- The Dallas Streetcar is a 2.45-mile (3.94 km) modern streetcar line in Dallas, Texas. It is owned by the city of Dallas and operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which also operates Dallas's DART Light Rail system. Construction on the line began in May 2013, and it opened for public service on April 13, 2015.
The streetcar line operates between downtown Dallas and Oak Cliff by way of the Houston Street Viaduct. The streetcar line originally operated from Union Station to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, but an extension to the Bishop Arts District opened on August 29, 2016. ~Wikipedia

I don't think the streetcars are ugly. Attractive is a better word. Battery power is a good choice.
Thanks Tim😀😀💙
I'm a R142A and I approve this video, Ding dong **door shuts**
Stand clear of the comment ;) !
Great Video Tim, there is also a battery tramway in Newcastle and Canberra Australia
A train horn instead of a trolley bell!
It does occasionally ring a bell but it sounds more like a sound effect
Great video!!!!!!!!
Very nice video!
❤❤❤❤Dallas
Superb means of transportation…
Superb??? You clearly don’t live in Dallas 😂
Nice video.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
That is So Amazing It's Horn Sounds like Metro Link Train In St Louis unit Number # 2001,3021,4004,4015 & 4021
Does anyone ride this tram system?
4:50 to 4:55 - Where's this view from?
7:57 - No, not ugly. I like the bright color scheme. And no wraparound ads.
Reunion tower.
Nooob
That seems a remarkably quiet Dallas
This in North Oakcliff or Bishops Arts, a Gentrified neighborhood
Fantastic video 👍👍👍Kind regards 👍👍👍 Subbed ✋✋✋
I miss the old restrarants.
Συγχαρητήρια! Πρέπει όμως να μας απαντήσουν με ειλικρίνεια οι εταιρίες που τα χρησιμοποιούν εάν τα μπαταριοκίνητα οχήματα είναι αξιόπιστα [ειδικά σε δύσκολες συνθήκες (γεμάτα οχήματα, ανηφόρες κ.λπ.)]. Χθες ένα μπαταριοκίνητο λεωφορείο στη Γαλλία έπιασε φωτιά! Το ερώτημα είναι κρίσιμο διότι οι εταιρίες ολοένα και περισσότερο προσφέρουν προς πώληση μπαταριοκίνητα οχήματα. Επίσης εάν είναι αξιόπιστα θα επιτευχθεί μεγάλη οικονομία στις σιδηροδρομικές υποδομές, διότι δεν θα υπάρχει η ανάγκη κάλυψης των σιδηροδρομικών γραμμών στο 100% με ηλεκτροκίνηση αλλά μόνο τμήματα ενδιάμεσα για τη φόρτιση των μπαταριών.
They aren't ugly but they aren't frequent enough. A route that only has enough demand for 20 minute headway doesn't really justify the cost of installing rails and buying fancy vehicles imo.
Don't they connect a medical center, the Bishops Arts District, and Jefferson Blvd. with Union Station in downtown? Dallas might not have the largest medical center in the world like Houston, but it has its light rail connected up to five medical centers:
Southwestern
Baylor
Presbyterian
Methodist
Veterans Hospital.
@@WilliamJones-sf5pt Yay, so you can visit 5 hospitals a day if you want to. Why is this important? Medical staff need to get between their homes and their workplaces, while regular patients need to get between their homes and the hospital of service. Connecting to other hospitals is irrelevant if these hospitals aren't connected to most of the places medical staff/patients live with frequency to justify riding the light rail. Emergency patients are going to be transported by ambulance or helicopter. Your comment gives no insight as to the economic or social utility of the routes in question at all.
@@Schlabbeflicker And also the two major airports are connected up by the same line. Love Field and DFW airports both have a connection. Southwestern Medical District is connected by two rail lines one a commuter rail and the other Light Rail.
@@Schlabbeflicker Also, four of the six major business districts are connected by rail. These are:
1) Central Dallas
2) Richardson Corridor
3) Las Colinas
4) Central Fort Worth.
Addison will be connected by the Silver line going to DFW in 2024.
And the medical center in Fort Worth will soon be connected up to rail as well. The only major medical center in North Texas not hooked up to rail seems to be Medical City Dallas.
The only business district not connected up to rail is Legacy West / Frisco.
No smoking
The only time it seems to be running on battery is across bridges. The rest of the time the pantograph is up and it is taking electric from the wire above.
What type of tram are you? A Baltimore one
🌏👍👍👍🇲🇨🍀
They’re noisy a lot of squeaking inside, the battery is cool though we could do so much in Toronto.
Are these streetcars multi unit?
No
No drinks
I hear a wheel flat.
The early brookville cars have a bit of a tendency to slide when emergency braking and darts wheel truing machine isn't optimized for turning the smaller 26" wheels on the streetcars
Looks nice when its empty
wheres the people of this city...
protesting about flat earth and elections probably
All in the cars
This seems to have been filmed early on a weekend morning, The bishop arts / down town is pretty quiet on weekend mornings
Why it's called Batery powered ??
There are electric Wires above . Train touches them
Part of it is battery powered...
No food
they have a rather noisy rolling sound, inside and on the outside. not so good of an advertisement for trams in the us…
The 4 dallas cars are the prototype liberty cars and as prototypes they are lacking in several regards that were corrected on later production
@@traindude70 oh that’s great to hear
Not all it seems
2 people on board, typical
For european standards, that is the loudest tram interior ever. This wouldn't be acceptable in any european country that has trams...
