Driver's Eye View - Prague Tram Tour with a very special Tatra T3 Coupé tram
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 06. 2024
- A tram with a “Wow” factor normally reserved for iconic sports cars is hard to imagine, but the Tatra T3 Coupé does just that. In a city where trams both modern and traditional are a common sight, the T3 Coupé stands out as people stop, to wave, take a photo or just watch it pass by. The T3 tram has been an integral part of the Prague cityscape for over half a century, Prague Public Transit Co in conjunction with the studio Anna Marešová designers worked to create a sightseeing tram that celebrated the T3 in Prague, resulting in the creation of the T3 Coupé, combining the very best of sixties design with a contemporary, stylish all white interior.
Prague's first horse drawn tram line was opened in 1875, and the first electric tram ran in 1891. Today’s network consists of 142.4 km of track served by a sizable fleet of 968 trams.
This video starts at Náměstí Republiky with trip to Sídliště Barrandov over the extension opened in 2003 between Hlubočepy-Sídliště Barrandov followed by a run through the city to Královka and finally on to Pohořelec close to Prague Castle.

The best capital city in Europe; dearly want to visit
It's a lovely city with a great sense of humour, it's reasonably priced too.
Riding the trams was the most enjoyable memory of my 2 weeks in the Czech Republic last year. Interesting to note, I heard more English in the background of this video than what I encountered in my stay. I hit the tourist areas around 0700 or 0800 and went further out after 0900, so most of the Czech people that I encountered had to endure my “dobry den,” “prosim,” “dekuji” and pointing, ending with an attempt at “Na shledanou.” I had a great time, but “prominte” to those who had to endure my attempts.
Hi Bill, the Czech people will have appreciated you trying to use their language. I was travelling with a group of mainly English tourists, hence the English in the background. When I went into the city alone, English was not the predominant language, most of the other tourists were from Asia, considering the time of year I was surprised at how many tourists there were. I didn't get much past "Dobry Den" and "Dekuji" fortunately our hosts were often bi-lingual and most of the younger people spoke reasonable English. I had intended to return to the Czech republic in June on another tour, although the tour is still advertised, I'll be surprised if it goes ahead, maybe I should use my time in lock-down to practice a few more Czech phrases. Take care. Tim.
Tatras are unbreakable !!!
They have certainly become a legend in their own lifetime, no other tram has managed to do that.
Jeez, I love this City. It's also called the "Golden Town"...
When one sees this gold light of the sun reflected upon the walls of the houses, one understands why... ☀️
Shame there are not more views of the center down town and the Vltava banks.... the river is sometimes "golden" too!
Prague is much more beautiful to see by foot wander.
Thanks anyway for this video 💕☀️
Thank you for this lovely video. How I miss racing the trams on my bicycle at night from St. Ludmila’s to the Jirásek Bridge and the Vltava, on Ječná and Resslova. ❤️
Hi, I'm pleased it bought back nice memories from your own time in the city 😊
The amount of different trams is amazing!
It's a tram lovers paradise.
Thanks for the virtual tour.
Very enjoyable. Have to add going back to Prague and having a ride on a Tram to my every growing travel list of things to do.
Those "to do" lists just keep growing, the world is full of wonderful places to see and things to do. Every time I cross something off, I find 2 more things to add. An all day public transport ticket in Prague is as cheap as chips you'll be able to cross the metro, funicular railway, busses and trams off with just the one ticket.
Zlata Praha!!!!! Greetings from Spain!!!!
This is most wonderful ride I have ever experienced and the driver must be very experienced and alert since he must anticipate.sudden trespass on the roads.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed riding the tram through this beautiful city and "Yes" the driver has to stay alert.
Beautiful City. Thank you1
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
Thanks for post another beautiful video! Enjoy seeing sights I won't see in person! Keep up the great work! Again! Many thanks!!!
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed riding this special tram around the beautiful city of Prague.
How did I not see this video when it came out?! Fantastic job as always Tim! Loved every second of this video!
Cheers, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. Prague isn't just an attractive city with an interesting tram network, it's the home of ČKD Tatra factory responsible for manufacturing these iconic trams.
Lived in Prague for seven years as a TEFL teacher. This was a great nostalgic tour of areas that I knew on a regular basis. Although a commentary would have been perfect. Who would be a tram driver? Thank you Tim.
Hi, I am pleased you enjoyed this tour. Prague is a lovely city, I wish I'd had more time to look around, I will almost certainly return. Commentary would have added an extra dimension to the video, my trouble is I don't like the sound of my own voice and volunteers are few and far between.
Great video! I like that the Tatra T3 trams have wheels covered with a cover. And the trams themselves look great.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. Tatra T3's are my favorite trams, 60's styling at its best and they still look good in 2020.
Thanks for the tour - lovely scenery adds much to the video.
We need good municipal transport like that in every USA city.
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, Prague has an extensive tram system. I visited Denver, the light rail/tram system there was impressive. I live in the UK, a country that sacrificed all but one tram system for buses; in light of today's traffic chaos that was a poor decision, some cities have new tram systems, but they come at a crippling cost. Most European cities kept their trams, How I wish UK policy makers at the time had taken decisions based on providing a service rather than making false short term savings.
@@Timsvideochannel1
Great reply.
It is no secret here in the USA, that money talks all else walks. We had great trolleys systems (these were precursors to the trams) but abandoned them in the late 1930s and 40s because of intense lobbying by the oil and automobile interests. These capitalists did so in order to compel people to buy their cars and their gasoline. As a consequence, the air became more polluted, others died from cancer, and the streets became horribly congested. Thankfully, there has now been a resurgence in having more public transportation. It is now called "light rail" which to me is not quite as efficient as were trolleys and trackless trolleys. But they certainly do improve transportation efficiency and safety in the urban areas.

trackless trolleys (now called trolleybus): tinyurl.com/ycqygojr
@@merccadoosis8847 Hi, the first link gave an interesting result - vintage drink trolleys, although the second link took me to some wonderful photos of trolley buses 😉 Most towns and cities of the former Soviet Union have extensive tram and trolley bus systems, usually operated by old, but fascinating vehicles, those that have become members of the EU usually have modern updated systems. This link takes you to a city that has been to hell and back, yet somehow its old trams survive to do the job they very built to do over 60 years earlier - czcams.com/video/APLAvPDs8Rw/video.html
@@merccadoosis8847 Good luck reviving your public transport! It must be so sad and difficult in a country where many probably consider public transport as socialist.
@@aswler
Yes, some people stupidly believe public transportation as "Marxist" and similar ideologies. This because of their ignorance and stupidity. All these delusionals need do is to read the letters of that 'Marxist' George Washington who wrote about the need to promote public works in his letters (1786). They may also read Marxist Hamilton's *Report On Manufactures* of 1791. One of the first major public works projects which involved public transportation was that of Marxist Governor DeWitt Clinton of 1817. The great irony of all this is the fact that all these "Marxists" did these things well before Marx was born.
Right wingers are well known for their ignorance and stupidity. This behooves the more patriotic members of society to inform these ignoramuses so that we may have social reform and ultimately a more productive society.
Another excellent production
Thank you, Prague is a lovely city.
A very nice Tram Tour of Prague. They have nice modern Trams now. Seeing this video
brought back a lot of memories since I saw a lot of places that I know especially the buildings that I used to live at Smichov and Arbesovo Namesti. I am a
New Yorker now, hope to visit Prague.
Prague is a nice place, you must miss it, although New York is also an awesome city.
New York City used to be an awsome city for me at one time. I am sure that it is awsome for some. Many people that I knew moved out of New York. I used to run all over, going to places.
Riding the New York City subway and saying to myself, I am a New Yorker, just like the New Yorker song. But not any more, those days are gone for me. I hope to move to Florida now. To live a healthier life there. I hope to visit Prague one day again. Last time I was in Prague was in 2008. I have enjoyed watching this tram video again. So many memories I have of places in this video.
Спасибо за экскурсию!
Спасибо, я рад, что вам понравилось.

It's nice to hear from India, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Greetings from England.
Thanks Time for another great ride, Praque is a beautiful City. one thing I noticed was almost no litter on the streets, and minimal graffiti also. clean people, clean city America take notice. (I doubt it! ) Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. The only graffiti I saw was on freight wagons, generally the Czech Republic is a clean and tidy country.
Thanks for the tour, Tim. Love the video, love the architecture. 🐨🇦🇺
Cheers, Prague is a fascinating city with an interesting history, reflected in the many styles of European architecture.
Very good video!👍👍👍

what a lovely town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a very nice travel in a beautifull vintage tram .
Hi, it was a very enjoyable trip, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Cidade muito linda demais
É um lugar adorável.
While spending sequestered time from the Coronavirus, I came across this video. What a wonderful way to spend my afternoon. Sounds like the passengers were having a great time. I visited Prague in 1976 and if I ever return, this will be number one on my list of things to do. Great job.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. Coronavirus is causing a lot of us to change the way we spend our time, I hope you are OK. Prague is a lovely place to visit, I bet it's changed a bit since you were there in 1976. Public transport is cheap and the tram network is extensive, although riding this tram has to be the best way to enjoy the sights.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks for your reply. I'll have to check out more of your videos. Prague was still under Communist rule in 1976 so the atmosphere at the time was rather subdued. Beautiful city though. As for the virus, I live in Utah and am sheltering in place. We had an earthquake that you may have heard about so that spiced things up a bit. No damage where I live but Salt Lake City had some. Back to videos, I found one today which took an hour ride on a narrow gauge interurban through the Vitter Valley in Austria to the town of Mayerhof. Beautiful sunny day. I had thoughts of Sound of Music. I've got a channel with a variety of things. I've been editing digitized super 8 films made by a Union Pacific engineer back in the decade of the 70's. Early Amtrak and classic freight action.
@@LeeWitten Hi, I just took a look at some of the videos you've posted to CZcams, there is some really interesting stuff there. My parents took a camper van all over the former Eastern bloc countries just after the wall came down, one of their main comments was the lack of colour, that's certainly not the case now. I wasn't aware of the quake in Utah, coronavirus is the only thing on the News these days, I had hoped Brexit would be over and done with so that we can get on with ordinary life again with our politicians bitching about stuff that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, sadly corona-virus had put normal life on hold for the time being. I hope the damage caused by the Utah quake was minimal with no loss of life.
Austria is home to a variety of fascinating railways such as the one you mentioned. This tour continued into Austria with some more one off trips along unusual freight and other little used lines, both standard and narrow gauge, I look forward to uploading videos about them in the coming months as time permits. When I get a spare moment I'll take a look at more videos on your channel. Stay safe and well. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks for checking out some of my videos. I'm going to get on your channel this afternoon. Right now I'm editing another Harris super 8 video shot in 1975 on the Rio Grande Route through central Utah. Both desert and mountainous country. I can echo your parent's comment about lack of color in the Eastern Block. Before arriving in Prague we travelled from Hamburg to Berlin then to Munich and Prague. As we crossed the boarder from western to eastern Germany, it was startling how the entire nature and "color" of the country became. Also our power out of Berlin through East Germany was steam engines. For a rail fan, that was kind of neat. Unfortunately I didn't record much of it. I was shooting super 8 and being very conservative on amount of film. I was concentrating on scenery more than trains at the time. Boy what I could have done if digital was round then.
I mean't to say that I'm watching CZcams on my large screen tv so it really feels like virtual reality. Cab views are really great this way. Oh and can I assume you are in England since you mentioned Brexit and spell color (colour)!
Спасибо замечательно.
Спасибо, я рад, что вам понравилось.
красота какая
Been there thrice over the last 15 years - first as a student, next as a romantic stop over with my gf, (who is my wife now) and then again two years ago. One of the most beautiful, charming cities in Europe! Food and Pilsner are amazing, esp. the Bohemian cuisine and their Goulash! Palladium Mall is a great place to shop for.
Did I say it's quite affordable to most visitors (esp. if you're students), too?
Hi, it was nice to be in a capital city where the cost of a meal, coffee or beer was reasonable and public transport was both good and relatively cheap. This was my first visit, I'll almost certainly return with my wife, trains and trams are not her thing, but I know she'll love the city. It was cold whilst I was there, a delicious bowl of Goulash was just the thing to warm me up.
Another specialty Tim.
Cheers, I hope you enjoyed it.
BELLISSIMA PRAGA
😊👍👌
Nice
Thanks
Great video! But what was the truck driver at 2:55 thinking, having stopped in the middle of a junction in front of a tram? Later he was even driving back while the tram was about to pass him.
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, as for the truck driver, he/she didn't seen to understand that trams can't simply drive around obstacles, like badly parked trucks.
It is a surprisingly silent and smooth ride. Or is that a recording artifact?
The tram was fitted with a modern traction package and the track was maintained in very good condition contributing to the smooth ride. The camera also uses electronic image stabilisation to smooth the worst of the bumps out.
Velmi pěkné video. Během hraničního přechodu tak můžete zůstat v krásné Praze.
Ahoj, jsem rád, že se vám to líbilo video. Praha je krásné město s fascinující historií.
Hi, I am pleased you enjoyed the video. Prague is a beautiful city with a fascinating history.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Dal jsem to do faforitů a určitě se na to často podívám. Znám mnoho míst a hlavně cesta do Barrandova mě přivedla. Tuto část města znám jen z filmového studia. Trasa tam je fantastická. Musím tam jít, pokud je to možné znovu. Praha je pro mě nejkrásnějším městem, které znám, ale nikdy se s ním opravdu nedozvím. Historie a množství památek je těžko zvládnutelné. Kromě toho je zde také skutečnost, že vám v Praze nechybí ani pivo a dobré jídlo. Myšlenka prohlídky města tramvají je skvělá, ale ne nová. Už jsem to doporučil mnoha turistům v Drážďanech. Ještě jednou děkuji za pěkné video!
@@wellhausen Ahoj, jsem rád, že jste si užili tramvajovou prohlídku Prahy s krásnými historickými budovami a památkami. Tramvajové zájezdy jsou skvělý nápad, mnoho měst po celém světě provozuje podobné služby. Tato tramvaj měla malý bar, který nabízí pivo a další nápoje. Pivo a jídlo v Praze je chutné, s množstvím hospůdek a kaváren. Musím navštívit Drážďany, pít pivo a vychutnat si jídlo v jedné z kaváren.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed taking a tram tour around Prague, with its beautiful historic buildings and monuments. Tram tours are a great idea, many cities around the world operate similar services. This tram had a small bar serving beer and other drinks. The beer and food in Prague is tasty, with plenty of pubs and cafes. I need to visit Dresden to drink a beer and enjoy a meal at one of the cafes.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Drážďany jsou krásné město, nebo byste řekli, že bylo krásné město? Právě teď se toho hodně mění. Ale ne nutně k lepšímu. Návštěva však přesto stojí za to. Neváhejte mě kontaktovat, až přijde čas. Pokud nejsem v České republice, trochu bych vám ukázal město.
@@wellhausen Děkuji za vaši laskavou nabídku. Měl jsem navštívit Drážďanskou parkovou železnici v rámci organizovaného turné letos v létě, bohužel všechny mé cestovní plány byly zrušeny kvůli Coronaviru. Doufám, že se máte dobře a těším se, že budu moci znovu cestovat.
Thank you for your kind offer. I was due to visit the Dresden Park Railway as part of an organised tour this summer, sadly all my travel plans have been cancelled due to Coronavirus. I hope you are well and I look forward to being able to travel again.
I always enjoy your tram tours. (I like them with music though. )
Thank you I'm pleased you enjoyed it, I like to watch these rides with music playing, the only problem is: choosing music to suit everyone's taste.

ROUTE DISTANCE 5 KM 910 METERS - - - BEAUTY !!! BAD THAT THE SUN IS NOT ENOUGH ! 4 ++
The distance is about correct, the tram turned through 360 degrees so at some point if the sun was out it was going to shine into the camera lens, it didn't help that it was winter with the sun was low in the sky, although everything considered, I was pleased with result. I hope you enjoyed the ride.
GOOD 🎁👍💖💖💖😍😍😍
Thank you :-)
This city was built for the trams, cars are an after thought. It seems to be working. I enjoyed the video.
"Yes" I agree, trams look so at home in this city, many of them were made there.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I was forced to spend the twenty worst years of my life in this place and have walked every square inch of every street shown here hundreds of times and only one dream kept me going; to one day be able to get out and live my life out on any of the beautiful streets of suburban America. Of course those 20 years were spent under the Communist (Soviet) rule but I thought I should bring out one fact of life which is that no matter how splendid those ancient (overly painted) buildings appear nothing makes up for the joys of living in a the suburbs of a free country. I am 84 years now. I wasted the best years of my life in that dreary place. I hope nothing changes it while I still live. Please keep it this way.
A beautiful city,Love the old buildings cobblestone st's and a wonderful tram network,Thanks tim you have done it again,Our nsw government policy on old buildings rail lines and stations plus tram networks is to "SMASH AND BURN"cheer's bob.
European cities are fascinating, many suffered badly as a result of two world wars, but instead of demolishing the old buildings and replacing them with modern ones, they rebuilt them as they had been before they were damaged, the result is pleasing to the eye. Cities in the UK such as Portsmouth and Plymouth were rebuild with square, low quality buildings that quickly aged looking even more ugly than when they were built. Many went on to become an embarrassment to those cities, most have now been demolished after a relatively short life, to be replaced with more ugly buildings often built in the same materials as factories, some planners never learn. Old photos of these towns show some of the beautiful buildings that were lost to war damage, British towns would look so much more attractive if they'd done as many European towns did, in rebuilding, instead of replacing old buildings with modern, ugly square monstrosities. From your comment, NSW government is repeating the mistakes made in Britain. A good halfway measure, now quite common even in Britain is to retain the facades of the old buildings whilst constructing a completely new building behind, the best of both worlds.Take care. Tim.
What did the driver do to the tracks right in the beginning around 1:45? Swap the way that they would go?
Hi, the driver switched the points by hand using the bar he was carrying.
Прага очень зеленая и конечно весна в Праге безумно красивая,сейчас холодновато!
Прага, даже зимой красивый город. Когда Covid-19 ограничения сняты я хотел бы вернуться, чтобы увидеть город во все времена года.
Prague, even in winter is a beautiful city. When the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted I would love to return to see the city in all seasons.
❤
I'm pleased you enjoyed the video 😊
From some other videos I've seen of trams from Prague, that one seems to ride rather more smoothly and quietly than the modern ones, particularly over the cobbles.
Trams tracks set in cobbled streets look great with the trams still enjoying a smooth ride whilst the people in cars and busses get really shaken up.
Tim, the other people on the tram seem to be uninterested in most of the things I would be asking about. eg. there's the river but, what about the building across the road. The river is a river but, what about all the beautiful buildings.
Our tour guide was giving a running commentary about places and things of interest along the route, the camera just didn't pick it up. Prague is a lovely city with a rich history.
Is it true that the high floor trams are comfortable than the low floor ones?
Hi, the ride in these trams is good, but I think the reason is that they are not articulated, modern articulated trams can be a bit jerky on tight bends.
WOW
Brilliant video. Where to next Tim?
Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Next we visit the Giant Mountains near Prague for two days riding the local railways behind various steam locomotives before making our way to Austria for more railway adventures. I still have video footage from New Zealand, Morocco, Italy, Switzerland and the UK to edit and upload, plus the Spring Galas are about to kick the UK heritage railway season off, there is also the London Model Railway Exhibition this month. Its going to be a busy few months.
(23:07) On the right side: Maybe the (blue) Eurocity from Hamburg, Germany?
Probably not. 1. The tram has just passed the station Praha-Smichov. That's west of the Vltava. The EC Germany - Czech Republic - Hungary cross Praha east of the Vltava. 2. The EC from/to Hamburg consists of 4-5 2nd class coaches, a dining car and 1-2 1st class coaches. The train in the video is too short and has no dining car.

Oh dear, I didn't realise it was out of date, I downloaded from czech-transport.com/images/Praha_tramvaje_metro_denni_schema_19.04.19.png
when I was walking to the Hilton, a Czech bus lost gears,etc from under it, 1958
Wow, that was an unusual thing to witness.
The images certainly are crystal clear, but why does the video appear to have a bluish tint?
Hi, this was taken with a GoPro Hero 7 Black Edition and the tram windows were tinted. GoPro's are great for their size but the colours can be a little out in bright sunshine, sometimes I correct the colour with my video editing software, but on this occasion I left it as it was because it wasn't too far off, it was a bright winters day.
Okay, actually I had considered that possibility. I just wasn’t sure. Placing the GoPro on the outside is so much better, as Mars Hartdegen does on VNR locomotives in Vietnam. I realize of course, there are possible hazards involved, not to mention getting permission. But it is so much more rewarding experiencing ambient sound, rather than the repetitive routine inside the cab. I thank you for your prompt, informative reply, good luck!
@@robertvanhoek9470 Hi, I do try to get a camera on the outside where ever possible. Mars does a great job, made a little easier by the low speed of the trains in Vietnam, a Gopro on the outside works up to about 45 mph after that things go downhill, this is a video taken using either a GoPro 6 or 7 that demonstrates the problems of mounting a camera on the outside - czcams.com/video/dT12qqDQAqA/video.html&feature=emb_logo I am not a train driver and getting a camera in the cab is an opertunist thing, I have to be as quick as possible, causing the minimum of disruption, some videos are more successful than others, although I am always grateful to the drivers who allow a camera either in or on their trains. These days there are a number of train drivers who have more time to set things up posting some really excellent videos such as those posted by HinduCowGirl.
Thanks for turning me on to another vlogger! I really enjoy these types of videos. I’m a life long railfan, who is very interested in exploring the varied aspects of cultural relativity. I love to “visit” world-class cities from my recliner. I became disabled in 2012 with peripheral neuropathy, courtesy of my tour of duty in S. E. Asia in 1970. By “riding” the tram in these cities, I can almost feel what life is like in Western & Eastern Europe. I served eleven months in W. Germany in 1969 when I was 17, but was too young & distracted to really appreciate my situation. So thanks to individuals like yourself, I can now observe other cultures & tour great cities from the comfort of my living room, in N.Y.C., USA.

Which line number is this? I visited Prague about 8 years ago, T3 could be a clue though I wasn't sure if that was the model of the tram. Does seem to be following the route 3
Hi, this was a tour of several different routes, the routes along with the line numbers can be see on the maps at 00:34 & 38:01- Tatra T3 is the model of the tram. As you have visited Prague you will be aware of how extensive the tram system is, I wish the museum had been open when I was there.
I would like to know who controls all the points?
As far as I am aware the tram driver controls the points, some systems use powerful electromagnets to send signals to receivers that control the electric point motors, the most modern systems communicate with the motors using modern electronics.
