- The Cincinnati Bell Connector, previously known as the Cincinnati Streetcar, is a streetcar system in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The system opened to passengers on September 9, 2016. The streetcar operates on a 3.6-mile (5.8 km) loop from The Banks, Great American Ball Park, and Smale Riverfront Park through Downtown Cincinnati and north to Findlay Market in the northern edge of the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Future extensions have been proposed to the Uptown area, home to the University of Cincinnati, the regional hospitals, and the Cincinnati Zoo; and to Northern Kentucky. ~Wikipedia

Thank you for your support. Comment below so all of us can have a productive and insightful conversation about transportation!
In my opinion the streetcar system should be extended to also serve the UC West and Medical campuses; that way, it will see much more utilization and increased revenue.
I’ll be riding this when I visit next Wednesday. Taking it from GABP to Findlay Market and then walking to the old Crosley Field location
Bothers me we abandoned a subway and a regional light rail plan for a small tram though.
I agree totally!!
cincinnati street car do well as a downtown loop. However, what Cincinnati really need is a grade-separate light rail that go through downtown from suburb to suburb. Then the congestion and parking scarity can be reduced
yup, unfortunately, the most systems in the US are designed this way mostly downtown loops if they can extend tram lines to a suburban area that would make a difference.
Exactly! This is junk. Look at Charlotte's Light Rail and you will see what a good and useful setup Light Rail can be.
That didn't happen because of intense hostility to the city of Cincinnati by suburbanites.
You guys should learn from Toronto. We have a few streetcar lines that are right of way or grade separated with the rest in mixed traffic.
Cincinnati has a East coast look
It does give me brooklyn/philly vibes but what's funny is that buffalo& Rochester gives me Midwest vibes
Nice video! You have some cool shots! I love where you can see the bogies clearly at 1:15. The shot from the tall building at 7:10 is very nice, and I love seeing the Tesla Model 3 with the streetcar at 8:53. I kind of doubt the ridership is very high considering this is a relatively small loop system downtown. Maybe I'm wrong about this.
I was there a couple months ago, and there was no shortage to be seen
Nice video!! Cincinnati made a smart choice building a streetcar/tram system.
This system was very nice when I went there, a million times better than Detroit's QLINE.
Queen City is also my favorite city to go too. Did you film any buses when you went down there???? Cleveland RTA have awesome buses and trains.
That's amazing! I would like to take a ride on that modern streetcar system someday!
DC has a good big subway but. The tram..sucks..I like this one in the Queen City.
Loved seeing them.... reminds me of the San Francisco Bay area trolleys
its very cool that USA start to develop the tramsystem like is in Europe
While they aren’t very big in size and don’t serve much of the city it’s a good start
0:35 Sweet little honk!
5:20 favorite announcement
Why does the city seem so quiet?
Nice video!!!!!!!!!
Nice vidéo !
America needs to learn from Germany ;)
Learn what????
@@waltkeast9777 To build proper streetcars. You do the same mistakes that Oslo did, but in 2016!!! Building trams in the streets with car traffic makes the tram no better alternative to a bus. Just look at the tram street solutions from Santa Cruz de Tenerife etc! distrita.com/tramway-solutions-from-tranvia-de-tenerife/
@@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV: 95% of cities here in America that have trains and/or trolleys have "train and trolley lanes only". Cincinnati is probably one out of thousands that do not. Why? Because Cincinnati is a small city. Cincinnati does not have the space like other large cities in United States to have "train only lanes" for their trains. Why their rails are apart of the road.
@@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV I went to bremen and they had the tram in the street and it stopped in some red lights
And Toronto
Milwaukee is getting a tram 😁
Thanks! Not heavily used, it seems.
The main reason it's not heavily used is because the streetcar runs almost the exact same route as all of the Metro buses. Also, the fact that it stays in downtown Cincinnati is another huge failure. The city has the funds to expand, but they won't because they only want the streetcar to serve gentrified areas. A slap in the face to all those who foot the bill for it to run.
It looks like a smaller version of the Urbos LRV in Houston.
What distinctive cars they have. It just makes me all the madder that capitol city Columbus doesn't have JACK... S**T (except for gas guzzling buses).
Are these Trams CAF models?
Yes, CAF Urbos 3 100 series.
@@DreamscapeSYN they seem like really solid models.
Good video!!
wow this is nice
I was this city 2010 October to December I worked kenwood mall
Another dead city!!!!
Huh has the exact same horn as the luas trams in Ireland
Spent millions of dollars just for nobody to use it smh🤦🏽♂️
This is brain carnage
0:41 only in Ohio 💀
Doors should not open when there is no one to enter or exit the train. Waste of energy and wears out motors prematurely.
joe stewart It doesn’t. If you look it only opens if someone pushes stop request or wants to get on (like a bus)
No. Look at 3:50. Doors open, then close and nobody there.
@Adam Bray No, not through the doors in the foreground, only the doors in the background. The doors in the foreground didn't need to open/close.
@@joestewart8914 When a tram stops to let people on and off, all doors open on the appropriate side. It happens everywhere.
