Die Straßenbahnfahrerin ist wirklich der Knaller! 👍Beim Einbiegen vor dem Bahnhof ein wenig "getanzt", ihr Blick als beim Anfahren noch jemand rüber wollte - und die unterschiedlichen Grüße an Kollegen - da wusste man gleich, wen sie mag und wen eher nicht. Ich habe mehr auf sie geachtet als auf die Strecke. Sehr sympathisch und wohl gern auf ihrem Arbeitsplatz. 👍 Danke fürs Mitnehmen!
Ja sie war genial! Sie war am Ende der Fahrt auch sehr von diesem Video begeistert und wollte alles wissen über warum sich Leute für cab rides interessieren und freute sich sehr das Video selber anzusehen! Ich hoffe, dass ich wieder mal Glück habe mit ihr ein anderes Video zu drehen :) Vielen Dank für dein Kommentar und es freut mich sehr, dass das Video dich gefallen hat!
@@hugobazin8052 Ich würde mich auch freuen, mit ihr nochmal "mitfahren" zu dürfen. 😃
Der beste Sitzplatz von der Bahn,den haben wir,klasse.
Danke sehr! Ja den habt ihr wirklich!😁 Freut mir, dass es dir gefallen hat! :)
Very enjoyable video thank you for posting from London UK.
Thank you very much mate! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Best wishes from Zurich!
So beautiful.. have a great weekend 🌹💝🎉
Thank you so very much! You have a great weekend too my friend!😊😊🥳
nice video! I miss Zurich and Switzerland so much =]
Thank you very much! I hope you get to visit again very very soon!!
This is wild and crazy ride
I thought so too! But so many cool things to see :)
Wow ❤ nice
Many thanks Nazir!😊😊 Thank you for all your continued support!!
Greetings from Vancouver. Thanks for posting.
Many greetings back from Zurich! Amazing to have people from Vancouver watching, I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Yes, some of us very much miss having trams in Vancouver....@@hugobazin8052
Very nice video ❤❤❤❤ greetings from Zagreb Croatia 😊😊😊😊
Amazing!!! I'm really delighted you enjoyed it, Zagreb an incredible city for trams tooo! :)
The steering wheel confuses me so much! So, is it to control the speed and the brakes?
Both! Many have been confused by it! But it is basically a throttle for controlling motor acceleration and braking by turning the wheel to different notches towards either the left (strength of braking) or the right (strength of acceleration). Hope that helps :)
@@hugobazin8052 I was confused too! Thank you for explaining!!!
Eine ungewöhnliche Tram mit einer ungewöhnlichen Steuerung, nämlich einem Lenkrad zum beschleunigen und bremsen, in Deutschland hatten wir so etwas mal in ostdeutschen Fahrzeugen, es war auch leichter zu bedienen als die sonst übliche Kurbel, ansonsten aber hatten wir Importe aus Tschechien, deren Bedienung mit Fußpedalen erfolgte.
Ooh aber Fusspedalle sind sicher noch verwirrender als ein Lenkrad! Ich habe mit vielen Tramfahrern hier gesprochen und die meisten haben das Lenkrad lieber als ein Seitenhebel wie in Züge, da man ihrer Meinung nach präziser das Tram kontrollieren kann
Klassz főleg hogy a megállok is ki vannak irva❤❤❤
Nagyon örülök, hogy tetszenek a megállók! Mindig próbálom javítani ezeket a videókat! Köszönöm a támogatást!😊😊🎉
Pozdrawiam motorniczych z całego świata Heyah 😊
Thanks for watching!! :)
5:08 if only I could bumble through life so carefree!
I knowwww!! Some people really like to not pay attention when crossing tram lines, as if it's a surprise to them that a tram appears😅😂
I have a question. Why is there a steering wheel in that tram like a car? What is its function please? I've never seen a steering wheel on a tram.
Fair question! Well on both the older Be 4/6 like in this video and the Cobra trams, they use a steering wheel as a means to accelerate or decelerate. The wheel doesn't turn smooth, it's like a cog with different notches that you can turn to. If the driver turns it to the right, the further they turn it, the more acceleration is provided by the motor... to the left, the more braking is applied. In neutral in it's central position, no acceleration is provided which is used to coast at a constant speed. When stopped at a stop, the wheel will be slightly turned left to have basically a minimal amount of brake so the tram doesn't roll away, and then they accelerate again by turning to the right when leaving the stop! On the Cobra Trams acceleration has been changed to speeds, so depending on how far they turn it, power is provided to reach and maintain a given speed indicated around the wheel like a dial! Hope that helps 😊
@@hugobazin8052 Perfect detailed answer. Thank you :-)
I didn't know this at all and thanks to you I'm a bit smarter again :-)
@mrhonz_official you're very welcome! I'm really pleased I could help you out!!🎉
@@hugobazin8052 Thank you :-)
@@hugobazin8052 Question again... is that steering wheel is modified or it been like that on the beginning?
Оооо метровая колея как и у нас
A lot of meter gauge in Switzerland!! Where do you have them? :)
@@hugobazin8052 Кaliningrad, piatigorsk, evpatoria. Und alles.
Very niceee!!🎉🎉
I was amused at the driver's reactions to the various colleagues she passed en route. They were NOT the same for everyone! Re the 'steering wheel'. It is probably the least understood part of a tram. If a lever had been put onto the hub instead of a wheel, its use would have been instantly recognisable - a combined throttle and brake control. [Google traduction - J'ai été amusé par les réactions de la conductrice face aux différents collègues qu'elle croisait en route. Ils n’étaient PAS les mêmes pour tout le monde ! Concernant le « volant ». C'est probablement la partie la moins comprise d'un tramway. Si un levier avait été placé sur le moyeu au lieu d'une roue, son utilisation aurait été immédiatement reconnaissable : une commande combinée d'accélérateur et de frein.]
That's for sure a quick an easy way to put indeed! It really is quite misunderstood, but also really cool and popular amongst tram drivers because of its simplicity! Yeah reactions to different drivers is always fun to see😂
@@hugobazin8052 Yep, turn it to the right - you go faster. Turn it to the left - you slow down. Simples! Turn it too far and you're in trouble!
@@user-zo1wt3vm6u It doesn't matter whether the language is Nordic or otherwise, physical reactions are just that - physical. A cheery wave is a cheery wave, an acknowledgement is just an acknowledgement.

@@user-zo1wt3vm6u That's because my native tongue is UK English. Like 99.999999999% of RUclips viewers, I use an online translator to let me read other language comments. My question has to be - Why don't you?
Ich vermute mal die Bahn, in der die Aufnahme erfolgt, dürfte sehr wahrscheinlich nicht niederflurig sein und damit muss dann wohl anscheinend der Rollstuhlfahrer auf einen Umlauf warten auf dem modernere Fahrzeuge zum Einsatz kommen.
Die meisten Eingänge auf diesen Tram haben effektiv keinen Niederflureingang, aber wegen Gleichstellungsgesetze gibt es mindestens auf jeder dieser Fahrzeugkonfiguration ein Wagen (Mitte der vordesten 3) wo man mit Rollstuhl einfahren kann... aber ja trotzdem ist es mühsam und in Zürich sind noch gut 1/3 der Fahrzeuge von diesem Typ, also noch lange nicht erneuert
Классный город. Максимум электротранспорта
All electric, the best way to go (sorry diesel bros)
@@hugobazin8052depends in my opinion, sometimes Diesel is better, but we have an amazing Trolleybus system, everyone has their own opinion 😄.
Are the points activated by you, or is there central control?
They're monitored by a central system indeed! :)
It's not the full line as you mentionned. Full line start in Bahnhof Wiedikon not Bahnhofstrasse
You're partially right on this one... for most of the day except for a couple hours in the morning and evening, the line 17 starts in Bahhofstrasse going to Werdhölzl, as it was the case when I took it. However it can change its route or origin completely to going all the way from Albisgütli, not Wiedikon, and sometimes with certain events goes up all the way to Oerlikon! Hope that helps :)
Not an easy job to control that steel horse!
Not at all!!
It's astonishing how close the stops are to each other at some points. Doesn't seem very efficient.
I think they are rather far apart, but that comes from growing up when tram/bus stops were perhaps only 100yds/metres apart. Then around the 80s stops began to be removed until they are at the level they are nowadays. Of course, this was in an urban setting. In rural areas it was totally different. A bus stop could be a particular tree along a country road, but everyone knew that. Even just putting your hand out when a bus approached worked. Days now long gone.
I agree that sometimes certain stops are indeed in terms of distance relatively close to one another. Sometimes its because of interchanges between trams that certain stops appear closer to one another or simply that Zurich has as many cities instigated a densification policy, so having many stops is actually sometimes needed for the high demand on such a small area
That's a very interesting perspective, for sure we can't flag down trams or buses anymore and depending on the infrastructure, certain stops are indeed very far apart... in Zurich I'd say trams try to balance out between being a bus that stops often and being an S-Bahn that can cover several Kms between stations... also in more dense sub-centres, like Zurich Main station has 4 tram stops - it's just for convenience of navigating around this centre and finding the best suited location to board/de-board your tram for your desired purpose :)
@@hugobazin8052 As a regular visitor to Zurich, I strongly agree with you!
what's that steering wheel for?
Used for throttle control (breaking and acceleration) by turning the steering wheel in one direction or the other! I've detailed this answer in another comment about the steering wheel if you want to know more 😊
@@hugobazin8052 thx! good to know
So I take it the “steering” wheel is the brake?
Or is it the throttle?
Both my friend :)! A dynamic throttle for acceleration and mechanical breaking depending if you turn it to the notches on the right (accel.) or those on the left (decel.)! Hope that helps :)
@@hugobazin8052 Reminds me of a hydrostatic throttle find on some tractors. Cool.
Streets in Europe's cities are so wide. UK cities have crappy little narrow streets eg Birmingham
True, although they probably seem really wide, but some streets the trams go down are really narrow too... but intricate city planning in Zurich is certainly the reason why streets are so wide and well adapted for trams on them :)
Oh man, Birmingham is a European city too , despite the UK not being in the EU. Same like Zurich and Switzerland btw.
12:26 are the tracks leading to a former depot?
Hi there! No, not a former depot, but here we were just after Escher-Wyss Platz in the heart of Hardbrücke which still today is an industrial suburb of Zurich to the West of the centre! Many old train tracks and tram tracks lead off to different factory buildings as cargo was transported by tram in the mid 1900s to 2000s. Hope that helps😊
@@hugobazin8052 thank you
Not really. There is a depot there, but currently that builing is under reconstruction. In about 18 months that depot will be re-opened.
My apologies! Indeed you are right, I've re-checked, there is a depot there which that track is used for! Whilst what I said is true about tracks leading off to factories, although most have been repaved and removed sadly, in this case it is indeed a depot! Thanks for correcting me :)😊
Why is there a steering wheel in a tram ?
I've answered this question in detail to @mrhonz_official if you want an explanation as to what to the steering wheel in a tram does :)
It's called a tap charger, think of it similar to a valve, it has breaking and throttle sections.
@@Robdc89 Thank you for taking time to explain.
@@andyhughes5885thank you, years of playing Train Sim World has helped me learn more about trains and the railway.
I do remember the AE 6/6 from schweizerische Bundesbahnen also had wheels, in fact almost every train before the RE 4/4 had

Curious, im sure they're is a reason behind it, but why does it look like tram drivers run red lights? Do trams have some weird priority system?
Hi there!! Public transport do have a seperate light system in Zurich and many cities in Switzerland, so busses and trams, even though they often share the same exact lane with cars, are almost always given priority to maintain the best possible on-time schedule! Especially in buses it always seems like they run red lights, but they have a very sensitive priority system that often even iniates red lights for cars as it senses a bus/tram approaching and frees up the track or road for the bus to continue with hindrance! Hope that helps😊
Tram signals are the strip of white lights. Horizontal lights means stop, angled lights means proceed in that direction, or as other signs indicate. Derived from railway semaphore signals.
@@chrissmith8773 Thank you very much for adding that piece of information :) Yes horizontal means stop, angled, generally 45 degrees with 2 dots indicates right or left turn and vertical 3 dots clears you to go straight ahead :)
It should be stressed that the white lights mentioned by other commentators are 'public transport lights', applicable to both trams and BUSES. They can be seen in many countries all around Europe. However in Britain, where I live, similar white lights are only applicable to trams.
steering wheel in tram,why?
I got this question from someone else that I answered on this video, you can look at the answer there to help understand why :) But the newest trams today operate like trains with levers to the side of the driver! Hope that helps😊
Chocholate job
Why cause we're in Switzerland??😂😂
what a horrible job.
Well I talked to the lovely driver of this tram who waa very enthusiastic about me filming and couldn't wait to see the video (shoutout to her) and she seemed to love her job... but especially in the city centre it requires a lot of concentration and correct discipline not to make a big mistake and good stress management with all the vehicles and people a r
tram shares the road with...
@@hugobazin8052i agree on, I know many train drivers at the SBB, they all do love driving trains, I know tram and train is different but they a have a lot in common. I habe huge respect to the tram drivers in Zuerich!
Let's hope you are happy with your very important job
