Why is Public Transport so Important
Vložit

- Public transportation is an integral part of a lot of cities worldwide. Even if you personally don't want to, or can't use it, the existence of the option to take transit brings numerous benefits.

You're right, how could've I missed that💀💀💀💀💀
Here in saudi, those who cant afford buying new cars buys 5-15 year old cars instead
@@TheTramlyso for saudi arabia, is trains the only alternative in a hot country desert?
I mean, air conditioned trains exist, and I don't think that the desert poses any existential risk for train travel..
Probably the most important reason for me personally was independence. I have been taking the bus (and sometimes train) normally since I was around 11. Not only was this beneficial for me, but also to my parents who didn't need to drive me anywhere
I'm in the same boat, it's definitely a underrated benefit of transit!
Exactly, I see how kids from richer families are totaly lost when they are already in that age when they have to get somewhere, but they can't have a car yet, they are completely lost without parents and their cars. I was riding thru whole Prague to school when I was like 12, but even before, it was completely normal to visit friends or grandparents or something alone without your parents. But time i spretty different than 20, 25 years ago, now, you would be probably also afraid to let your kids ride somewhere alone, it's not that safe outside anymore.
@@PidalinI'm 16 and I have been riding to my village on bus with my younger sister on my own for like 4 years before, and that's I'm talking about "most of the time", even before that we sometimes did that I think
But I'm from another country so idk if in yours it's still happening, or if it does in most places, as I have never been in another country
@@fanOfMinecraft-UAs_channel I am Czech, originally from Prague, I literally grew up in trams, buses, trains and metro and it's really ridiculous when I go somewhere with some friends who don't kno whow to open door in a train, these people exist. 😀

Looking at roads and bus routes between a possible job and home was a mix of emotions. The nice part is that the bus has two stops about a mile from the job, so I am thinking about biking that. The problem is that the road between the bus stop and the job barely has a shoulder in a 45 MPH zone. No sidewalk. Not fun in a place that is cloudy and rains half of the year.
Reducing the amount of inebriated drivers is a great benefit of public transit. It is one point that does not get mentioned enough when talking about public transit.
Exactly, less drivers on the road benefit everyone, even other drivers
I believe that bigger companies should really put some efford or even money to convince city or local government or train/bus company, to make a stop close to their place. For example I work in company with about 120 people, it's pretty big company for such village and train is going literally next to our company, but no stop, you have to walk like 10 minutes to nearest stop, that's pretty annoying. I am sure that it could be solved if our owner and city cared, ther is also pretty big supermarket near, so it would be good even for them, but they also don't care becuase they have nice new parking and it's hard to even get there by walk because you have to go thru parking, as it is standard in these days unfortunately. There are also other companies around, it's totaly stupid that nobody cares. I asked a train company and they say that city or region has to order new stops, they won't do it by themselves just because there is a company which needs transit. I think this is also stupid, they should have that power to make a stop if they think it's needed. But maybe problem would be that our stop would be in curve, I am not sure if it's possible to have a stop here, but it's just a local track with very low speed.
First of all, the transport in Prague is impeccable, you can't help to admire it!
P.S. I see in your video many dear places in Prague, even the tram no. 20 that I use so much when I get there! Zajimave a krasne videjko, se mi moc libilo!
Díky, moc si toho vážím!
I don't know why I want to mention this, but
The tram in thumbnail is czech tatraT(number), for example tatraT4, it's my favourite tram which once went around my city also seen in 3:47 (I don't think that one is tatra T4 though, because T4 only has a small window for number on front, without place for route name)
It's a Tatra T3, one of the most produced tram models in the world!
many of them (I believe around 10000) were exported to the Soviet Union, that's why lots of post-soviet states still use them, because they proved to be EXTREMELY reliable and easy to maintain
@@TheTramly The thumbnail or the one from video clip?
Because I saw that the one in video clip has a wide route name on the front, while the thumbnail one has a small number placement on the front
My city which was a part of Soviet Union (Lviv) didn't update to tatraT3 and then skipped it straight to T4 (before that it used German trams, I think Gotha)
TatraT4 became my favourite retro tram because that's the only one I ever saw in person, they're used as maintanence trams. I think my favourite is 005, made into a sand transporter thing for winter, it used to stand near to old depot which I rode by when I went to my village by 2 buses (then the bus was taken down by the city, and now I ride tram + bus, but the depot was either sold or rented to some company which now slowly rentovates it into an old vehicle museum ( they might have trams in future, but they don't yet), and 005 is still owned by tram company, so they taken it out of there
@@TheTramlyI just looked at your another video, and it seems that tatraT3 does have a wide route name on the front. Strange that T4 has only number instead
Oh how lucky am I to live 700 meters from a train station with 1/2 hourly service to Prague... on weekends too... (I believe in S2/22 supermacy!)
And we also get a hourly bus... (2 hourly on weekends)
And since I am not old enough to drive, transport is crucial for my ability to go anywhere... If I lived in a car centric place, I wouldn't have seen nearly as much of the country as I do here, without needing someone to drive me around, for example when we have school holidays but parents are at work, I can travel to the other side of the republic all by myself for pretty cheap...
Yeah, it's definitely a great benefit of transit!
I myself am old enough to drive, and have my driver's license (shit cost me 21000 CZK 💀💀💀), but I still prefer to take transit 99/100 times, because of the low stress, and good affordability compared to car ownership
I agree with a lot of what you said in the video except the socializing part mainly. I live near DC and people are not just socializing in public transit unless it is with people they came on with. Most people are on their phones with headphones in. It’s basically just used to get you from point A to point B.
Perhaps I explained it a little poorly..
I meant like this: when people take transit, they physically see other people going about their days, they interact with them in a human-sized environment, and while it doesn't happen usually, there is space for socializing on transit
I think that even when people don't actually talk to each other on transit, just interacting with them, seeing them in a human sized environment brings positive benefits
Adding to the comment by @TheTramly , you don't need to be talking every single day with other people on transit. Doing that occasionally is sufficient. Think, if there is some significant event like a sports game, solar eclipse, music concert, or anything and you see someone else reading or talking about it with others, you could join the conversation easily. Additionally, you have some chance of running into people you know from work or friends when on transit which gives you a chance to talk in an irregular setting about day-to-day life, instead of meeting in an appointment.
also it helps with like, getting out of your own head about things. like. taking the bus reminds you that people are just people living their lives.
Well, if they really increase price of a year pass to double in Prague, then it's not gonna be that worthy anymore. Still not literally expensive, but for me as a someone who don't live in Prague anymore, I would think twice about buying it. Now I pay it even when I visit Prague few times in month becuase it's that cheap, so they have money from people like me without really using it every day, that will end when they increase price that much.
Another thing which bothers me in last years is how it's everything getting more complicated, all those different tickets, zones, different regional tickets and zoning systems on region borders which are merged together, I don't understand how conductors can understand it all.
I would say it's getting worse here, if you don't live in Prague or few other big cities, you have no possiblity to get home when you are at some concert or in pub, or you have to walk like 5 km from other city.
So, public transportation is really important for me, but if I don't return to Prague soon, I will probably have to buy a car anyway, I can't really resist to it anymore, you just can't get anywhere, you want to visit some historical event at castle? The last train back is in 19:30 or something, it's completely useless if you don't live in Prague.
They always say that there is not enough people to pay such connections, in some places and times, it's probably true, but in many places, I really don't agree because that the last train is very often crowded and the first train (like in 3AM) is also crowded, because a lot of people just miss the last one and then have to wait several hours, and I really think that they should definitly more be checking what concerts or festivals and other events are happening and add more buses/trains at least when something big is happening, like let's say Metallica concert, it can take even several hours to get from festival area to a train station because of all those crowds, so when the last train which is good for you is in like 22:00, you are screwed.
And yes, after 10 years in village, I really miss going to work by public transportation and speak sometimes with some random people, I feel very lonely here, you don't talk with anyone here, everyone just jumpes to car after work ended and vrrrm, they are all gone, nobody goes anywhere, you see people only in cars or behind their fences and walls and in those modern suburb areas, I feel like someone will start shooting to me from a window or something, it's clear that I don't belong there when I have to walk thru such place. But even if it was like 100 or 200m from that curve, it would be a massive improvement, but nobody cares.
We really need something like light trains or trams instead of these local train lines, those trains are not that bussy, tram would be better and it can stop more easily, that could solve thise problem. In few cities, they have a tram going from one city to other city thru several villages with a lot of stops everywhere you need, that's exactly what we need here.
Yeah, the light trains/trams would definitely be good for the smaller towns and villages which don't see enough demand for traditional heavy rail
These types of transit vehicles are called interurbans! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interurban?wprov=sfla1
Like you said, some cities have them, but they used to be really widespread, especially in the US, I don't know why they decided to rip them up so much.. (although, it's probably the same reason as why transit in the US and other regions fell off, car centric urban planning, lobbying by big oil, gas, and car, etc..)
Its really weird how even though public transit benefits from giving more social interaction options there are some people who literally hates social interactions to death or have social anciety so proberbly thats why some would choose cars i see the majority of germans literally like that even though we do have a mid well worked transit but people from the suburbs or from the rurals are the one who hates trains and hates to build then on front of they doors
Great video, since you are from Prag, i supose you can speak czech. Would you consider doing the same videos in czech? I know it will be a lot of work for litle reward, but i think this kind of kontent Is needed in Czechia.
I on the other hand think it is beneficial to have more English-speaking youtubers that do not come from Anglosaxon countries (UK,US,CAN,AUS,NZ). Somehow Anglosaxon countries tend to produce the worst kind of urbanism, but since the international language nowadays is also English, people from around the world need to start sharing more local practices which are usually better than the Anglosaxon ones. Especially reports from "Old Europe" and Latin America can contribute to some better urbanism.
@@petrhajduk9955 yeah, od course, but a lot of people in Czechia don't speak english, and i would love to have them bealive in good urbanism. There are a lot of car problems in Czechia, And if more people knew about them, it might be easier to resolve them.
@@chleba47927 That's a good point.
As mentioned already, Wellington.
And, New Zealand Dollars, not Dinars. :)
Also I still think you should rather convert the price to Euro, not USD..
About the currency, that was a joke, I called the currency "New Zealand Dinars, then New Zealand Rupees, and then kiwi bucks"
about the USD/EUR conversion, you're right, I always forget to do that..
3:53: Was this shot at N. O. S., Prague-Barrandov?
Yes, it was!
Nice
Nechci bejt hnidopich, ale pozměnil bych formulaci "Please consider subscribing, you would be really cool if you did." Sice je to gramaticky správně, ale je to takový trošku... no prostě si myslim, že rodilej mluvčí by to nikdy takhle neřekl. Zkusil bych něco jednoduššího, zvlášť když to k tomu řikáš ve voice overu.
Dobře, příště to přeformuluju, díky za zpětnou vazbu!
bruh. I live in auckland 😢
Good video
Thank you!
Your chart at 53 seconds is misleading. The original data puts Dublin number 2, but if you take into account employee schemes, it falls dramatically. The ticket used for this data is not a ticket anyone should be buying without incentive and other tickets become more suitable.
If the data is hiding actual costs, not reliable.
This taste like bubble bum
