OMG I live in Essen 😂
1:14 that is literally 5 mins from Where i live... WHY did i not know you were here...
Everytime there's a guided bus way, I always thought the bus is a tram.
Should become cheaper by turning it into a tram, or at least, hybrid or electric trolleybuses? The dedicated "way" is already built, which is the most expensive part of a tram system, but would be better in terms of power cost.
Some cities in South America built transit systems like this instead of trams or metros, arguing there were cheaper, and now they suffer serious overcrowding, and pollution problems. It's simply too small for medium and big sized cities. Even if you use articulated buses.
Apologies for my English btw!
nope it isnt cheaper... there are only a few stops that are guided... right between the "highway" A40 in germany... not sure, but that are only 6 or 7 stops. the rest is manual driving
I bet the Germans had guided buses up and running before we did. In the early 80s when the Tracbus project was launched, it was poo- pooed. One of the Metrobuses, with its guide wheels, is preserved.
The only guided bus way that I know of is the Vantage services between Ellenbrook and near Tyldesley in Greater Manchester but to see Citaros on a guided bus way is even better I think 😂😂
You should infiltrate the Bullring Shopping Centre because you can access these big pathways all the way at the top of the shopping centre.
I never seen this until today. This is pretty cool actually.
Same 😂
They are all over the uk two just roads which use buses with wheels on the side that touch the curb stone at the side to guide it along
Theres one at Cambridge
Agreeing with your comment!!!
That's where these type of busway was invented in the 80's
So this here could be called a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit). Seeing that they often cost 1/3 of an equivalent tram system, while offering better flexibility and similar passenger throughput they might be more and more popular in the future.
Public transport go brrrrrrrt
No because a bus needs more energy than a tram. That's the reason why railways exist.
Not quite, you can have a BRT without it being guided
Interesting Busway Ben
Where this place, mate?

Pacers without the tracks! Are they automated or is a driver having to concentrate to keep it in the gully's?
If you look at the front of the bus, small wheels at kerb level are visible next to the main wheels, these push on the steering to keep the bus on the route without any need for driver input.
@@lilyhopkins5044 need some input occasionally but does majority the work
the busses have guidewheels on a few positions... the driver hast only to brake and "give gas"
Very interesting
Take note on what you haven’t achieved Cambridgeshire. Essen is lot better with their guided busways and they know how to run it properly. Do like how there are bus stops by side of the motorway or expressway amazes me. Was this used to be a former railway line or was suppose to be a tram line. But instead it’s being used as a guided busway in the middle. Incredible.
I found this busway too slow. The buses go slower than the cars which is just embarrassing. Cambridge busway runs much faster than this.
@@benolifts Really?!
...maybe the cars just go faster in Germany...
@@trombonetortoise3406 Yeah they do
These buses even went underground (like a subway) in Essen, this route is what's remaining of this system.

It is a shame that the best part of the route has been removed
@@benolifts Underground Trolleybuses still exist in Boston if you ever make it there, I rode on them when i was vwery little and still remember how shocked I was that a BUS WAS GOING IN A TUNNEL with underground stations even!
Exactly! And same in Seattle, where they even share the tunnel tracks with the light rail tracks.
It used to be guided trolleybusway
Never seen anything like this before
Bruh bus train thats one way to prevent bus car collisions
How do the points work so the buses can change tracks?
As far as I'm aware, most places just depend on the driver taking over if route changes are needed.
They just come out onto the road mostly
Do you work in germany?
no
Wow!
Beno, ano ang mga guided busway na pumalo sa mahigit dalawandaang kilometro kada oras?
No one understands what you said.
@@Andrewjg_89 😂😂😂
no they arent... the max speed is about 80 km/h
@@cookiecats-eu Eh, walumpung kilometro kada oras?!
@@rsx-797drivelineinstitute8 erm sry what do you mean?
The drivers skill must be great. Those gullies would worry me
When did you film this?

Hi
So you managed to fly to Germany then

was expecting the next video to be: ‚...and this is how I actually got to Germany...‘ :)
Me too, although for a moment I wondered if he meant Essen (Germany) or Essen (Belgium). But it became clear very quickly that meant the former, so yeah.
