Meine achte Reise nach Nordkorea habe ich diesmal privat unternommen, ohne eine Gruppe zu führen. Im Mittelpunkt dieser drei Tage vor Ort stand der Besuch bei dortigen Freunden, sowie natürlich auch die Fotografie im Bereich Oberleitungsbus, da sich dort in den letzten Monaten mit zwei neuen O-Bustypen sehr viel im Fuhrpark getan hat, nebenbei wurde natürlich auch die Straßenbahn ansatzweise besucht...doch dort wird sich erst in den kommenden Monaten spürbar etwas im Fuhrpark ändern. Diese Videoszenen entstanden eher nebenbei auf meinen Spaziergängen mit der Fotokamera entlang der Strecken von Straßenbahn und Trolleybus. Es tut sich derzeit wirklich viel im städtischen Nahverkehr der Stadt Pyongyang - nach den Jahren ein sehr positiver Wandel!
I have just spent nearly 20 minutes watching a video about North Korean public transportation with a DPRK pop soundtrack, and enjoyed every minute of it. Utterly fascinating! They are able to build and keep in service their own designs with limited resources and that's quite something.
:-) nice to read! Yes, they dont have so much, but make a good design - and important, a very good intervall at each line!
Most of the trams were old Russian and Eastern European used equipment. The older subway cars are used, from Berlin. There is new rolling stock included but you can be assured it was not built there. All imported from Communist and former communist countries.
Tram Is Tatra czech republic
@@ChrisCanary You can be assured the new trams WERE built there. They are Thongil 181 trams, they are new bodies placed on Tatra chassis. The bodies were built in the Pyongyang Bus Repair Factory that also manufactured double decker buses alongside these trams and trolleybus and tram maintenance. All new trolleybuses are built using 99% North Korean parts in their own factories, the only thing in the trolleybuses that isn't North Korean made are the steering axles that are from CHNTC, a Chinese truck manufacturer, the rest is made in North Korea. This is coming from someone who has been looking into North Korean transport for a couple of years now quite in depth. I don't understand why it is so hard for people to believe they are capable like most other countries of manufacturing their own things. None of these things are Chinese imports.
@@ChrisCanarycan confirm, the trams look just like the ones I rode on in Russia during the 90's
Its looks like USSR in of 80s. Same trams, architecture, subway, a small traffic.
Or - almost - like Poland up till the late 1980's (same trams, architecture, a small traffic except for no metro - USRR:PRL 1:0)
Pz916 They probably got the trams from USSR, I know for a fact the subway cars came from East Germany
@@contactwide No, the subway cars are former BVG cars from Berlin.
@@contactwide
I think the Tatras are from East Germany while the KT8D5K is bought new
@@contactwide trams are czech!
That moment when you realize that Pyongyang is 10x cleaner than Paris
...also cleaner like our cities. 👍
Because Asia
@@ricestrange Asians are clearly living in the future
@@allynclower4629 thats right, in asian cities its cleaner. But in some chinese areas its opposite.
@@KT4Dani wish my sweden was in Asia xd
An important historical document. You are so lucky to have been free to make this video.
Thank you
Thanks :)
He wasn’t free to make this video without the express approval of the North Korean government. They okayed it as it only showed the Pyongyang public transport system in the best light. Anything short of that they would never have allowed him to release this film. They would have made him delete it or confiscate his equipment. This video is a one sided reality of North Korea. It’s quasi propaganda.
HoMaster Zerg you seams to be an expert, ever been to NK? I have also been there, walked on my own, no restrictions for pictures and film! I got lost alone at night. My luggage was not even opened when flying out. Your propaganda don’t work on use that have been there. Good try!
@@TheMasterhomaster Yes, I know that, and you know that. So there isn't a problem, is there? I saw empty streets, empty buildings and wondered what it all was hiding...
Man, talk about stating the obvious! Even WITH permission, such a long vid about the transport is a major achievement... Plus, there ARE little glimpses of reality there if you're quick enough to spot them.
@@bokhans I haven't been, but naturally assume that there may be restrictions and whatnot in such a place. It's my default setting! ;-)
When you realize North Korea has better transport then your city...
True words...there trams and trolleybusses running each two minutes also sundys. Today our trams are running each 30 minutes! So i surprised every visit in Pyongyang, how good the public transport are organisite! :-)
but everything else is worse
Los Angeles: what is public transport?
USA?
Those trolleys go out of electricity very often. You guys don't know that.
It took me awhile to get what is bizarre with this footage... There is ZERO advertisements and other visual garbage on the street. It is so refreshing to see a city where you are not constantly bombarded by ads.
Well I'm pretty sure it ain't gonna be refreshing to live there lol
No ads but political propaganda!
In Soviet Korea, you are ads for felicity of county.
I don’t think you fully grasp the difference between a western capitalist society versus the authoritarian regime that is North Korea.
"Meh, authoritarian regime"... everyone knows NK is not a "workers paradise". And I am not defending it. I only say that a city without ads and visual looks different, nice and refreshing (even if most of the buildings are simple commieblocks)...
they should plant more trees lot of room
More trees need more money
They need it! It is important in times of crisis, when food is lacking
The people used all the trees for eating and to feed themselves during the great famines.
From what I've heard they've taken steps recently to "green" the cities more, planting flowers and trees everywhere to make it more lively.
@@SapphFire Is that _actual_ greening ☘ or _Chinese-style_ „Greening“? 🖌
I respect the visual affect outside and inside with the flowers... it shows pride in there transit system NOT to have them into mobile billboards, wrapped in advertising . Very clean and well kept. The newer trams I see here are not big and boxy but show character.
They do to have anything to advertise that's why no adverts anywhere!
There is nothing to advertise if there is no business being done...
That then tends to be a great asset-- as for the "business" not being done, the "business" is being providing good transportation without the blight of never-ending advertisements that I have to put up with in USA. They even cover the windows which diminishes the view. I recognize a positive when I see it. I give a big thumbs up to them for their efforts even under repressive "sanctions" to deal with.
@@alstondutton5850 You can't compare USA to frikkin NK. USA is the worst offender in the world if you dislike ads, its literally capitalist mekka
Right on.
4 April 2019, Palermo, Sicily.
1. With the total absence of commercial advertisements, Pyongyang has an aesthetic quality of purity that cities in the rest of the world have lost and will probably never get back again.
2. It's fantastic that the Internet and RUclips can show you places you will probably never visit.
:-)
Without ads and visual garbage even commieblock city looks nice.
There's not much stuff to buy and very little money to spend.
Magari, pero' a me piacerebbe piu' rivedere la bellissima Palermo. Saluti dalla Polonia.
Benedetto Bruno ironic. You spit on modern conveniences with a dump that doesn't have them, yet appreciate watching this on modern conveniences. Whoosh
American cities look so dirty, messy and chaotic comparing to this.
This is true...i was shoked as i visit US cities two years ago :/
yes, it is quite bad here. My city, Philadelphia, literally has trash blowing around, it has gotten worse in recent years also. It is quite sad.
@@euroschmau They should hire North Korea to clean it up. They can fix the crime problem too!
@@Uaarkson Visit parts of rural America, people live in tattered trailers. Even in NYC, many people live in projects that are on the brink of being condemned.
Luke I You can’t compare the city you went to with ALL American cities, that’s just ridiculous. There are many clean cities in America, just as long as you don’t go into big cities and do a bit of digging.
Amazing. I love how the wires are so uneven the pantograph on the trams drop off and slowly bounce back up sometimes.
That seems to be for crossing the trolley lines.
@@RussianSevereWeatherVideos i don't know, here in city i live in we also have tram and trolleybus crossing and don't have any problem with the wires. If that's what you're saying.
Crossing trolley wires would be possible with insulated crossing points, necessary to prevent the plus and the minus poles of the trolley wire network from being connected through the tram wire. My guess is that such insulated crossings were undesirable (read: too expensive) for Pyongyang. At 5:00, you can clearly see that the tram wire actually goes over the trolley wires, so lowering the pantograph would indeed be necessary. Throughout the rest of the tram part of this video, there are however a few other moments where you see the pantograph lowered for seemingly no good reason. At 4:07, I could imagine a phase separator. But why at 1:49? The wire seems straight and the pantograph remains steady at some level before going up again. Hardly a 'bounce', I would say. But there is no other wire joining and no trolley line crossing...
MKT Aviation & Rail Videos thats North Korea at least they have that System in Pyongyang
I've personally never seen trolleybusses, they're a feat of engineering all on their own, I get that most of the fuel is rationed for the military, but they didn't have to go as far as to have trolleybusses.
At the very least it makes me question the entirety of the public transportation where I live now.
Edit: You know, that's a lot of cars for a country with "rationed fuel"..
Vielen Dank für das wundervolle Video. Da verspürt man sofort wieder seine Lust um nach Nordkorea zu reisen!
Bitte, na dann schließe Dich an. Für September organisiere ich wieder eine Gruppenreise für Nahverkehrsfreunde! :-)
How is everything so CLEAN... look at peoples' cars and everything they're all immaculate
Amazing. Public transport looks OK there in Pyongyang. Clean city. Thanks for showing us around. Great video 👍🏻
Thank you! Yes i like the public transport of Pyongyang...it is get modern more and more last years. :) ...they dont have so much there, but make a very good citytraffic with enviromentally transports! More modern, than a lot of european cities!
This makes the USA look even worse
qjtvaddict move there
@@goclunker he probably already is there.
11:02 ,at the background, the service Ikarus 260 and in the minute 14:57 , the other ones, Karosa and the 2 North Korean Chollima types.
I think you meant 11:04 with Ikarus 260
You know, you should visit Crimea! We have the longest trolleybus route in the world, that goes through mountains just directly to the seashore! It was built in the 60s, is still active today and has modern trolleybuses (Ukrainian- and Russian-made)
I was there in 2012...a very nice track! :)
@@KT4Dani it's even better now, so if you have a possibility to visit us - that'd be great
@@fear-is-a-token, замучаешься ехать хотя бы от Симферополя до Ялты на троллейбусе, слишком долго. Лучше воспользоваться автобусом, быстрее и удобнее)

На автобусе полтора часа, на троллейбусе два с четвертью. Только вот автобус с аэропорта будет рублей 500 стоить, а троллейбус - 150 летом, 100 зимой, и едешь с комфортом (относительно обычных бусиков). Мне время не помеха, можно поспать, раз уж до конечной едешь. Никто тебя не тронет, на конечной водители все понимающие, разбудят
@@fear-is-a-token, сам много раз пользовался этим маршрутом. Едешь минимум 2,7 часа, что на сиденьях Богдана - мука. На Тролзах сиденья установили удобные, только вот на Тролзах уже начали скрипеть редукторы, что режет слух. Поэтому предпочитаю пользоваться автобусами, не смотря на их цену, ибо быстро и комфортно.
Trams and buses from #czechoslovakia still in use :-D
like in czech and slovak republic :D
@Рамис Карама good piece of engeniering... 50 years and still in service :D
Tatra trams can serve 100+ years. A masterpiece of engineering.
Since when Czechoslovakia produced trams and buses? Why YOU DO NOT HAVE THEM NOW? Czechoslovakia does not exist 30 years not, but these trams and buses very modern.
@@sundayspring252only the exterior and interior is new. The frame, engines, bogies, all the systems are of chekhoslovak manufacture.
The trams with the small narrow windows on the door, bring back childhood memories to me. They remind me of the trams in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in the 70s.
I find it amazing that despite all the age of the vehicles and the age of the buildings around them, there is not a single piece of graffiti in sight, I saw maybe a small scratch on one of the subway trains as it was leaving but I doubt it was graffiti to be honest.
Around where I live the busses and trains are pretty much graffitied once in service (in the case of trains they were graffitied during delivery from another state in one case).
Quite a refreshing sight to be honest, historical vehicles kept in good condition.
It's probably because anyone who tries to graffiti a tram will spend the rest of their life in a labor camp, along with all their relatives.
@@ElevationStationProductions don't know. In Russia we don't send people to Gulag anymore (sadly, in some cases), but Buses, Trams are always clean. And I even don't talk about Metro - there is 0 trash cans in whole system but nobody is littering. It might be cultural thing. We look at public transportation as "our" thing. You don't litter at home so you don't litter in public transportation as well.
@@chatnoir1224 I happen to agree with you, it's less consequences for doing something, even if you did the same consequences in the western world, it would just make them more inclined to make sure they don't get caught. The people there just don't feel inclined to damage and graffiti public property, which is good. Although you could argue they are the ones lucky enough to catch the trams or busses, the lower class there might not have such a luxury.
This is what western world is hard to see. Thank you for sharing this video.
Yes, for a lot of western people its not nice to see, how modern Pyongyang get last years!
@@KT4Dani I dont see anything modern here. Just some 1 to 2 refurbished trains and 1 - 2 refurbished trams. Go 1km outside of pyongyang and you'll see the actual life of north koreans. The buildings are just money spend to make it seem like north korea has money. Most of these are not even inhabitated
@@fleekrushyt9410 I know also suburban areas. When iam in DPRK, i also travel outside...sometimes more than 400km. This areas are different, but also there some go into modernisation last years. You see, that this tramvideo is also 2 years old. Now, over 35 trams are modernisated and trolleybusses nearly complete.
@@fleekrushyt9410 It's quite the opposite, NK doesnt have money because of embargo and all the dumb american sanctions but they do what they are capable of with the limit they have. Imagine what would happen to a country like Slovakia, Estonia, Hungary or whatever if they are fully isolated and cant trade with anyone in the world, they'd have hunger and poverty.
Dieser Stadt sieht super aus , schönes Video ...
Vielen Dank! Ja, es tut sich derzeit sehr viel in Pyongyang, aber auch im ganzen Land! :-)
KT4Dani aber total ¡
Da kommen ja richtige Erinnerungen hoch, beim Anblick der alten U-Bahn-Züge. Wie oft bin ich als Kind in West-Berlin damit gefahren..........................
:-) Das glaube ich Dir aufs Wort! Da empfehle ich ein bisschen auf meinem Kanal herumzustöbern, habe die Metro öfters besucht, darunter auch 2x das komplette Netz! Videos dazu findest Du hier aus dem Jahr 2015 und 2017.
An manchen Fenstern sind sogar noch die eingekratzten Graffiti aus Berlin. ^^

Muy buena respuesta!

@@Anticommunism99 get over yourself and stop viewing everything through such toxic ideology and partisanship.
@@cageybee7221 it's not toxic its a system that killed more than 200 million people worldwide and should not exist in the future
This is utterly satisfying to watch. On the one hand, their transportation system seems to be quite good, with Trolleybuses and Trams.
On the other hand, it's so weird to see a city in such perfect optical condition, and then I also realized that there were no advertisements whatsoever, only the (probably) propaganda from the Leadership in the DPRK.
So on the places, where i stay there wasnt any advertisements - thats right. But outside of city or the bigger streets near cityborder, there are some advertisement-bords like also in our countries. :-) For example, there are also marketing for some automobiles and other. But its on some special places and not in every place inside of the city. I like this very much, so for example in our german cities every place is full of advertisement...sometimes it looks terrible.
@@KT4Dani Yeah same in Switzerland
Still better than the public transport in most American cities. With so few automobiles, and the vast majority of people taking electrically run public transport, the air quality must be pretty good there.
yes, in Pyongyang are very good air! Feel very good after a visit there with fresh air...this in a capital! :-) The transportsystem is very good!
Air quality is actually pretty bad because of heavy industry, coal burning and pollution and fine dust coming over from neighbouring China. It's okay in summer but in winter it's pretty bad.
KT4Dani From What I’ve heard from data and tourists who took the NK tour, they say the air quality is actually quite bad. Comparable to China. Due to industry and little emissions regulations for the cars that do hit the road, it creates poor air quality. Other than public transportation, electrification and renewable energy is non existent here.
I doubt they have good air. North Korea is industrial county, am I right? But the same time it is very undeveloped country with absolutely inefficient government, so I guess industry (plus cars and etc) spoils there heavy.
BEAUTIFULL CITY
Yes, i like the new design of northkorean cities. 😀
Is it wierd that i love their Chollima trolleybuses? They just look amazing! :D
The new trolleybusses 091, 316 and 321 looks very nice! :-)

from this modernisated KT8D5 are only this one actual in traffic...next ones are with doors at only one side and also only for one direction-service. they are in testservice now and after this succs, all other trams will be renovated soon. :)
@@KT4Dani thanks for the info :D
They also have a subway
Subway has the best sandwiches
@@KT4Dani oh yeah, i was about to ask why do they even need two-way trams when from the looks in this video, most of the old KT8D5 seems to have only on driver's cab in shape to be used. It's good to know, they're doing the one-way trams.
Very beautiful video, interesting to see the different types of trams. 👍
Thank you! 😃
All electric. So environmentally friendly :)
It's just because electricity is cheaper than fuel
M4 Sherman Long Term yes. But actually it’s because electricity is just far superior in city’s. Also it’s a win win. Don’t get why there are any city’s in a civilized world where public transport is not using electricity
@@CaptivaLP If possible electric public transportation is usually better, but sometimes diesel buses are superior in some ways
most of pyongyang's power is nuclear aswell, so not even the power generation produces much co2.
@@CaptivaLP because those countries have powerful oil and gas lobbies that block electrification. north korea obviously does not have those corporations or any for that matter.
Und auf einmal ist Nordkorea sympathisch... Tolles Video!!
Wonderful city with wonderful people
thats true! Korean peoples are very friendly :-)
i really REALLY hope that this is a joke
People are wonderful but not the Government
12:44 is that a renewed Skoda 15TrM?
Epic video. And this music... I love it!
Yes, Pyongyang are make very good works with trams. they dont have so much money, but they make a very good citytraffic! :) Very stron and good work there! I like it what is possible there :)
Quite yeah, Im from czechia, and i meet newer types of those every day :D
Cleaness and no advertisment pollution. Gives us that profound feeling of serenity and bliss.
Там мало частных машин - это прекрасная перспектива для Пхеньяна по созданию высоко-скоростного общественного транспорта столицы.
Ce reportage particulièrement documenté est très riche d'enseignement !
Merci beaucoup :)
Great design for new trolleybus and trams.
Yes, its a very modern and futuric design! Very good! :)
It's like how we saw very modern and futuristic in the 60s... A twentysome years old MB Citaro bus from the 90s looks like alienware compared to these garbage. :)
Do they produce those trolleybusses in North Korea? If yes, I wonder if they have any plans to export those...

15:43 Ahh subway trains from 1970 bought in Berlin
Yes, they makes very good service! :-) ...i laught about that our capital in Berlin reactivate this same trains two years ago, because newer trains have problems. But our peoples in "modern Berlin" cant reactivate them without problems and in same time in Northkorean capital they running since centuries everytime and regulary! :-)
Being a Chinese, I was taught the subway is exported from China. Chances are, the Soviet copied from East Germany, and then China copied from Soviet. Same thing with normal trains.
Yep, and most of the trams are second hand Czech 1970s-1980s ones. Still, shows how well built they were if anything.
Die tatras sind robust wie hölle
@@fredwangonline soviets copied the subway from East Germany?!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂 Poor Google! Your teachers are as false as your products!!!

The metro seems OK.
A bit like traveling to the past. Could be fun for a vacation.
it's great if you want some soviet nostalgia.
Pyongyang is so clean...

Everytime i see the passenger inside the bus while you are filming, you just feel like you're a celebrity from the other world.
An entire society without cellphones, in 2019. Fascinating
Look there...all have mobilephones!
They have their domestic phones, and Chinese imports all using a modified Android 4 OS.
KT4Dani Some can’t afford a smartphone in Pyongyang though. I would not say “all”
Token Black they even got a NK version of angry frogs
They have smartphones, but no real internet(at least to most people).
Many years have passed and I'm still curious about this, as no one seems able to answer...
Why are the trolleybuses exempted from the daytime running lights rule???
The bright smile of the passengers replaces the daytime running lights.
I think, it's saving power. Just imagine, every trolleybus drawing around 150W (headlights, taillights, dashlights, etc.) extra from the lines. If there are 10 trolleybusses you get 1.5kw/h extra consumption. If the trams are taken into equation, you have a pretty big extra power consumption which has a toll on a supposedly fragile power grid.
I can't see other reasons, because the cars, trucks and other busses have them on and they don't rely on the power grid.
@@goldenstatefreeway9737 Then, diesel bus passengers must be very unhappy lol
@@ndc5544p That could be one explanation. But on the other hand, if you've watched other North Korean bus/tram/metro videos, you can see some trams even have multi-colored decoration lights at night...... Wouldn't power supply be more of a problem at night?
BTW, since the newer trolleybuses were introduced after the DRL rule (I remember seeing DRL in news reports as early as in 2012), it should be safe to say that North Koreans still haven't mastered the technology or secured part supply for LED automotive lighting...

Most cleanest city
thats true. :)
These are trams of the T6 series and the T3 series, which were produced in the city of Pilsen in the Czech Republic. Today they are no longer produced because they are technically obsolete. They are delivered to North Korea at a depreciated price. 13,945 T3 trams were produced in the years 1962-1997. 296 T6 trams were produced in the years 1991-1998.

Way better than anything here on the east coast
Ocean Shen Of coarse, their entire economy is poured into only a few cities in the country. So you would expect them to have good public transport, at least from the area. But I would also say that the US has a serious public transport problem...
Trolley looks better than the ones in Philly. LoL

easy go there and film! :-) the situation is changed a lot last years! :-)
I love how the overhead wires are designed so poorly that all the trams need a rope to pull the pantograph down so it doesn't get caught in places xD.
Does this observation make you good and superior?
@@douglasallen511 No? I just find it funny than rather to rearrange the overhead wires the rope has been incorporated in their own domestic tram design. You gotta work with what you got. I don’t know how you even slightly got a sense of superiority in that comment.
Ziemlich gut gefilmt und geschnitten und recht gut die Atmosphäre aufgenmmen, dies verstärkt mit der Musik. Verglichen mit dem, wie Sie früher gefilmt haben, ist dies eine neue Qualität. Hat Spaß gemacht zu gucken.

Why do trams and trolleybuses run so slowly? Restrictions on electricity?

That is the same tram we had in Hungary. A Czeck Tatra 8000kms away from me was the absolute last thing I expected wtf
it's easy to forget, with all of the hearsay coming out of the country saying all kinds of conflicting but universally awful things, that north korea is an actual country where people live and not a desolate pit of despair and nuclear weapons.
Its important to seperate the daily life of peoples, citytransports and politics. We in GDR have some years ago a similar system, but we was also happy and have a normal daily life. (other than world, but not unhappy)...so also in Northkorea s lot is more normal than mostly europeans/americans think. Yes, i was there for 9 visits, also more than only a week!
The best public transport in the world.
Прекрасный город!
Это верно
Я тоже за
This is a great video. I'd like to ask, are you planning to organize more photography trips to North Korea in the future? Would it be possible to join you on such a tour?
Its planned in future. But since 2020 the borders are closed complete and its unknown, when DPRK will reopen borders for foreigners...maxbe in next 2 years its possible, maybe it need more time. Nobody knows.
Reminds me of the USSR in the 1980s.
How about your iSSrael?
Beautiful city and clean
Что то совсем забили на контактную сеть...)

А я думаю - что за приколы с пантографами? А это КС!
Я то смотрю, на 11:11, чё за провода висячие? Неужто витая пара такая или оптоволоконная сеть? А потом 10 секунд спустя я такой: О_о
Нельзя так кс запускать, нельзя...
It looks as if they had opened up a bit and modernized their public transport, also slightly more cars around there
This country get more open last years! :-)
KT4Dani: Great to hear that, this country has a lot of potential
Не троллейбус по проводам, а провода по троллейбусу)) а серьезно, то все чисто, ухожено, приятно смотреть=)

Жалко, что у Путина нет сына и внука. Путин стал бы Великим Диктатором России, сын царём, а внук офицяльно Богом. Вот тогда моглибы вы жить в такомже комфорте как северные Корейцы!!! Ведь пропаганда всё может нарисовать, правда только в пустых головах рабов, но за то как красиво и богато! :)

Great video! New transportation methods: Gasoline buses, taxis, new style trams, electric bikes and roller skates!
Thanks! Yes, Northkorea do a lot for good public transport!
Hi Dani, great video. Do they have a transport museum or do they keep any older vehicles for preservation?
Thanks! They have a museum, but the historic cars (trams and trolleybusses) are also in normal traffic and dont stay in museum! They are running and have special plaques with historic text. :)
@@KT4Dani Thanks for the reply. That's interesting that they keep the old stuff going, is there bus/tram enthusiasts over there?
Some workers in Depots are enthusiasts! :-) , but the historic vehicles have a special history in the city with visits of leadership! :-)
@@KT4Dani It's a petty the world has such a dim view of this place, their just ordinary people with normal interests like the rest of us. Your videos are good because they give an insight into normal life there. Keep up the good work!
The old subway trains used to run in West Berlin
Czechoslovak trams
I read somewhere that this is the most common tram Rolling stock on Earth apparently. Communists really like trams. I guess when your only cars are ladas yugos, you don't have to worry about traffic
@@liamtahaney713 trams were just cheaper to make than cars, so why invest much into car developement? atleast this was the socialist bloc mindset. if one tram can hold 50 people for the same material cost as 5 cars that could only hold 3 - 4 people the choice is obvious, trams are more efficient.
How did you manage to record all those clips? I thought tourists were only allowed to walk in certain areas of the city..
By the way... 6:45 What the...?!?! XD
I organisite my own travels there...so no problem to walk also in other ares. Scrat is my talisman and looks insode some videos :-D
Cidade limpa, asfalto em boas condições e sem buracos, sem moradores de rua ou gente pedindo nos semáforos.
Why the panthographs sometimes go down?, for example at 4:07 on that T6B5, or 5:00
A beautiful and romantic city.
The new subways are based on the old Berlin subways and the one new tram model is based on an old Tatra wagon!
Everybody know it! Look at our modernisations...its the same!
@@KT4Dani
Yes, but nobody claims here a completely "new self developed model", as the korean leader said in case of the subway.
No idea why this is in my recommended, aber schönes Video!
Vielen Dank!
This is a public transport system in the capital city? Handful of ancient trolley buses, suspect some photographed several times. Anyone like to make a comparison with normal cities, there are many videos on RUclips of others. Try the many of London, UK for example.
- Normal cities
- London
Something's wrong here lol.
@@runoflife87 Why is London not a normal city.
@@Thursdaym2 horrible metro, no trolleys, almost no trams, badly planned streets.
@@runoflife87 AHAHAH ты из какой деревни, дружок??)
You are right. Even though I think this is obviously some silly Northern Korea propaganda video, they can't hide the fact that even their capital and it's transport is a shithole thanks to their incompetent political regime.
How do you have access to tape these? I thought you can just go on organized tours to North-Korea and your tour guide shall be there with you all the time?
Other than that, amazing shots, long time been dreaming about visiting the place. They had Ikaruses also, but unfortunately they have been taken out of traffic already. :/
Iam create my own tours and be there with my northkorean friends...so its easy! :-)
@@KT4Dani how is this possible?
I have also been walking around on my own, no restriction for videos or photos. No one checked my luggage when flying out and we where free to walk around on the tarmac taking pictures of the airplanes. Everything you read about NK comes from USA or South Korea. Don’t believe the propaganda, go there and see for your self.
@@bokhans Thx Hans.... it is just weird, cause all I hear here on youtube too that you cannot walk around without a guide at all and you can just go on organized group tours.
BPO - 346 my recommendation is to travel with a friendship organization. Gives you much more freedom than traveling on your own or with a commercial group.
Der Satz "bloß ein einziges Auto auf einer langen, breiten Straße" trifft definitiv nicht mehr zu.
Die Jahre sind inzwischen schon lange vorbei. Seit 2014 ist ein deutlicher Anstieg der Autos zu verzeichnen. Inzwischen steht man mehrere Ampelphasen, gerade am Nachmittag.
Fantastic city ! ! ! !
i know!
Noch ein klasse Video aus Korea Daniel! Ich sehe, dir gefällt es dort, und ich sehe auch warum. Ich finde es auch interessant dass ČKD es geschafft hat auch so weit am Osten ihre Trams zu verkaufen.
LG aus Ingolstadt,
David Jürgen!
Vielen Dank! :-) ...ja, mir gefällt es dort sehr gut! Wenn man selbst aktiv hinterfragt, stellt man schnell fest, dass Nordkorea einfach anders ist, als es hier jeder versucht darzustellen. Aber auch ohne Nahverkehr ist dieses Land kulturell sehr reizvoll! :) ...man muss aber zugeben, dass ich vor 15 Jahren erst über die Tatrabahnen von diesem Land erfahren habe. Und jetzt reist man öfters dorthin als in andere Städte hier im Lande...ach was, ich fotografiere in Pyongyang mehr, als ich es in meiner Heimatstadt Plauen mache. :)
Ja da hast du voll Recht! Die Leute stellen sich das Land wie Russland vor 70 Jahren vor. Ich habe mir ganz Asien so merkwürdig vorgestellt. Aber wenn ich nach Tokyo flog, und dort eine Weile war, habe ich gesehen dass ich voll daneben war. Die Leute Asien sind rein kulturell gesehen viel reicher als fast jedes andere Volk. Nordkorea ist nicht so deutlich anders als z.B Vietnam oder Südkorea. Man will es uns nur so vorstellen. Also Plauen ist auch nicht so sehr groß, und Pyonyang ist es schon:-) Ich denke, nachdem ich ein Paar deine Videos gesehen habe, dass ich auch Korea Mal besuchen muss. Habe schon Pläne für Ukraine (auch wegen deiner Videos) und Russland.
LG!
Das freut mich, wenn meine Hobbyvideos zum reisen animieren! Kann ich nur empfehlen! :-) Man lernt neben Verkehrsbetrieben auch viel über das Volk kennen...alles recht wichtige Erkentnisse für einen selbst! :-)
@@KT4Dani Dani, du muss noch nach Ägypten reisen - Tatras hatten auch dorthin geschaft. Nur der Zustand von ihnen ist sehr
"Abenteuerlich". Noch schlimmer als in Ukraine.
