An underrated city you missed is Lyon, France. They have Light Metro, Heavy Metro, Trams, Light rail, Buses, Trolleybuses, Ferries, Suburban Trains and even an old Rack Railway!
It's not an old Rack Railway it's a Rack Heavy Metro.
@@Flamethrower2579 It re-uses a very old rack railway.
And two funiculars... 🙂
@@andrefourtier100 ah yes, how could I forget the funiculars… two of the most memorable parts of my visit
Hi, i'm from Lyon, but which line is Light Metro ? T3 ? And in the future, we'll maybe have cable car between Francheville and Gerland (but maybe not because lot of people in Sainte-Foy-Les-Lyons are against this projet )
Much too US-centered, unfortunately. There are a few cities elsewhere with more diverse systems than your top 3.
A few were mentioned already: Paris, Lyon, Tokyo. I'd add Sydney (they've got slow and express ferries and a cable car next to metro, tramways, busses, double deckers, light trains...).
You forgot the ferries in London and Berlin!
The Berlin S-Bahn is a commuter train I would say.
12:30 Ikarus 405
12:07 Ikarus 415T
12:18 mercedes conecto G
12:53 Siemens desiro 426
12:58 siemens flirt
Thank you for including my hometown!
In Mexico City we have many transports as well:
-12 metro lines (2 of railroad tracks and the rest of pneumatic tracks, all have different train models and all are manufactured by CAF)
-A light rail line
-A regional train line and soon another will open
-7 rapid transit bus lines or metro bus (In which there are normal buses, articulated and bi-articulated buses and a double-decker bus line)
-3 bus cable lines (cable car)
-Several trolleybus lines (Normal and articulated)
-Many bus, minibus and taxi lines that cover and connect the entire city
-A public bicycle system
What we don't have are tram lines :(
Missed Mexico City, They have Metro (subway and elevated, ALSTOM, CAF, Bombardier, CNCF) , Light Train, Trolleybus, Bus Rapid Transit, Bus, Micro Bus, Urban Van, Metro Cable, Suburban Train, Interurban Train, Bikes system
Correct
Exactly
Stockholm, Sweden has tramways, busses, metro/tube, commuter trains, ferries and local rails that include a narrow tracked system.
The second video featuring a hungarian specification on the thumbnail (at least...).... I am a glad hungarian :)
Missing NYC: NYC Subway, PATH, Staten Island Railroad, LIRR, Metro-North, Amtrak, Roosevelt Island Tramway, MTA Bus and Select Bus Service, Bee-Line Bus Service, Nassau Inter-County Express, Staten Island Ferry, NYC Ferry, Inter-City Bus, NJT Bus, NJT Commuter Rail. (any I'm missing???)
Missing Hong Kong: Urban Escalators, buses, streetcars, double-decker streetcars, subway, light rail, regional/commuter rail.
Those bus systems are too similar. No diversity. Same with the commuter rail. I live in Brooklyn and am not surprised or disappointed that NYC was not included.
@@nelsonricardo3729 I agree
Tokyo & Osaka also have metro, buses, regional trains, tram, and so on.
I hope you can visit Japan once more someday.
You missed out the Budapest Cogwheel Railway and the old soviet 81-717 Subway (1 remained in service on line 3).
No 717 is in service in budapest. Only the first e type remains as nostalgia.
As well as HÉV Suburban railway lines.
and the libegö (chair lift)
Thanx Tim. Nice insight to the variety of transit systems around the world!!0👍👍💚💚
Half of the transportation opportunities in Budapest are missing from this video. We have also CAF trams and russian metro. We have 4-5 different types of trollesbuses. We have 4 HÉV lines with LEW-MX or MIX/A trains (HÉV means something like S-Bahn. Total lenght: 97 km) We have a cog railway (length 3,7 km). We have a narrow gauge railway where children serve (length 11.2 km) and we have 3 city ship lines. (we have a thing it called "libegő" too, but it is out of order now)
There's also HK, with I think the world's only double-decker trams, plus light rail (high-floor but single-decker version of trams, & also don't share lanes with road vehicles, but also run at grade), MTR, HSR (15min to Shenzhen & to Guangzhou in 48min at the fastest), ferries, Ngong Ping cable car, both full-sized & minibuses (which fit more easily in the city's narrower streets, that can be about just as densely populated than the main roads too I think)
You should definitely do a part 2 to this video cause they're some noticeable omissions from here in the US, Europe, Asia etc, or at least that's what I gathered from the comments 😅. Keep up the good work man
May you visit Paris one day? You'll see metro (urban), regional express rail ("RER"), buses, tramways and Translohr "tramways", commuters trains, and (a bit for the fun) a small funicular.
I'm glad that San Francisco was number one. I would have liked to see Lisbon. Maybe not enough diversity there. I know you're more of a rail and bus guy, but many of these cities also have boat/ferry transit.
Miami, Chicago, La Paz, Tokyo, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Lisbon
Check out all the different public transit modes in Arlington, TX! There’s:
-Subsidized rideshare
-...
-That’s it. I mean, there’s one train station that isn’t actually in Arlington, but it connected to the rideshare region, so, there’s that?
Great vid. As a lifelong Massachusetts resident, I'm so happy Boston made the top 3. A small note, however: The ferries were left out. The MBTA runs 3 ferry lines that run from Boston harbor to surrounding towns and some that run to Logan International Airport and also to some of the harbor islands.
Medellin looks amazing
I think Mexico City could make this list. Has a metro, a light rail line, BRT, a commuter rail line, trolleybuses, a cablecar, and regular buses.
Nice train, great video, Gave you a SUB
FYI, the train at 1:35 is actually the 1995 stock, not the 1996 stock. You can tell by its very different propulsion sound at 1:47 - the 1995 stock is a lot quieter and has a higher-pitched propulsion sound than the 1996 stock.
In Berlin you missed:
3 further subway models… 2 more tram models… 3 more bus models.. 4 more S-Bahn models… 2 more regional train (which is not the S-Bahn) models… plus the privately operated regional train models of two further operators and their models … plus a taxi-like call mini bus service by the BVG
Il be on a flight when this premiers this morning got to wake up in just 3 hours
A much more varied transit system is Milan, Italy (in this video you can see the F tram in SF is from Milan).
Milan dispose of:
-Bus
-Trolleybus
-Tram (1928 edition, 1980 edition and 2000 edition)
-subway (2 lines driverless and 3 lines with the driver
-airport links
-S Lines (it's a subway in the inner city and it becomes a suburban train in the metropolitan area)
-Commuter rail network
-Regional network
I mean, you missed a big one.
Hey i didnt knowed that you also spotted the Swr trains cuz i love them very much!😄
10:55 what a beautiful area and tram!
Hey, the train at 19:25 is driving with its red lights at the front! How funny.
I know that you might have not gone to tokyo, but at least give that an honourable shoutout, I mean, they have EVERYTHING
12:09 looks exactly like the Astra Ikarus 415T trolleybuses that I rode when I was a kid in Bucharest. Back then, some of these trollies had TV sets in their interior and it was a pleasure to ride then! Some of them are still in service after 20 years! At 12:55 is a train (Siemens Desiro) that looks exactly like the Săgeata Albastră trains in Romania, some trains in Rhine-Main area in Germany or the NCTD Sprinter in San Diego area in California! And at 12:58 is a Stadler Flirt, which can be seen on service on many (not all) regional trains in Germany, on the TexRail in DFW area in Texas, and soon also on the Trillium Line in Ottawa, in Canada!
And about Ikarus 280 Trolleybuses ?
My top 10 for best variety of (rail only) transit: Tokyo, Osaka, Philadelphia, Lisbon, Barcelona, Milan, Vienna, Budapest Prague & Stockholm. Not in any specific order but Tokyo is #1.
Diversity to me means how many actual modes are employed, not how many variations of the same mode. EG: Sydney has light rail, metrol rail, heavy rail (with double deck trains in the entire fleet) plus buses and harbour ferries. That's five modes. I don't see one city in this video with all that. I'm not saying there aren't any at all but such cities should feature here.
I have to say Tim, you missed Sydney. We have x1 double decker bus run (b-Line) that serves the city to Mona Vale in the northern beaches, We have the usual buses, x3 Light rail lines in the City (L1 - Inner West Light rail, L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford), we have Sydney Ferries, Sydney Metro (granted first section is between Tallawong to Chatswood but will be expanded to Bankstown - taking over the Bankstown line and opening in 2024), Commuter train via Sydney Trains, Intercity and Inter-urban regional trains via NSW TrainLink. And coming will be the parramatta light rail, extension to Sydney metro going to Bankstown as advised, to the new airport from St Mary’s in the western suburbs and Sydney Metro west with further expansions in the process
well there are some cities around the globe which are pretty much similar to that ... like also Oslo, Stockholm, Hamburg, ...
NJ Transit has both electric and diesel rail with an assortment of different locomotives, two different kinds of streetcar (DMU and EMU), a bus network and paratransit for those who have mobility issues.
when the monorail and the brt systems in cairo open, cairo will have quite the diverse network. metro (5 lines by 2030), LRT, monorails (2, potentially 3 lines) , BRT (on the ring road, 57 stations), plus buses and microbuses . Cairo used to have a tram but unfortunately the last line was removed in 2017
San Francisco also has a terminal for CalTrain's diesel trains and two commuter ferry services. It's really confusing but at least they all take the same fare card.
Milan, Italy, they have Metro, Tram, Trolleybus, Bus, Suburban rail, Light rail, Rail more than Berlin at least !
Amsterdam: high speed/international rail, long distance rail, commuter rail, light rail, metro (several types), tram (several types), buses, ferries.
so basically pretty similar to many other European cities lol
@@EnjoyFirefighting Ferries? 🙂 They leave at the back entrance of Central Station.
Medelin is so amazing ❗❗😍😍
One tram without cable above it, and 2 tracks... One with only one track under it... What a creatures....
Also, trams, streetcars, lightrails, regional rails, light rails, metros... there are some blurry lines between them, holly...
In San Francisco you missed the double-ended cable cars (California Street), commuter rail (Caltrain), and all the ferries (Golden Gate Transit, Bay Ferries)
these good like the trolebus
*Rotterdam*
- Commuter Rail: NS Sprinter
- Subway/Metro: RET Metro
- Tram/Light Rail: RET Trams
- Bus rapid transit: Zoetermeer-Rodenrijs busway, Vijfsluizen-Vlaardingen busway
- Driverless electric bus: ParkShuttle
- Bus, Electric Bus, Articulated Bus
*Osaka*
- Commuter Rail: JR, Nankai, Hankyu, Keihan, Kintetsu railways
- Subway/Metro: Osaka Subway
- Light Rail: Hakai Tramway
- Monorail: Osaka Monorail
- Automated Guideway Transit: Port Town line, Rokko Island line, Port Island Line
- Bus
Osaka: how can you forget Hanshin Railway; owner of the much more popular baseball team, the Tigers? Also, the Rokko Island & Port Island lines are in Kobe.
@@saulschlapik6818 Oops I forgot Hanshin Railway. And I'd consider Kobe part of the greater Osaka region given that it's part of the same urban area.
Nice list, and thank you for putting San Francisco at #1. Too bad you didn't get any of the historic trams from other countries (besides the Peter Witts, which are from Italy). San Francisco, and, I believe, London and Boston also have ferry service, and San Francisco also has commuter rail.
Actually, Hong Kong probably also belongs on the list, with bus, tram, light rail, funicular, green and red minibuses, commuter rail, ferries, cable airway, cable ferry, and (until the mid-90's) rope-drawn ferry.
16:23 those trams(KTM-19) also gone (they replaced by 71-931M "Vityaz-m" and 71-911EM «Lionet»)
И ещё ЭП-шки с Ласточками появились и заработали МЦК и МЦД.
Budapest ; I missed the rack railway
I missed Zürich Switzerland ; Tram/Commuter Trains/Bus/(mega) Trolleybus /Funiculars/Rack Railway/Ferry/Ship/overland tramways/mountain train
Basel; for their lines spreading across the borders to two neighboring countries
You omitted the river buses and cable car in London.
Prague, anyone? Trams, busses, subway, commuter rail (S-bahn), funicular, ferries...
Don’t forget the overground, tfl rail or cross rail and the cable car in London
And River Bus.
I live in seattle and wanted to let you know that you missed a few things here!! King County Water Taxi, The Ferry System and Bus Rapid Transit and car/van share
You included both BART and MUNI in SF (different systems, operators, fare cards) but didn't include PATCO in the Philly items. Might be worth including ferries in Boston, too.
Hey! Why did you skip HEV - light rail in Budapest?
I would give Hong Kong a mention - subway, regional rail, double decker trams, double deck and single deck buses, funicular up to the Peak, 800 m of urban escalators and the ferries.
You forgot the modern tram system in the Northwest suburbs.
@@saulschlapik6818 Oh yes - and even more reason to include Hong Kong!
I have only just started viewing the video. . . but I will jump in and say, right away. . . SAN FRANCISCO is my all time favorite city for TRANSIT in the world! Trolley's, cable cars, BART and more. No less than THREE TRACK GAUGES, being 3' 6" for the cable cars, 4'8 1/2" for the trolley system and trains to San Jose, and 5' 6" on BART.
You missed Barcelona!
Barcelona has a lot of transports, more than Madrid (The capital):
-Alsthom Metrópoli 9000 Subway
-CAF Subway
-Suburban trains (FGC)
-Suburban trains (Rodalies de Catalunya)
-High speed train (to the capital, Madrid)
-Half distance trains
-Regional trains
-CAF Urbos 3 Tramway
-Tiblibado Light Rail (closed 2017)
-Tiblibado Funicular
-Montjulic Funicular (closed 2010, re-open 2019)
-Gelida Funicular
-Vallvidrera Funicular
-Diesel Bus
-Diesel Articulate Bus
-Hibrid Bus
-Electric Bus
-Electric Articulate Bus
-Cable Car
-Electric Taxi
Seattle's light rail is known as Link, not "Line 1". Of course, in over ten years of operation, no one calls it "Link", it's always "the light rail". A brand that just doesn't seem to stick.
Great list but you overlooked Toronto and Paris.
BVG even operates a rowing boat for passanger service
Strictly speaking London's S7 & S8 stock isn't Tube stock as the Metropolitan and District Railway were built as cut and cover not in Tubes. It's just become a common nickname for the whole Underground.
You seem always to come back to the same cities in your videos over and over again.
Besides you have forgotten an important mode of transportation in many cities: By boat. - You would have found those for instance in both Berlin and London, and I bet in Budapest too.
For instance, try to have a look at Stockholm. There you'll find:
City tramcars
Suburban tramcars
A museum tram line.
Light rail
Subways
Standard gauge commuter trains
Narrow gauge commuter trains
Funicular (albeit mostly for tourists visiting the open air museum Skansen)
Regular buses
Fast transit buses
Inner city passenger ferries
Suburban passenger ferries
A very comprehensive network of archipelago passenger ship routes originating right in mid-city.
I believe that would beat quite a few of the cities you mentioned. Besides, having different BRANDS of buses, trams etc to me is a totally different concept from having different MODES of transportation.
For instance; The museum tram cars in Stockholm consist of several different types from around year 1900 forward, as well as a horse tram car and a trolley bus (however with an electric generator, since there presently are no trolley bus lines in Stockholm), and museum buses as well.
From what I've seen, Berlin's is the best.
#2 Philadelphia. PCC cars have not operated since the pandemic.
Boston has another Silver Line, running along Washington Avenue where the Orange Line el ran til the 1980s. The community was promised light rail, then trolleycoaches, but got low key BRT.
Moscow slips because it did away with its trolleycoaches. And what's the surface rail line underneath the monorail?
You should realy check the bucharest system , STB the overground society is the 4th largest system of europe and one of the most dense. It has 24 tram lines (one of them is a light metro line), 145 bus lines and 17 trolleybus lines , and a daily ridership of 2.4 million riders. The undeground system (metrorex) has 5 lines , with an entire system length of 76 .12 km , and has 3 types of rolling stock (astra trains the old ones , bombardier movias and caf trains).
And how about Mexico City, We have Metro (subway, street level and elevated, ALSTOM, CAF, Bombardier, CNCF) , Light rail, 3 kinds of Trolleybus, Bus Rapid Transit, double decker buses, Bus, Micro Bus, Urban Van, CableBus, Suburban Train, Interurban Train, Bikes system, and you can ride amost all of them with the same movility card
You also forgot urban metro-rail (the photo of the new train was of the MCC S-bahn-like system) and cablecar for Moscow.
Tim, you really have to to visit here and update your knowledge and content, your info on Moscow has become a little rusty :)
Missed NYC. It's served by multiple transit agencies and has many modes and power types for the trains. Chicago is another one you missed.
Norristown high speed line
(don’t worry about it)
bestie is that kiev rolling stock at 16:05
You forget İstanbul, Hongkong, Moscow, São Paulo, Mexico City.
Paris is a big one you missed!
Istanbul. All kind of Bosphorus ferries and boat lines missing.
Boston is the most diversed one.
why?
Nobody expected 4 to be American
In Budapest, you forgot the BHÉV system. (Light Rail)
I thought so. #6 had a cable car.
11:27 Its not T5C5K. T5C5
I like your videos but the info you provide about the type of vehicles are inconsistent. Also you forgot the cog-wheel railway, the Hév (like S-bahn) and the water taxis on the Danube in. Budapest…
Red Trolley is Ikarus 412T
São Paulo - SP -Brazil is missing.
:)
Exactly 👍
Budapest , Siemens
Kuala Lumpur
KTM Class 92
Innovia ART 200
Innovia Metro 300
Scomi Sutra
CRRC Zhuzhou "AMY"
Siemens Inspiro *Guiding Light*
Hyundai Rotem *Ducky*
BYD K9
Am I surprised that several American cities made the list? Not particularly. Your list is of the most diverse systems. Not the most complete.
Where is the London overground?
#10. Does a cable car count as transit?
How about Jakarta?
What about Vancouver British Columbia Canada, Los Angeles, Portland Oregon.
What about FerryBoat
Stocholm tramway 1877 and Göteborg 1879..
Ref;NYC,from an ex- Long Islander,you forgot Suffolk County,and all the Connecticut lines connecting(bad pun),plus the line to Port Jervis,and the NJT,light rail lines,also the Newark Subway! Hope,I didn't miss any myself,as I photographed a lot of that in the 80's,tons of material,and you get lost in the overload! Thanks for your attention ☺!
All NYC-area commuter rail is basically the same. (I live in Brooklyn.)
@@nelsonricardo3729 Not quite,because the ex- New Haven lines are,literally AC/DC,entering and leaving Grand Central,also the former PRR lines,in New Jersey,were originally DC third rail! Add the late lamented Brooklyn Rapid Transit,trolley lines,and mayhaps you forgot the trolley buses,which many people wish were still in existence! The TA,did a massacre on public transit in New York,plus the resulting pollution,so the hybrid buses,are really a stop gap solution! Witness Los Angeles,when they took out the Pacific Electric and Los Angeles Railway,it was greeted with hosanna from the oil companies,and bus builders,NOW- how many old PE lines have been created from the ground up? The Long Beach line was first,and if you take the old PE map and overlay over the current LA rail map,the coincidence should be striking! Robert Moses,and his cohorts did far too much damage to New York,and one effect was the VERY LONG DELAYED 2ND AVENUE SUBWAY! It only took close to a hundred years,talk about foot dragging,again WHY,and WHO BENEFITED,tell me??? One group for sure,the bond houses,as they had a nice steady income of 8%,as did the muni bond holders! Oh,and that was non- taxable,nice!! They,as an aside set the fares,on the subway and buses,monopoly control,and totally behind the scenes! New York politics- 101,short course!! Thanks for your attention and time!
@@roberthuron9160 I like your passion. Even though they're before my time, I, too, lament the demise of the trolley buses. And the streetcars.
Nelson,if you ever get a chance,the Branford museum(Shore Line,up near New Haven,has a couple of examples of Brooklyn streetcars,one notable is an original PCC,which was developed on the property! And if you want to ride one in revenue service,take the Mattapan- Ashmont shuttle,at the South end of the Red line,in Boston! The nice part is that you're riding over the New Haven right of way with all the architectural features of the original electrification,if you know what to spot! See the book,"When the Steam Railroads electrifed",and it give you a primer on where and when to look! Nikola Tesla,and George Westinghouse must look down on their baby,now a century plus old,with a great deal of pride,for its longevity and virtually continous service,they built to last back then!! As a side note,there is a locomotive up in Branford,now going on to over 150 years old,a real pioneer,but not to noticed in the literature! Check that out,on your adventures! Thank you also for your passion,it also shows,may you never grow up,and may everyday be a new learning experience 🙏👍😀😊✨😉🙏👍!
Nothing in Australia, in Melbourne we have got a Tele bus service where a public bus picks up and drops off at your home, biggest tram network in the world, Sydney has got all double decker suburban and inter urban train services, plus it ferries. You need to do your research better. This is one of the worse top 10.
Where is Vienna??
Be specific as these are only related to USA and Europe
In Budapest your should show the famous bending trolleybuses IKARUS 280 T still in use in 2017
u missed Hong Kong!
Where is Dubai or Singapore or Tokyo or Kuala Lumpur in the list?
You forgot Budapest's Line 3 subways - the 81-717.2K! Also I would never count funiculars as public transit, much like elevators.
But funiculars carry passengers, as well. In Lyon, France, we've two funiculars which are parts of the urban transit system ; they're very useful for people. And one in Paris, part of the system, although it's rather a tourist attraction.
@@andrefourtier100 Well again, so do elevators, but that doesn't mean they should be lumped into the same category as cars/buses/trains/etc.
Ez az!!
@@H5subway5707 in Lyon they very much should be. They are integral part of mass transit system, especially line to St Just.
@@arekgralak2070 By that logic, you should also count elevators & escalators at subway stations (that connect the subway platform to street level) as separate transit vehicles. But nobody does that (obviously), because the mode of transit is the subway, while the elevator/escalator is just an integral part of the station infrastructure. A funicular, much like an elevator/escalator, just moves back & forth along a usually very limited distance.
First
You win!
Mommy must be so proud!
