I think that linie 1 - 14 are with yellow/red trains normally, would like to see a full trip in the future. When linie 10 was a seperate linie with no tram wagons I was sitting in the drivers cab and we talking about the linie, at that time no stop inside French, it was in the 70th. Btw I'm talking German language.
Thank you so much! Indeed! Most people say that when seeing Basel for the first time vs being used to Zurich! I have a friend that even calls it broad Basel for that very reason :)
Thank you Hugo for another extremely interesting and very informative video. I am looking forward to more 'virtual' rides around Basel! Regarding 'Doppelhaltstelle' they were acceptable when trams were only (at most) about thirty metres long. But with many trams now forty-five metres or more in length they are no longer acceptable. At a Doppelhaltstelle passengers suddenly have to rush perhaps forty metres to avoid missing their tram!.
They don't have to rush at all. You can see which tram arrives next. If you're even a bit attentive you can see where you're tram will stop early enough. And if you're really unsure yu can wait in the middle. Since the "Doppelhaltestellen" are gone, tram congestion has worsened and travel times have increased.
@@ilregulatorSorry, but I must disagree. You have to think of people with disabilities, the elderly who cannot move as fast as they used to, parents with children in buggies, people with luggage, etc. And the fact remains that in Europe. trams are generally often nearly twice as long as they used to be! Also, to get people out of their cars public transport must be easy to use. Doppelhaltestellen are very confusing for people who do not use trams on a very regular basis, or who come from a city which does not use them.
@@rogersexton7857 I use the Basel trams a lot with my disabled son and I do find the double stops stressful - especially as many of them are in busy areas (Barfusserplatz for example) and platforms are full so movement up and down is hard. I was pleased when Bankverein changed to single stop. I cannot say I have noticed a huge difference in tram delays but I will say I am not usually around in Basel
You're welcome as always Roger! Hopefully many more videos to come from Basel! Well somehow Zurich seems to have managed to make Doppelhaltestelle work, as like at Milchbuck, especially in the evenings, trams wait on each other to let people connect by using the the double platforms! But yeah, it's a big rush always at Bankverein
Too bad that it's the provisional line while there are construction works in Gellert. I hope to see more from Basel and also the complete Line 14 once it's reopened
Ich vermute, aber natürlich gehen auch die Trams der BVB und BLT beide nach/durch Frankreich und ich frage mich ob sie dort auch die gleichen Signale haben... Basel ist sicherlich einen ganz komplizierten Ort gewesen und diese Sachen herauszuplanen
Ich gehe davon aus, dass es die "deutschen" Signale in Basel schon gegeben hat, bevor die Strecken nach Weil oder Frankreich existiert haben. Übrigens hat es zwischen 1919 und 1967 schon einmal eine Strecke nach Deutschland gegeben, nach Lörrach, und irgendwann in dieser Zeit sind die modernen Ampeln und Signale ja erst erfunden worden. Vielleicht ist die Nähe zu Deutschland doch ein Grund.

I used to work for a big pharma in Basel beginning with an "N".. Took this route many times.. Thank you!!!
Hahaha! I think I can guess with company ;) I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Great video with a lot of interesting facts!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the additional info, with more video in Basel, you'll be able to learn more about the city^^

Linien 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 14, 15, 16 sind alle grüne Wagen von der BVB... die 10, 11 & 17 sind mit den Gelb-/roten Fahrzeugen der BLT :)
@@hugobazin8052 Danke
Another great video! Quite a difference in street width in Basel compared to most of Zurich.

I imagine that I will film the 14 again once it has re-opened and more from Basel would nice too, I agree!
A pleasant way to spend half an hour but, it's not Zurich. Thank you Hugo🙄🤘🤙👍🦘
I'm glad you still liked it... more will be coming in the future from other cities as pretty much all of Zurich has been filmed now✨️
Have a great weekend 💝🌹🎂🎉
Thanks a lot! I hope you had a great one too and are having a fab week so far!!^^
Cool ❤️👍🚈
It would be great to see the lines to Saint Louis and Weil am Rhein :)
I'd love to film those! I'll see what I can do!^^
Nice..mother from Basel.
Used to get bus from Claraplatz to aunties house.
Wonderful!! The buses in Basel are amazing too!
Interessanterweise sehen die Straßenbahnsignale in Basel anders aus als in Zürich, eher so wie in Deutschland.
Tatsächlich! Und zum Glück für die Linie 8, die bis nach Weil am Rhein in Deutschland über die Grenze führt, um ein bisschen Kohärenz zu behalten
Ja, das hätte sonst eine aufwendige Umschulung erfordert! ;-)
