- What a shame that you can't film this since its such a fantastic and beautiful system!!
Baku Metro (Azerbaijani: Bakı metropoliteni) is a rapid transit system serving Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. First opened on 6 November 1967 when Azerbaijan was part of the Soviet Union, it has features typical of ex-Soviet systems, including very deep central stations and exquisite decorations that blend traditional Azerbaijani national motifs with Soviet ideology. At present the system has 40.7 kilometres (25.3 mi) of bi-directional tracks, made up of three lines served by 27 stations. The metro is the only one constructed in Azerbaijan, and was the fifth built in the Soviet Union. In 2015, it carried 222.0 million, passengers, an average daily ridership of approximately 608,200. In 2019, it carried 229.7 million, an average daily ridership of 629,315 ~Wikipedia

Bu video İrəvan, Tbilisi və Bakı metrosunun müqayisəsidir - hansı daha yaxşıdır? Şərhlərinizi həmin videoya yazın!
Azerbaijan and Armenia. Enemies towards each other yet both of their metros in their capital cities forbid you from filming.
This is a prime example of Censorship since you're not allowed to film or take photos
Wow. Great looking system. Beautiful stations. 💚👍
Just spent a week in Baku and as a Swede, it came as a shock when I wanted to pull out my camera and saw the no photos signs.
This is a system Azerbaijan should be proud of being shown off! A small country yet it has a metro system that puts most in the US to shame. Exception? Washington DC Metrorail but that's only because Baku's metro still has old Soviet subway cars.
Love the livery. And those odd single-seats against pillars in some stations!
It's a terrific looking system, beautiful and clean. Thank you, Timosha21, for braving official hostility to bring us these images!
as a azerbaijani. thanks for the video. because im also in baku metro on anyways. and yes baku metro is a beautifuly metro.
Wow, those are actually really pretty trains. Nice and modern, and I like the color scheme.
All the trains you see after 3:30 are refurbished Soviet era trains from the 1980s, so not exactly modern
@@osasunaitor Not exactly, the oldest remaining cars in passenger service were made in 1989 which the author of the video rode between 3:53-4:32 . The rest of the old generation cars were mostly purchased in 2002-2011.
nice video, greetings from automotive CZcamsrs, I'm from Indonesia
Why is it forbidden to make photos?
It is an old russian dictatoric habit. It was forbidden in all the communist block to make photos/videos of metro, airports and basically anything that could be of military significance.
@@c4standard Typical censorship lasts even after communist times.
@@c4standardThanks!
It's probably forbidden to take any photos or videos mainly because of what happened in '95 because in that year a terrorist attack was made by some armenian guys right in one of those stations in Baku
The Tel Aviv Light Rail doesn't allow photography using cameras. Photography using mobile phones is allowed plus NTA encourages passengers to take pictures and even post some pictures taken on their social media pages. Quite ironic that on one side you can't take pictures but on the other side you're encouraged by the operator to do so.
In Italy in Genoa and Brescia security guards don't allow you to take photos or videos if they are on the platforms. I don't know why. But in Milan, Turin, Rome, Naples and Catania you can take photos or videos.
they should really lift that ban
everyone should know photography is NOT terrorism
The Delhi Metro doesn't permit you to film. I don't know why. But it's really stupid that you have to pay a hefty price to film in metros per a certain timing unit.
I'm on a mission so that everyone can film in every metro system in the world, because these dumb rules are censorship.
The Bucharest metro also doesn't allow you to take photos or videos because it's a strategic objective. This means that in case of a war (for example), the metro network acts as a shelter.
@@AndreiH_STB4008 How do you film there then, I think it's ridiculous because there's no point banning filming even if it's a strategic objective.
@@TheAgedGamer Although taking pictures and/or filming in the Bucharest Metro is forbidden, I'm still able to take pictures, because it's a public space, beautiful stations and trains. Really, there's absolutely no point banning filming/taking pictures. I don't care of what they're talking security or Metrorex staff.
Its really dumb that certain metro systems don't allow filming. In Delhi, its an inconvenience to transit enthusiasts who only film trains and stations and members of the public see it as nuisance to people. Even for military reasons, metros should be filmed because metro rail infrastructure is common sense. The only thing metro systems have to worry about is if any of their construction plans don't get into the wrong hands.
Per comments about you can't take photos or videos in subways or metros, PATH and NJ Transit Hudson Bergen light rail employees give picture takers a hard time. Maybe tell em their trains aren't as nice as other countries that also bar photography.
I heard PATH get Aggressive with camera's as well.
The stations look very similar to the ones l saw in Sofia last year!
Well I'm glad pivothead glasses exist.
In many other Systems its also forbidden to take photos and film there but nobody really cares about it.
Old trains in Baku were gone 2021-22 (scrapped)
In Sao Paulo in 1999 I was told to stop taking pictures because I could get robbed. But only on suburban lines was this an issue. Boston used to be famous from extreme crabbiness by employees. I think that problem has dissapated by now. PATH is still a bunch a bastids though.
Three Fair they should lift the ban it doesn't make sense.
Bakü buses
🤣🤣why hide? my channel and metro rec camera no hide ))))
All the passengers looked so cheerful and happy! On the posters, anyway.
