![[4K] Kharkiv tram - April 2021](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eowAgtKDGHE/mqdefault.jpg)
I live near the bridge in the beginning of video, and i still remember my surprised reaction when i for the first time had a ride on austrian tram, i never thought trams cold move so swiftly and without any noise
Instablaster.
Old Tram bad tracks but a electronic ticket scanner
I never seen these in switzerland
I wouldn’t be surprised if the tram derails alot
It does
@@anfsabc_busotto +
it isnt safe to stay there
Oh boy this happens DAILY. Here in Kharkiv we have a local meme called "tram drift". You can find it here on youtube i believe. Yet, the local transport minister tells on the media that tram drift is a myth!
very interesting old trams there!
in Elbląg Poland, most of the tram fleet are trams from the early 70s
Only the Czech trams (T3s and T6A5s)
Trams in berlin are very good and fast
They give the word "expansion joint" a whole new meaning! It's pretty obvious that the edges of the rails get a lot of wear, even looks like some bits have sheared off. It's gotta be really bad for the wheels too, it's like they want it to wear and explore the boundries of what's possible without maintaince. In the netherlands the ProRail organisation (a government branch who owns and maintains the infrastructure) has real problem with leafs getting on the rails in the authum causing the wheels to wear but that looks like a peanuts problem compared to this😅. It's amazing that it still runs, and doesn't fall apart completely, how often would these trams de-rail? They've definitly got a very loose idea of safety and maintaince.......
I am compiling a video of trams in Europe. I have not had a chance to film this system and was wondering if I could use 30seconds of your footage? I would be more than happy to list your channel as credits under the description once I put out the video. :)
That will be fine
6:40 look at the door it don’t close properly OMg 😮
yea, this is normal in slavic countries lmao, in poland that happens often in the Kontal 105na trams
Mr. Wyrzykowski oh.... that kinda bad
@@jsonytvs8760 as i said, normal in slavic countries 😂
@@mr.wyrzykowski7522 but in Romania :)) its same
@@mr.wyrzykowski7522 Something like "slavic countries" does not exist and who use kontal105 as daily stock?
Our drift cars! Haha
5:01 the quicker they go, the quicker they get to take a break.:D
"Alright, first call I'm making as the new guy in charge, can someone tell us what's our maintance budget?"
"I have $2.27 change from the vending machine."
THAT LOOKS SO RUN DOWN! OMG. Got to go and see for myself:)
I think it must have been from here I saw a video of a tram that had caught fire. Luckily everyone got off safely, but then the tram burned fiercely. After a while, the fire brigade came- their clothes looked ancient and probably not fire resistant, and their helmets just a bit newer, and no breathing apparatus. They did quite well considering their primitive equipment, but of course the tram was a wreck. A pity, as many Communist era public transport appear to be built like tanks and go on forever.
How about making a stretch of this system a Heritage tramway? The older trams look historic enough.
at least the trams in Blackpool are much better looked after.
As long as the other rail doesn't have a gap in it at the same place the tram has a pretty good chance of getting over those gaps without derailing as its wheels will be held in line by the flange groove in the other rail.
It wouldn't do the ride any good.
Cool! I have been in Charkiv-Ordschonikidse in 1991 and it hasn't changed at all tramwise...
Kharkov has two unique words for trams. Derailments are called "трамвайный дрифт" ("tram drift") and the tram itself is called "дрифткар" ("drift car").
PS. Open Google, type "drift Kiev" (or Lviv, Odessa etc.) and click Images. Then do the same with "drift Kharkiv" :D...
Just found this video.

This is amazingly bad that the trams are in this state.
@@benolifts czcams.com/video/F0MpFfo7zZM/video.html
Here is the same day, same tram, same intersection however this is footage from a security cam
@@benolifts m.czcams.com/video/zU30Qok-a8s/video.html from the other cam
I heard they got bombed recently
Can make a video of Kharkiv drinking water sources and Kharkiv water treatment plants? Very curious!
A stejně takhle dopadnou naše T6A5
they're probably preparing for the network to be eventually closed or they want people to stop using the service so that they have a reason to close the network.
I've sometimes wondered if some large bus companies have deliberately ran certain commercial services very badly so as to put people off using them, so as they then have an excuse to withdraw the service.
Crazy Leyland 510 they do, same with uk rail
@@crazyleyland5106 I don't see why a commerical bus company would do that because it would hurt overall ridership unless they were owned by a commerical auto maker but I could completely understand why the government would do it because its exactly what British Rail did to close Primrose Hill Station in North London.
@@crazyleyland5106 This happened in the US at the times of the GM and Ford rise
Yes, this is a thing in many post-soviet countries. LOTS of soviet cities had developed tram and trolleybus networks. Nowadays authorities of many cities deliberately neglect electric transport in favour of notorious marshrutkas and shitty buses. To name the few, Astrakhan, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Ryzan, Kramatorsk, Kremechuh -- people there can't use trams anymore.
On London Underground they make announcements: "Mind, the gap!"
the weird modern tram sure looks out of place
That's crazy
Well... at least its interesting to watch!)
That “weird looking tram” looked quite new, interesting that they spent money on that instead of the tracks
You think those tracks are bad? You should come "across the pond" (USA) and see some of _our_ tracks. Yeah, the majority of them are safe; however, there's one particular section of track in the midwest (I forget where exactly) where the tracks are so bad, the engineer has to creep along at like 5 MPH going down what appears to be an unpaved country lane with severely bent metal bars jutting out of it. 😂
At least they still work
Interesting video :D thanks for it
I like the Slavic mentality:
-Sir, our trams still in use since the death of Stalin are you sure they are still able to be in service ?
-*I D'ONT GIVE A SH*T*
This is not a consequence of slavic mentality, it is a consequence of ukrainian poverty. Look at slavic Prague, Bratislava, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Minsk, Moscow etc. - totally another situation. Specifically in Kharkov the city mayor have the wrong priorities: he prefers to rebuild the fucking parks for billions of hryvnias to impress tourists from another poor ukrainian cities, and then he don’t find enough money for transport for own townsmen. Several individual pieces of tracks have been repaired over the past 10 years, but it is only 1/5 of the total length of the totally destroyed network /google translate
And this trams are ''only'' 30-40 years old, not 66 ))
@@Hundertvasser dude it's not about poverty, it's about braindead management and corruption. There IS money, trust me, it is just managed by people who are interested in personal gain, not doing their job.
8:47 the newer built trams
Sadly a lot of this has probably been destroyed by the war :(
5:54 Is that a railroad crossing nearby?
How does this still run? Crossed fingers?
What would it cost to replace a mile of this type of trackage? Seems like it would be cheaper than resurfacing the same length of 2-lane roadway.
Its a shame these awesome trams dont get good service
Yeah, im pretty certain in CZ it wouldn't happen
Is It Just Me And My Dodgy Eyesight Or Is That Tram Wobbling At 3:42?
nope, thats the tram..
The largest gap in our tracks was 23 cm wide! And it remained more than two months...
Do you have any pictures or videos
@@benolifts photos.app.goo.gl/ha3xU3XB8bgXZT3y9
@@watchmakerful HOLY FUCK!
How could the tram get across that!
@@benolifts a running start I imagine
@@benolifts depends on how big the wheel is and how fast it's going probably
You're really over-thinking ex-soviet engineering here. If it works, it works, there is no problem until the tram falls off the tracks.
Kharkiv tram game
- stand next to a junction (idk what the best locations are, some are just more likely to work)
- have ur phone with bluetooth speaker ready
- wait till a tram does multi-track drifting
- blast DEJA VU as it does that
- Ultimately get cut off by a "crazy bus" (also known as the marshrutka)
Interesting
so many steel plants in ukraine and they are unable to change rail tracks... i don´t get it.
The Tracks are so horrible.
4:08 Hey, we're getting used to gaps now!
BTW Beno next time you come again in Athens, Greece check our trams too!
I went on the entire tram route in Athens. Video is on my channel.
Oh indeed. I was expecting to have "tram" in its title and I missed it. Sorry!
Some off them. Trams do get on fire due to electrical issues
Not to g’et you angry but in London bigger gab is at the tram Tracks of London
Kiev tram is not in better condition...
My dad is from Kharkiv, so we are going to this city sometimes. And i think those trams are ok. But sometimes those trams was shaking.
just use the subway, it's more efficient! although it has old Wagonmash metros, but some metros are getting modernised
The metro will be ruined if they modernize it. The Metrovagonmash are absolute classics. I went on a modernized one and it was utter rubbish.
Nice to see someone, who adores Metrovagonmash carriages too.
99% of those trams are from 3rd biggest city in Czechia Ostrava. Thats where i live and i cant believe what they do to them.... poor trams...
How old is the infrastructure off the tram network
You were fucking brave to go on it 😂😂😂 30? looked like he was going 50 lmao!
I would be scared to go on the trams
I wouldn't . In czechia this wouldn't even happen
Do you know what’s preventing them from fixing it or buying new trams?
They have no money
They have modernized a few Tatra T3 with a brand new look (and with a semi low-floor section)
They also bought some second hand Tatra T6A5 from Prague
They did order 10 brand new KTM-10KT trams in 2007, 9 of which are from what I can find online currently in operating state.
@@jonarthritiskwanhc Tatra T6A5.
Haha, I lived there!
Probably the only users are old babushkas (nans).

This would NOT be acceptable in the US
This wouldn't be acceptable also in most european countries especially the better ones and in many asian countries
Most of US doesn’t even have trams, only in big cities
Ukraine safety standards are poor
@@forza223bowe5 Ukraine's living standarts are poor )
Their tram system needs some serious investment
we had 3 derailment each day 2 years ago. Now it is better. But you see
7:11 lol it says "I love taxi" on the side of the tram hahah sure
This is add of our taxi.
poor Tatra T3s
Why don't they fix it? This is terrible and dangerous.
hey austin this is guys
A brit?
YEHA! The end phase of the Soviet-Union still exists ... in the Kharkiv / Kharkov (Ukraine) Tram System ... maybe they replaced rusted trough Soviet KTM5 with used Chechoslovakian Tatra-T3SU ... these tracks are far worse than in Socialist East-Germany 1990 ... some USA fright tracks are as bad as these tracks in Ukraine
1:50 - 0_0 - shit.
2:40 0o0_0o0 - holy shit!
It's not funny. It's crime.
OMFG I FUCKING CANNOT BELIEVE THESE HAVEN'T BEEN MODERNIZED
There's derailments every year with these
Every week at least.
Hi
Ukraine had these problems for years I’ve seen videos from 2017 with bad shaped tracks and so on Ukraine doesn’t have a lot of money so that’s why they keep driving old teams on very bad tracks
mind the gap
do you live in Ukraine
No. I live in England
owo
kharkiv fix your trams
They're broke af, they don't have money to repair them lol
It's interesting. I have noticed that the tracks are in poor condition. But I didn't pay attention to the details.
I also know the stop in the second sequence, and I have it on video.
And please speak properly. It hurts in the ears.
What do you mean by "speak properly"? And why does it matter?
