and Health, and founded and ran the charitable Eva Perón Foundation too! After she passed at age 33 in 1952, she was given the title of "Spiritual Leader of the Nation". Emilio Mitre station is named after an Argentine Lieutenant General who participated in the Paraguayan War in the late 1860s. Basically both Brazil and Argentina were hostile to Paraguay, Brazil helped topple the Uruguayan government in favor of a pro-Brazil government, Paraguay saw this as a threat to the regional balance and went to war with Brazil, Argentina refused to let Paraguayan troops marched through so Paraguay declared war on them too, Argentina and Brazil saw this as an opportunity to take disputed land with Paraguay, so they and the pro-Brazil Uruguayan government formed a Triple Alliance and attacked the Paraguayans. His brother Bartolomé Mitre was president of Argentina from 1862 to 1868.
I just watched a 14 minute video of you riding a 116-year old tram in Buenos Aires and in the process learned that Buenos Aires has a 116-year old tram. BA has way better transit than Lima (the LA of South America imo, they have one metro line for a city of 9 million).
Those Brills were a triumph of efficiency and standardization. That one looks and sounds just like the ones that survive in Scranton and Branford, CT. I didn't realize any of them were shipped overseas.. fabulous video, thank you!
We have those in Porto, they run in 2 lines, lines 1 and 18. Line 1 goes along the river Douro and line 18 does a part of line 1 and then goes up to the historic city center ;)
If you enjoy old trams, Milan is definitely worth visiting! Unlike this and many other old trams, their 1920's class 1500 run in regular passenger service, serving commuters all day every day. They're quite ubiquitious; the benefit being that you won't have to fight tourists/foamers for a spot like what happened here. And yes, they're the oldest remaining trams in passenger service in the world.
So Buenos Aires first got trams in 1863 through horse-drawn trams circulating the city as a feeder service to the trains. Then they got urban tramways in 1870 by pioneer Federico Lacroze and his brother Julio. The Anglo-Argentine Tramways Company was founded in 1876 and operated lines totaling 875 km (544 mi) in length from then all the way to 1952. They were the ones that built an underground tram line that would become Line A of the Subte in 1913! I don't blame you for not being able to understand him at 7:42. Rioplatense Spanish is VERY different from the other Spanish varieties! Heavily influenced by Italian and its dialects as many Italians settled in Argentina and Uruguay in the 19th century. For example, in the majority of Spanish-speaking countries, the word for pineapple is piña, and this word comes from the fact that Europeans called it the pinecone of the Indies or "piña des Indes" so its name became just piña. In Argentina and Uruguay on the other hand, the word for pineapple is Ananas, a word that originally comes from a Tupi word (from Brazil) that means "excellent fruit", and this is the word the majority of languages uses (or based off of) whether it's German, Arabic, Georgian, Hindi, Swahili, Polish, Maltese, Turkish, Amharic, Urdu, Tajik, Greek, Russian, and of course Italian! Ananas is the name of the pineapple's genus!
Correction: Es Miles en Transporte Publico, tranisto is only used in relation to transit (this trolley in relation to Buenos Aires transit). Transito is used for shipping and just passing through in general or astrology. There is Missing in Transit, which is Perdido en ruta (if someone doesn't rename the Discord that for 24hrs...)
no way you've been through my neighbourhood Caballito (little horse), tourist usually go only around la boca - puerto madero - microcentro - retiro - recoleta - palermo and maybe belgrano (basically the majority of the coast) but not really inside the city which is huge. Maybe there aren't very important tourist attractions but I think the sole atmosphere of some neighbourhoods, plus some museums are worth visiting. It's a whole different feeling compared to microcentro
Miles, thank you!!! I did not know that tram existed in Buenos Aires... I give tours on board a (1932) historic tram in St.Petersburg, Russia. Hence many of visual features looked somewhat familiar... Loved the joke about "Millas en Transito", but "Kilometers en Transito" almost literally knocked me out! Loved it! 😂😂😂
I just watched your video on the Subte and I thought maybe you rode this thing too when you were in BsAs and here you are! I rode this too when I was there a couple months ago, super cool experience. If you're ever in BsAs again, check out the National Railway Museum next to Estacion Retiro. They have the old Presidential train there and you can tour it. Subbed your channel, great content!
I was going to say that it reminds me of the MATA in Dallas, but you beat me to it! I have always wanted to go there, and now I will add riding the tram to my list of things to do there!
I love MATA in Dallas! If anything that's even cooler because it's 1920s trams on some very wide suburban streets, versus here where the architecture sorta matched the vehicles!
@@jovangonzalesDallas MATA also has different types of vintage streetcars, from a brill to PCCs(both ex-toronto and ex-brussels) to a car from Melbourne. 3 of it's other cars ran in Dallas. The Crews are really amazing also.
I wasn't expecting to see you riding a tram in Buenos Aires. Lucky you. That's a place I'd like to go visit. People eat late there so go early for their pizza otherwise the lineups are long.
@@MilesinTransit During the pandemic, fares were suspended and eventually eliminated altogether; sensors on the door count how many passengers enter the streetcar. Expansion has been rumored to the Clifton/Univ. of Cincinnati areas and to Covington and Newport in northern Kentucky (I live in newport BTW)
@@nkmade Oh wow, that would be great! A bi-state modern streetcar would be insanely cool (and very useful - Newport has a super transit-friendly downtown!)
I really like the concept of each bus route having a distinct livery. Don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. Certainly makes it easier to pick your bus out in traffic. Also, I actually really enjoy these continuous-shot videos. They're a totally different beast from your usual style of videos, but just as fun! Also also, love your dad's "Birds Aren't Real" shirt.
San Fransisco has the historic fleet of streetcars that run on Market Street and the Embarcadero, including the PCC cars, some wooden cars from Milan and for special occasions they’ll pull out the “boat” like open top car from Blackpool (the central “mast” holds up the trolley pole.) Plus of course there’s the cable cars and the Muni trams (I was there in 2012, the Muni trams had moving steps to go from high platforms to low or no platforms.) The only cooler trams were the old Soviet made trams we rode in Sofia, Bulgaria back in 2018 (there were newer trams being phased in but not on the line we rode.)
Gothenburg, Sweden's got a nice tram network with heritage fleet including one operating tram from 1902. They supplement one of the existing lines so I was actually able to ride one from the 1920s to my destination last time I was in the city.
Milan, Italy, also has many trams from the 1920s still in everyday revenue service. They even sold some in the US to San Francisco, San Jose and Saint Louis for their heritage tram lines: given that they were built following the original American design by Peter Witt, their style really fits the aesthetics of those cities.
Would your name in spanish be Kilómetros? Anyway happy to see you had a good time, I'm actually into transit and urbanism so good that I got to find your channel.
Oh wow, Buenos Aires is one of my favorite places I’ve visited and the last place I expected to see one of my favorite RUclipsrs visiting lol Looking forward to the riding the entire Subte video, maybe also a video on their suburban/regional rail system since it’s one of the better ones I’ve seen. Also I feel obligated to recommend you try Shawarma Express in Retiro district while you’re there. You can get two shawarma wraps for like $3 total, and it’s literally some of the best street food I’ve ever had.
Our HERITAGE TRAMWAY OF BUENOS AIRES is a museum streetcar service and runs every weekends and holidays thriugh "Caballito" District, operates by the AAT (Association of Tramway Friends) a non profit group.

It’s been a while since your parents appeared in an episode. I’m looking forward to an episode where you, your parents, and their future daughter-in-law Aleena all go railfanning.
I remember I took the same Tram in Buenos Aires two years ago, lovely experience! Also take the ferry to Montevideo Uruguay is really cool too! (food and people are amazing too 😅) It’s the first time I watched one your videos with your parents, looks like a lovely family 😅 Enjoy your travel! Ps: You give an idea to make a video when I visit Argentina next year lol Ps 2: I think that woman is Eva Peron
Personally I love all the uncut videos, you rarely see them on youtube and it gives a very organic version of the adventures that you do. I especially love them because you are usually with some great guests too (Also as a bird lover, I also love your dad’s “birds aren’t real” shirt)
@MilesinTransit yeah, they had old trolleybuses running when I was there in February 2021(I was meeting my now wife's parents), it's a beautiful city which has a metro line that goes between there and Viña del mar. It's mostly underground but then goes overground along the coast I highly recommend it
I think these unedited videos are always fun! There's just something fascinating about seeing everything in the same time as it's happening. On that note: I watched the movie Victoria last week, which is a full 2 hours of movie without a single cut (no even a hidden one). While not being the best story, it's definitely worth it just for the amazing camera work and acting (iirc all the dialog is improvised as well).
You should totally go to the posadas encarnacion cross-border train and the tri national bus service in puerto iguazu! Lots of cool transport in argentina
Oh wow, tri-national?? That's a really interesting part of Argentina the way it juts out like that - we won't be able to this trip, but I'll put that on my list!
@@MilesinTransit there are lines that cross the borders operated by three bus companies and the tickets are very cheap, but it's faster to cross from brazil to paraguay or vice versa by foot. there's border control in argentina and you have to climb down the bus to go through it and climb up again, but lasts ten minutes at most. ruclips.net/video/HCJ9_FywnJY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/397tyEkoQEo/видео.html
A couple people mentioned that - we covered the whole system without any issues with the camera, thankfully. Is the issue that we look like tourists or just that it's an expensive thing that can be stolen?
Wow, that looks awesome! Shame we couldn't go (we're flying home tonight) - I don't think it's authentic but they did a damn good job matching the style!
Not yet! It's buried in the backlog, along with a bunch of other videos from this trip - I'm trying to finish my Denmark videos before moving onto Argentina.
Can help if you need any info with historical stuff, its all out there on the internet anyway, ofcourse there's a few novelties such as line A and lovely line C and the nearly century old tunnel extensions where you have a super old vs new stations along side each other, such as line A's primera junta tunnel to puan which was built 97 years later, or the connection from line B to E Wich was also built 80 years apart and is the best connection in the entire subway, Aside from the age of the system is also one of the few subways in the world where you have some unrelated stations with the same name and conecting stations that have different names because much like in New Yorkers porteños have the city's grid baked inside their brains and the subway heavily reflects that more often using street names instead of landmarks and since conecting stations often intersect each other's streets and parallel lines intersect the same streets this quirky is as far as I'm aware only present in New York's numbered street stations. Also since Buenos Aires uses a standard address numbering scheme passengers information signage also include the block's numbering, which for the radial lines pretty much tells you how far away you are from 9 de Julio avenue, the entire system's station signage includes it which is also pretty unique
@@MilesinTransit Not sure though! The last time I was in Buenos Aires was in... 2005? And the wooden Subte was still running. I think it runs on Linea A though?
@@MilesinTransit what a bummer! well at least you got to ride that tram... Buenos Aires is such a cool city. You should go to El Tigre and take a ferry there!
This is where pokemon go comes in handy, that girl statue is probably in the game, but the statue description is in Spanish. But you could take that text and Google translate. So I'm not even going to try to spell where you are, but they don't like thumbs up? ......... So is RUclips banned because of the thumbs and emojis? That........ That' doesn't compute, I mean it does because culture, but it doesn't because RUclips, this video is offensive with 257 thumbs up, no offense. Also your mom said it's good how indestructible the mug is, how often do you people break things?
I think the thumbs up thing isn't actually real, from what we've experienced since... My dad had just broken a mug of mine the day before we left for the trip!
@@MilesinTransitit is offensive, but they know in the US its not. When I was in Buenos Aires on a vacation, I had a waiter who kept doing it to me and my friend because he knew we were USian, he had a knowing smirk on his face everytime he did it like he was doing something naughty that we wouldn't get. (I googled it after that experience and sure enough...)
some locals were taking pics of the tram because it’s a novelty even for us! The tram was ‘restored’ after many years of it not working, so for many people it is the first time seeing it. It’s a very iconic part of the Caballito neighborhood too!
You have the nicest parents and I see traits and features of both of them in you. Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure!!!
Thanks so much!
Hey all, this is Grandpa Jim. How are you? What took you to Buenos Aries? Have fun!🎉
It was my parents' idea, but I'd been wanting to come here for awhile! Unrelatedly, I've been listening to a ton of Argentinian music recently.
@@MilesinTransitDo you like any Brazilian samba/bossa nova music?

San Fransisco has some Milan trams, beautiful woodwork inside.
I have been on the Milan trams in SF, they are works of art. One of my favorites to ride when I lived there and rode the F-Line.

Ps: You give an idea to make a video when I visit Argentina next year lol
Ps 2: I think that woman is Eva Peron
BA: such an amazingly good destination 🍺
Personally I love all the uncut videos, you rarely see them on youtube and it gives a very organic version of the adventures that you do. I especially love them because you are usually with some great guests too (Also as a bird lover, I also love your dad’s “birds aren’t real” shirt)
Thank you!
wow that looks really cool! the buses with all the different liveries is wild how the hell do they tell whats what?
I did see a bus with the wrong livery once, but generally different companies run different routes so they're able to keep it organized!
@@MilesinTransit ah ok makes sense now, place looks fantastic for a vacation i should like to get there once in my lifetime!
You guys should visit Chile as well if you can! In Valparaiso there's trolleybuses
Aren't they super old trolleybuses there too?
@MilesinTransit yeah, they had old trolleybuses running when I was there in February 2021(I was meeting my now wife's parents), it's a beautiful city which has a metro line that goes between there and Viña del mar. It's mostly underground but then goes overground along the coast I highly recommend it
No creeps yet! Love this viewership
We should bring back ornate floral light fixtures in transit vehicles
I'M SO JEALOUS!!!! I want to go to buenos aires and ride subte so bad!!! also trams are the elite forms of transportation
The subte video is gonna rock
I think these unedited videos are always fun! There's just something fascinating about seeing everything in the same time as it's happening.
On that note: I watched the movie Victoria last week, which is a full 2 hours of movie without a single cut (no even a hidden one). While not being the best story, it's definitely worth it just for the amazing camera work and acting (iirc all the dialog is improvised as well).
Wow, that sounds cool! 1917 was sorta like that, but to my understanding it had cuts that were just really well hidden...it was a cool watch!
@@MilesinTransit Yeah 1917 had cuts basically everytime someone or something passed right in front of the camera.
Miles: it’s been 10 minutes I wonder who’s still watching.
Me: 😐
Buenos Aires! I want to go there, so bad.
Amazing city!
I think this unedited, one-take video is nice once in a while
Miles! You got to buenos aires the precise moment i'm not there! How dare you!
Damn, I'm sorry!
@@MilesinTransit no worries! Have fun!
0:30 Clerestory \m/
"Shall we go see the statue?" "No."
Miles, have you ridden on the Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh? Those cars are from the 1870s and the one you rode on here looks very similar to it.
Yeah, I love the Duquesne Incline!
You should totally go to the posadas encarnacion cross-border train and the tri national bus service in puerto iguazu! Lots of cool transport in argentina
Oh wow, tri-national?? That's a really interesting part of Argentina the way it juts out like that - we won't be able to this trip, but I'll put that on my list!
@@MilesinTransit there are lines that cross the borders operated by three bus companies and the tickets are very cheap, but it's faster to cross from brazil to paraguay or vice versa by foot. there's border control in argentina and you have to climb down the bus to go through it and climb up again, but lasts ten minutes at most. ruclips.net/video/HCJ9_FywnJY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/397tyEkoQEo/видео.html
Don't cry for me Buenos Aires tram caaarrr!
Great
The bust is Evita.
This is basically a trip report!
Apparently 😊
BABE WAKE UP MILES POSTED AGAIN
As an Argentine be careful with your camera going through certain stops in el Subte. It can get pretty sketchy
A couple people mentioned that - we covered the whole system without any issues with the camera, thankfully. Is the issue that we look like tourists or just that it's an expensive thing that can be stolen?
There's one american diner if you eant to chek it out, it's called Trixie
Wow, that looks awesome! Shame we couldn't go (we're flying home tonight) - I don't think it's authentic but they did a damn good job matching the style!
@@MilesinTransit Fake AF but still fun (?)
@@PabloBD Absolutely! It would've been worth a trip if I had known about it. Maybe next time!
Hi Miles - have you ever considered making a discord server? It'd be so fun!! Could help ya set it up if you wanna!
There is an unofficial one that I don't really go into much but it's very active! discord.gg/AmYEXQKC
2:28 - are you sure you didn't just go to Lancaster?
Did you got do that video where you rode the subway?
Not yet! It's buried in the backlog, along with a bunch of other videos from this trip - I'm trying to finish my Denmark videos before moving onto Argentina.
Can help if you need any info with historical stuff, its all out there on the internet anyway, ofcourse there's a few novelties such as line A and lovely line C and the nearly century old tunnel extensions where you have a super old vs new stations along side each other, such as line A's primera junta tunnel to puan which was built 97 years later, or the connection from line B to E Wich was also built 80 years apart and is the best connection in the entire subway,
Aside from the age of the system is also one of the few subways in the world where you have some unrelated stations with the same name and conecting stations that have different names because much like in New Yorkers porteños have the city's grid baked inside their brains and the subway heavily reflects that more often using street names instead of landmarks and since conecting stations often intersect each other's streets and parallel lines intersect the same streets this quirky is as far as I'm aware only present in New York's numbered street stations. Also since Buenos Aires uses a standard address numbering scheme passengers information signage also include the block's numbering, which for the radial lines pretty much tells you how far away you are from 9 de Julio avenue, the entire system's station signage includes it which is also pretty unique
Caballito! = little horse.
Milei in transit
Sure you went to Buenos Aires, but did you dance the Wadu Wadu?
I wish! They did play it at the concert we missed...
All those people gathered to catch a glimpse of the Miles in Transit clan. 📸
Your parents are cool, so I don't mind you being lazy 😁
Where's this at?
Argentina
If you can't come here without eating red meat because there are more cows than people, then I shudder to think what Miles eats when he is elsewhere
DINER
did you take the wooden Subte train?
It wasn't out this day, I don't think! Have they converted it to tram operations yet?
@@MilesinTransit Not sure though! The last time I was in Buenos Aires was in... 2005? And the wooden Subte was still running. I think it runs on Linea A though?
@@thingeeeeeee Ohhh, those were retired from regular service in 2013 :( But I know this heritage line wants to convert one back to tram operation!
@@MilesinTransit what a bummer! well at least you got to ride that tram... Buenos Aires is such a cool city. You should go to El Tigre and take a ferry there!
@@thingeeeeeee We did! And the public ferry system was a sight to behold - I'm so glad I filmed it because it'll be an insanely cool video.
Random comment, but has anyone told you that your dad looks like Ethan Hawke?
He said he'll take that as a compliment!
I think he’s a doppelgänger for John Darnielle
This is where pokemon go comes in handy, that girl statue is probably in the game, but the statue description is in Spanish. But you could take that text and Google translate.
So I'm not even going to try to spell where you are, but they don't like thumbs up? ......... So is RUclips banned because of the thumbs and emojis? That........ That' doesn't compute, I mean it does because culture, but it doesn't because RUclips, this video is offensive with 257 thumbs up, no offense.
Also your mom said it's good how indestructible the mug is, how often do you people break things?
I think the thumbs up thing isn't actually real, from what we've experienced since...
My dad had just broken a mug of mine the day before we left for the trip!
@@MilesinTransit you're father is very destructive of your stuff lol, first a camera now a mug lol
@@MilesinTransitit is offensive, but they know in the US its not. When I was in Buenos Aires on a vacation, I had a waiter who kept doing it to me and my friend because he knew we were USian, he had a knowing smirk on his face everytime he did it like he was doing something naughty that we wouldn't get. (I googled it after that experience and sure enough...)
Fun Fact back in June 25th 1987 Lionel Messi was born on that day at Argentina 🇦🇷 and he became one of the world’s greatest soccer players of all time
apparently this is not a trip report
To be a trip, you have to end up in a different place from where you started! That's my excuse, anyway.
Why does your dad have a head lamp in broad daylight
Honestly I have no idea, that's just what he does
