We noticed these 4 differences between Sydney light rail and Melbourne trams. Every state in Australia has its own State Government hence its own public transportation.
#sydney #melbourne #australia #lightrail
as a melbournian the only reason we have worse disability access is because since we didn't tear up our network in the 1950s we still use older rolling stock including some high floors where as sydney is full low floor
Haha yeah but the newer trams are pretty good ❤
Melbourne trams are not good and they're very dirty inside guys. Sydney trams are nice and very clean, I'm Melbournian living in Melbourne but i must tell the truth. Sydney beat Melbourne a lots
@@zebrakacole5822 Our older trams just got refurbished, so I don't know what you're talking about...
@@jaym9762 when i visited Sydney i enjoyed all sorts of public transport, using my credit card which was like free. ( there was not any deduction on my credit card, ) especially ferries , Sydney has nice ferries in the world . But when i visited Melbourne it was that boring in Melbourne CBD, i tried some small boats they call them ferries as well 😁😁😁😁😁😭😭😭😭😭 but i was asked to pay $86 Aud for a just 30 minutes ride i said what!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 why here you change that big amount with this small boat just 30 minute ride in this dirty drainage river which doesn't have any Australian iconic views? Why in Sydney is amazing beauties with free 24 hours ride big and nice ferries? The tickets saller answered me : are you Australian resident? I said no, I'm not. She asked where are you from? I said Canada. She said look , this's Melbourne Sydney is the Leading city in Australia with all the beauties that Australia has are in Sydney, and that's why you enjoyed alots in Sydney . Sydney is the best city. She said, Melbourne is just for cultural but for you to enjoy Australia beauty then go to Sydney. Melbourne is behind to Sydney. Sydney is our head and heart city in Australia. Then i left, but also crazy weather in Melbourne, same time started raining for about 2 minutes then it stopped, then immediately storms and winds started after 5 to 15 minutes it was sunny again but too cold, i disliked Melbourne, Melbourne is crazy boring city. Sydney is the best.
@@zebrakacole5822 I am going to disagree with you on that, I found with Sydney that they go all way too slow. They might be clean but cannot compare to the sheer size and efficiency. Melbourne's trams are way easier to get around with unlike Sydney's trams. And plus, they are free within the city.
Melbourne tram netwrok is not just huge, it's the largest in the world...
@@OneDomidion what?
@@OneDomidion was that sarcasm?
The Hoddle grid is around 80 km square, not big for a metropolis like Melbourne.
Our tram network spreads out of the CBD to the inner city and outer suburbs as well, that's why it's huge and as successful as it is...
@@OneDomidion "for some reason" ??? What do you want us to do babes, shrink it???? Stupid
I'm a Melbournian and I find that Gold Coast Trams are faster than both Melbourne trams and Sydney trams by a long shot.
Gold Coast tram network is much more limited. Melbourne felt like an pedestrian centric European city, while gold Coast is like a car driven American city
Melbourne trams are free? Are you sure?
I knew it was free in the CBD but not everywhere else. Didn’t know that.
Melbourne trams are free in the cbd ‘free tram zone’ which is why he said ‘in the city’ which is a term that is commonly used to refer to just the CBD and immediate surroubds
"In the city Melbourne trams are free" is what was said. Melbournians & Sydneites refer to the CBD as "the city". If outside the city/cbd, the name of city is said.
Melbourne trams are not just free in the CBD but also are free in Docklands.
However, in one block in the city they're not free, which is on Swanston St north of Latrobe St. So between Latrobe St & Victoria St need to have "touched on".
I have a bee in my bonnet about that.
As, on Elizabeth St between Latrobe St & Victoria St, it IS free.
Melbourne trams aren't free
@@garvinfrancis2796 "In the city Melbourne trams are free" is what he said. But very fast
In the City, Melbourne Trams are free. You don't need to touch on if journey is within ONLY CBD* & Docklands, either or both.
(He should've paused after saying city).
"The City" meaning CBD, & most Meburnians & many Sydneyites when saying "the city", are referring to CBD.
Tram journeys within the CBD blocks from Flinders St to Latrobe St, + to Queen Vic Market only along Elizabeth St & William St/Peel St + also to & in Docklands, have been free since 2015.
(*It's not free on Swanston St north of Latrobe St).
He didn't say it clearly or well, but what he said wasn't wrong either. Just depends on your definition of city. When someone lives in a City (metropolitan area) in Melbourne or Sydney saying the city very often refers to the CBD. You might be different.
Anyway, some people do ride for free outside CBD, lol but risking a $223 fine is entirely their decision.
By the way Victoria now beats nearly all other Public Transport fares in Australia. (came in this year, after that video was made last year). As now costs no more than the daily metro cap, to travel anywhere within the State.
Plus if already reached the cap ($9.20 weekdays, $6.70 Sat or Sun; less for concession card holders), on either Metro or Vline, rest of travel on either, is no extra cost
Didn’t listen very well, did you?
It’s only free if your in the CBD, the tram and outside will let you know if your in the free tram zone or not and if your entering or exiting the free tram zone
The 96 St Kilda to East Brunswick is very close to being 100% disability accessible. Not long to go now. Then the 86 is getting a large suite of upgrades next. It’s thankfully happening, slowly but surely, where the tram network is being converted into a more efficient modern light rail network. Hopefully one day it will be, where practicable, entirely separated from vehicles, or using AI and technology to give trams priority to speed up journey times through smart operations 🎉
trams are short, light rail got much longer carriages.
But who cares when the Melbourne teams go faster and gets you to where you want to get to quicker
@@charlie_draffin2699 is the average speed really higher? When I went to Melbourne trains had little signal priority and many of them ran on road mixing with traffic. Sydney has signal priority and runs on own right of way
@@cityplanner3063 This is the case of older trams in Melbourne, while Sydney uses newer trams, and one of their lines is an old cargo railway. In Melbourne CBD, the trams are better since they have MANY dedicated tram roads like swanston st and Bourke st. Trams are ultimately better in Melbourne cbd because of coverage, frequency and more right of way, and recently, inspired by melbourne, Sydney built George st to be tram dedicated. Overall, Melbourne’s trams are better in the cbd, but slower outside of the cbd. Sydney light rail is good for going any place fast IF you’re in the coverage area.
@@cityplanner3063 You have "trains". I assume that's re trams.
Many Melbourne tram routes do have signal priority at intersections. (Got yelled at by a tram driver once as didn't realise a T-priority light was now there at location I regularly cross.
There isn't priority switching at CBD cross road intersections (at a few, tho), but through the suburbs there is, & there's also priority at pedestrian crossings. If there's 2 or 3 trams coming & if waiting at pedestrian lights you will be waiting until all trams have gone past, & the lights never take anywhere as long to change when no trams.
As for faster. Depends where.
Swanston St is pretty much a tramway with own right of way as no other vehicles can travel along there between 6am-11pm, except for emergency ones, and cyclists can ride along Swanston St but only in bike lanes at side of the road, & they must stop if any tram stops to load/offload.
Travel time on trams on George St Sydney, & on Swanston St is close to same. Also in Melbourne people don't wander everywhere along Swanston St roadway, like do on George St (tho appears that's not as much now as Syd people got more used to them)
Out of the city where Melb's trams run along the median on some routes they are fast, & very often passing cars.
On the 96 & 109 routes, once past Crown/Clarendon St & run along the former railway alignments, are super fast, & get full priority with traffic lights changing for them well before getting to road it will be crossing. Some locations have small boom gates if not a major road.
Melb's E-2 Class trams & Sydney's R1-Class are basically same tram, with modifications re/to each (with Syd running a 2-tram consists), so for the trams themselves same speed capacity.
(Now I want to see a parallel running of both -lol).
As I said, it depends along which route /road, which type of tram, & other factors as to which would be faster. Flinders St trams can be a bit slower (not slow tho), & Bourke St trams are quick.
Just don't include heritage listed W-Class trams in a comparison as of course are primarily tourist trams
Melbourne trams are long take a look at a d2 and a c2 and e2 THEY ARE BASICALLY THE SAME LENGTH AS THE E CLASS ( a e class is 3 long carriages while d2 + c2 are 5 short carriages)
The green one is gorgeous!💚
All of our trams as green. The trains are blue and the busses are meant to be orange but somehow never are.
Colour-coded Public Transport goes so hard
You didn't show any shots of Melb's E-Class trams
Which we have 100 of. They are fully accessible, & in fact Melb had quite of number accessibility stops, well before Sydney got trams (again).
In fact Syds R Class tram & Melb's E-2 Class tram are basically same tram design, but modifications re each as wanted by each operator in each state.
(& Sydney runs 2 trams as as a single consist).
In Melb's E-2Class trams there are 2 wheelchair markings each, towards both ends of tram (so 4!).
Melb's C-Class trams are accessible (little more difficult re room but can roll in at accessible stop)
Could roll in to a D-Class tram too but they are a crap design, and have too many cramped areas in it;s design.
Melb's E-Class trams are E6001-E6050, and E26051-E26100, & EVERY one is accessible for wheelchairs.
Melb also has 100 new (to be) G-Class trams on order & they will also be low floor & accessible.
Only the 1970s Z-Class aren't accessible, & the 1980s A-Class, though not impossible on latter.
Z-Class will gradually be removed as the new G-Class are rolled out.
There's only 2 routes in Melbourne that have trams that don't run accessible trams but those lines do have platform stops in city & inner suburbs, so they do accessibility for people with other mobility issues. All other 22 tram routes in Melbourne has either exclusively E-Class or D-Class (on some lines) or a combination of classes on many lines.
So if an A-Class is next, a D or E Class accessible one will be next after, & all accessible trams are marked on timetables, & is show on PTV app if next tram is an accessible one
not all tram routes have accessible trams like the 57 59 67 and 70
Trams like 19, 86, 96, 109, 11, and sometimes 48, 5, 6, and 72 are accessible for wheelchairs
@@GameHT604 Hi. Route 19 sometimes runs B's and D's. Along the 109 route up to 11 A-class trams are being used (multiple by out & in several times per day). 109's has been C-Class for several years, but some of those got put to 48 route.
D-class route 12 operate along 109 route, & people going to CBD (from inner suburbs) are just wanting to be on next tram. While D-Class is low floor, and lever access (from a platform stop) interior is worst design, of all Melbourne tram classes. And not a 'fully accessible' tram.
"Fully Accessible" = fully roll in/roll out without any assistance or supervised.
"Accessible" = roll in/out, or walk in/out for vision impaired, for example but may be more difficult or need a bit of assistance (push, or guided).
While my comment above was very critical of this video that implied Sydney has a lot of accessible trams and Melbourne doesn't, & also critical of Melbourne people (in other comments elsewhere) who say that there's not much re accessible trams & accessible stops, I won't argue, there needs to be more.
One important thing to note is that there's a difference between "fully accessible" and "accessible". Advocate groups, & certain political (never been a Government) parties like to just cite only the "fully accessible".
'Fully accessible' platforms is 28% Of 1700 stops. With tram services about same %age
Total 'Accessible' stops is 38% , with same (approx) total for trams.
Sydney's L1 line isn't "fully accessible" & wasn't as accessible as it is (where it is) until they new different trams on it.
I've not been on Sydney's L2 or L3, as when I was last in Sydney (late 2019) L2 was only running test trams (line opened Dec 14 '21).
So don't know how much L2 & L3 stops are "fully accessible" or just "accessible".
Melbourne has 1700+ tram stops & 420+ accessible stops (fully accessible or accessible), while Sydney has only 42 tram stops. Total!
Don't anyone tell me Sydney has more, re accessibility!
By the way I lol'd at something I read (obviously written by a Sydney resident): Sydney "network consists of L1 Dulwich Hill, L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford lines",
making it second largest tram network in Australia".
While it is true, it's more like a baby, with 3 lines /25 km of routes, & not even a much younger sibling, compared to Melb's 24 lines/250 kms of routes
trams have run in sydney since 1997
@@dwnetwrok Hi, If you're just mentioning when trams started - again - in Sydney, ok;
but if you're correcting:
I only commented re when L2, L3 opened. Made no comment re when L1 opened.
Thought saying "wasn't as accessible as it is" until they (put) new different trams on it, & put a year date after & re "(late 2019) L2" & couple other things said implied L1 was before 2019.
In one bit - "line opened Dec 14 '21" I did omit re which line & being a re-opening.
As the L1 was closed for some months in 2021 L1 due to issues with (previous type) trams that ran along it. (it was those older trams that weren't accessible btw) -
2021 News item: "Dulwich Hill line of Sydney's tumultuous light rail has been closed indefinitely. The cracking was worse than they originally expected and revealed the light rail could be out of action for up to 18 months". (*cracking in the trams bodies).
However, they found & imported trams that were 100% compatible. (All imported tram units usually require some work, to make it compatible for it run on each city's lines).
They also gave testing new ones along the line high priority, & had trams running on L1 again within a few months.
(I don't know how far the repairs, or rebuilds if they need to have progressed with the older L1 trams, bit will see 2 types of trams run along there; if not are already.
The L1 isn't integrated to the network, as both classes of trams (prior one, & current) that run along L1 can't run on L2 or L3.
Also L1 when first section opened in the '90s was Not a light rail.
As 1) it only ran to near Darling Harbour; & 2) it shared roadway with vehicles for much of it, except for part from (near) Pitt St, to George St &
that was 2-way traffic, not like now, with one-way traffic, separated from tramline, like west of George St; &
3) as it ran for on 3.5km, until the 2000s;
4) had buy a ticket specially for it,
even if had a weekly ticket ('Travel Pass', then 'MyMulti' until Opal) that was valid for/on all modes including ferries.
Because of above, particularly because had to buy a separate ticket (& multi-modal tickets weren't valid) many Sydney people (back then) thought it was bit useless re as public transport for Sydney people and a common comment was "guess it'd be good for tourists" since in the 90s that was what mostly went to Darling Harbour area (except for residents going to the Exhibition Centre & venues near it), as in the 90s there were very few restaurants and bars alongside city side of Darling Harbour with (now defunct) Harbourside Shopping Centre being about about only place there, besides 'attractions' venues'
By the way that MyMulti weekly was a great ticket, but it became bit less great, as the "inner" ticket (MyMulti 1, think was name) originally included ferries but then didn't & get and pay more (of course) for MyMulti 2
Melbourne trams are not free. They just have a large “free tram zone”. If they’re free, then why are there myki scanners on each one?
Well sydney trams are technically free from moore park - circular quay but the government wont actually say it
This is what America could have been if we didn’t spend all our tax dollars on busses.
The buses aren't the enemy bud. The real kicker is the highways and obscenely wide stroads, plus the zoning laws that dictate that businesses must have huge parking lots and that many areas are only allowed to have single family homes. All of this is bankrupting city after city since the upkeep of the infrastructure is so expensive compared to the tax income from the people who the infrastructure serves. Too few people to pay for too much inefficient infrastructure.
But also several cities in the United states have light rail systems that are decently big. Not european or Australia big but still ok.
The buses are not the issue friend, it’s the cars and expanding suburbs
It looks like there isn't even a road for cars.
This would be amazing to walk in, affect your being dropped off right at businesses front doors.
I can't see why my fellow Americans can't understand how great all that is. I'd love that, and it's free!
Yes, George St in Sydney CBD is much more friendly to walk along ever since they fully pedestrianized it in 2019. I'm looking forward to other streets such as Church St in Parramatta to also become pedestrianized next year when the L4 line opens.
Sydney used to have a HUGE tram system about twice the size of Melbourne’s Current tramway, It was also WAY more efficient than Melbourne’s trams.
Then some politicians overdosed on stupid pills and had them ripped up.
Key words "used to". Dumb government took it all down.
now it's just a tiny spur in loftus, MELBOURNE #1!!!!!!
That is such a lie there is no why it had twice the size of Melbourne tram network. longest tram route in Melbourne go to Vermont sorth
So if tram in Sydney were twice the size back than .that literally means that it,s going into regional New South Wales
@@thefrenchmarxist8497 That tram line to Vermont South needs to be extended at least to Knox shopping centre.
I've been on trams in Melbourne it was called Yarra it was so so cool people in Auckland don't know the Difference between trains and Lightrail i just tell them save up your money and Travel it's as simple as that i did t went over there in 2004
I like the Sydney light rails caf urbos 100 and 3 and AHX05
Melbourne wins
Well no pit Sydney doesn’t care much abt trams
Oh cmon! (Few hours later) finally I,m in Melbourne
Lovely city
Love melb❤❤

Melbourne trams arent exactly free, you still have to touch a machine with a card called a Myki, which acts as your ticket
melbourne trams are only free in a certain part of the city. idk which one tho
the cbd, the boundary also stretches to waterfront city (docklands)

I love Sydney is so beautiful with alots of beautiful ladies and nice friendly people in Sydney, lots of things to do in Sydney, very clean city with lots of jobs opportunities. Melbourne is very boring and quite nothing to do in Melbourne, Melbourne public transport is fake, lots of delays and CANCELLATIONS in Melbourne trains. Melbourne weather is the worst in the world . Melbourne is very dirty city. Without jobs opportunities. Melbourne people are very rude and they can fight one another at anytime
someone's salty 🤣🤣
Someone jealous 🤫
Sydney the most overrated city in all of Australia and I can dubunk all those claims you have Sydney's better
@@thefrenchmarxist8497 I think you’re still a sleepy 🥱 that’s why you’re not aware of what’s happening around, Melbourne is the current overrated city in Australia right now and it’s the bored city in Australia with high unemployment rates so it’s very hard to get jobs in Melbourne
Pffft, I live in Sydney and it’s the biggest shit hole in the country. Everything you listed is totally contrary to how it is. What an overrated and thoroughly garbage city.
Melbourne is better full stop.
@Pilot_Gear yes
@Pilot_Gear too many 1 way streets and tolls. But il give you better weather, better harbour and Paul Kelly 😁
Melbourne better ? Unfortunately Melbournes alley ways stink like human urine. Sydney is cleaner and greener. You can actually walk and not step on a syringe lol.
@Pilot_Gear As all streets in Melbourne are wide and rather go into the city or parallel to it, and Melbourne has the highest skyline in Australia, it's impossible to get lost in Melbourne. If you miss a turn off in Melbourne, you just take turn at the next exit and double back. Where as Sydney is chaotic.
@@jakez6851 I think you've got Melbourne and New York mixed up
Sydney because air con
justban cars please
We need cars for those who don't want to ride public transport and get there without taking separate routes on public transport
I think we all agree that Bendigo trams are the best trams in Australia, if not the world. Bendigo trams are also far superior compared to Balarrat trams.
Sydney light rails are very cool🚃🚃 Melbourne light rail sucks it’s only have one carriage.🚃
Melbourne vs Sydney again; how childish. I live in Melbourne, and Sydney is a way more spectacular and vibrant city in every way.
Sydney is glitz and money and its people are superficial and boastful whereas Melbourne wears its age and history with unassuming modesty and the people are authentic and sincere. Sydney is superficial, Melbourne has character. Speaking as a Sydney resident.
@@davidlang1125 "unassuming", you must be joking. Melbourne people are the most self-conscious in Australia; constantly trying to prove something. "We are the most livable city, we are the sporting capital, we are the arts capital, we are the coffee capital, we are the food capital, we the fucking laneways and graffiti capital.....". Yet they all dress in black and also spend half their time protesting about something.
As a melbournian, Sydney has a lot of downsides, such as mind blowing tolls and worse traffic than Melbourne. It still is vibrant and beautiful though. In my opinion, Sydney is overrated, but still a bit better than Melbourne.
@@Detrabot Sydney traffic is no longer worse than Melbourne. Furthermore, if you know your way around Sydney, there are optional routes you can take due to all the curves & diagonals. In Melbourne, you are always stuck on the rectangular traffic light grid.
And trams are an absolute nuisance because they stop in the middle of the road.
Melbourne is so much better than Sydney. The nightlife, sporting venues, galleries, buildings, restaurants, coffee, parks, roads ecta are so much better in Melbourne than Sydney. Sydney's roads are a mess, whereas Melbourne has wide and straight roads that make navigation simple.
I,m to obsessed with Sydney Light Rail
Really, no one asked.
👍🙂👍
Melbournes train network is a joke. Trams also take forever. Good for within cbd tho.
you think Melbourne's tram network are a joke? They are the largest tram network in the world
Geez Sydney siders get triggered fast, always saying the old rivalry is beneath them while quietly seething at Melbourne's growth and rejuvenation.
That's a massive understatement.
@@Andrew-df1dr 3801Productions is also quite wrong about Sydney's old tram system size, comparing to Melbourne's now. Difference of only 40kms of rails, although did have more trams (1600 v 500), but as E-class trams has capacity of 3 old trams, it's not an equal nor fair comparison.
Also arguing a city trams are better based on something that existed many decades ago & went into oblivion, & saying a non-existing thing is better than a current thing, is ridiculous, stupid argument.
Sydney trams are faster since the Urbos 3 and Urbos 100 Trams operate 80km/h in a tunnel
Only in a tunnel,, what about the wait times? I could say the same thing about the E Class on the St Kilda Lightrail going the same speed
YEAHHHHHHH MELBOURNE BETTER

Melbourne is a much better city than Sydney. Melbourne has the best restaurants, nightlife, galleries, coffee, sporting facilities and events, parks, buildings in the country.
A major letdown of Sydney is it's roads. Melbourne is better designed. The roads are wide and straight and it's impossible to get lost in Melbourne. This is aided by Melbourne's high skyline which is visible from many parts of Melbourne and acts as a great reference point.
Restaurants, no. Nightlife, yes. Galleries, no. Coffee, yes. Sporting facilities, yes. Events, no. Parks, definitely not. Buildings, not a chance. Beaches, no. Scenery, no. Markets, yes. Weather, no. Cycling tracks, yes.
Sydney grew organically. Melbourne was planned from the onset.
Sydney is in an ancient glacial basin with all that challenging topography. Melbourne is on a flat plain.
So this competitive nonsense is a waste of energy. Both are great cities with their distinct attributes and weaknesses.
But when it comes to public transport like this topic is about. Melbourne is a league behind Sydney and far more car dependent. The stats speak for themselves. Melbourne needs better rail connectivity to really shine.
@@Dobuan75 Melbourne certainly needs better rail connectivity. The state government is building the Suburban Rail Link which will connect many of the train lines.
Melbourne also needs to expand its tram network, particularly in the western and northern suburbs.
@@Dobuan75restaurants, galleries, and events are all better in Melbourne, that is just objectively the truth
@@jackalcrackle clearly it’s not “objective” because you can’t categorise any of these empirically. Also you appear unfamiliar with the Sydney dining environment. Similarly I suspect you are not well versed on the galleries of Sydney, however I’ll grant you that Melbourne excels at certain events.
@@Dobuan75 I've been exposed to both, Melbourne definitely has more diverse and abundant dining and arts. That's not to say Sydney is lacking in anyway, it's also amazing, but it looks to be that Melbourne is slightly better in those 2 categories.
🚈🚈🚈🚈🚈🚈🚈🛣
Melbourne was great until it was destroyed by Dan Andrews and the left.
His government won the last election. Woohoo.
The problem is Melbourne trams are in Melbourne. PS trams are stupid should’ve been monorails
Monorails are stupid, slow and bloody expensive for what you get. If you want to build public transport light rail and heavy rail are the best options
What’s with the obsession with monorails? They’re incredibly inefficient, inflexible and difficult to integrate into city infrastructure. For example what do you do if the power goes out midway between stops? For many people it’s appeal is about its futuristic look. But that idea is stuck in the 1950’s. Get over it.
@@slysnake5617buses are better, theyre the only modes of transport that can fill in when everything else fails
You cant fool me into getting a monorail, ive seen the Simpsons.
@@kai-matthiasbast8612 Good luck trying to fit 400 people onto buses. Thats about the number of people the trams on some of Sydneys lines can carry per departure. Meanwhile a normal bus only has room for about 70 people. Plus you gotta pay for additional drivers, and the more complex maintenance of buses vs rail vehicles, Oh and the road infrastructure, buses wear out their right of way much faster than trams and...
Yeah sorry mate, good luck trying. And hey if you wanna see what bus mania looks like just go to Brisbane and see what we call a "Brisbane moment" on the busway
Look at all these cocky Melbournians lol
There's nothing like that Melbourne Tram Hum. It's like the Trams alive. Sydney Trams are just Bleh! Oh and Melbourne Trams are Sexier than Sydney's!
