10 years since I was in Helsinki! I miss going around to Stockmann and Centrum and watching people and drinking coffee. Must take a trip in the summer. 😊

[@davidroberts7425]

Helsinki is a favourite city and lived there for several years. The number 4 tram route from Munkkinemi was my daily commute. Last years return was just as special. Love the trams. Thanks for the video.

[@jout738]

My favorite tram route was with number 1, unitil they changed it and so it was not so great anymore.

[@alisdairmclean8605]

Same here. I used to live in Munkkivuori so this was very familiar to me.

Greeting from Helsinki to St. Petersburg. Our cities are so close, so why you St. Petersburg people dont build your own tramway, when we have trams in Helsinki 131 years since 1890 and now Tampere will have their new 20 trams in their new tramway line in Tampere.

[@perplexxer]

@@jout738 Good to know that tram networks in Tampere and Helsinki are developing, I have to praise city authorities and Finnish taxpayers for that. Unfortunately, in St Pete we've lost most of our tram lines in city centre due to poor city management, and prioritizing metro, bus and private cars over trams. It's a big mistake

What beautiful wide streets with oceans of space! Since most busses don't have the color scheme of the tramways, I'll guess these are different companies? Are there more companies offering services in Helsinki as I also saw busses in orange.

[@Jontsa73]

Hi Ook! You are right, the colors of the different bus companies are no longer visible in the street. The painting scheme of all buses is Helsinki Region Transport joint local authority. In fact, the orange buses have the same paint scheme, just different color. They are trunk bus route buses. Helsinki Region Transport also procure tram, metro, ferry and commuter train services. The name of the bus company is usually visible front on the sides in the upper corners and back. Companies operating here are, for example, Helsingin bussiliikenne, Nobina, Pohjolan liikkenne and Savonlinjat.

Yes, the driver has a switch to select the rail switch position. There is a receiver in the ground that detects the electromagnetic pulse send by the tram.

Это видео было снято во время коронавируса. Съемки проходили в субботу утром. Комендантского часа не было, но рестораны и бары были закрыты. Исторически провинция Уусимаа была изолирована от остальной части Финляндии из-за высокой заболеваемости. This video was shot during the coronavirus. The filming was done on Saturday morning.

Kyselit aiemmin laivamatkustajista niin mainittakoon, että jos erehdyksessä istuskelee Vyökadun pysäkin ohi ja päätyy Merisotilaantorille, on kävelymatka takaisin päin noin 5minuuttia. Mikäli odotteluaika on pidempi ja sää sallii, niin suosittelen kävelyä takaisin, ellei sitten nauti raitiovaunussa istuskelusta😁

Tak for turen. Jeg har hid til set The Taffu´s videoer, men nu vil jeg da også se Dine. Det er godt, at Du har stoppestedernes skiltet på, så kan man på et kort fra google map eller HSL`s linjekort og se hvor man er i byen. Næsten som at være der selv. Det der også er rart, det er at Du har camera fremad, bagud og til højre, ned så Vi kan se hvad Du betjener af knapper +. ? men har Du ikke også visninger til venstre ? ? hvad er det Du griner af kl 28 26 😹 ? Tak for at Du deler Din hverdag arbejde med Os. Det giver en god indsigt i Jeres arbejde og byen. ? køre Du også bus, lige som Taffu ? Håber at Du og Din Familie har haft en God Jul 2022 og et Godt Nyt År 😺🎅🐶🍀🌻☃🎉🎄

[@Jontsa73]

Hi Leif! I am really grateful that you and 29 thousand other KZbin friends have found this video. This project was quite tedious when I added the maps, stop signs and announcements to the video. In reality, the announcements can be heard weakly in the cockpit, but I traveled through the route separately to get them recorded. When shooting this video, I had three cameras in use at the same time and there was not enough camera for the left. I recorded rear view while traveling with a colleague and recording stop announcements. At 28 minutes I'm amused when the little boy who got off the tram wanted to be Harry Potter and try open the tram doors again by pressing the door opening buttons with his magic wand. I don't have a bus driver's license like Taffu. To drive a tram in Helsinki, a driver's license for a passenger car is enough and the company trains from there on. Happy new year to you too!

[@TheMexxodus]

Getting a bit confusing all that switching between views. Maybe better to split the video in two seperate ones: the 'Forward view', and a seperate vid, the 'Backward view'. And the side views for landmarks (like the cathedral, museums, ....) and place them in little pop-up screen in the vid. But otherwise very nice vid.

[@Jontsa73]

Thanks for the idea of small pop up screen. Maybe I test the idea in next video.

[@sergeylevshtanov9080]

@@Jontsa73 as for me, this version of video is the best

[@time2985]

The best tram videos are those that only have the front view but list all the stops. In this video, the signs indicating the stop signs are too big and block the view. Switching between front, side and back view is totally unnecessary and confusing. Also showing the driver is not necessary but should be limited to one time only.

Видео снято ранней весной, в начале апреля. В южной Финляндии деревья начинают раскрывать почки только в мае, а дальше на север еще позже. Наше лето короткое. Вы уже избежали встречи с двумя небольшими парками по дороге к собору. The video was shot in early spring, at the beginning of April. In southern Finland, the trees start to open buds only in May, further north even later. Our summer is short. You have already avoided seeing two small parks on the way to the cathedral

Если вам интересно, где все люди, город просыпается довольно медленно в субботу утром. Однако главной причиной стал короновирус. Кафе и рестораны были закрыты, массовые мероприятия запрещены, а исторически провинция Уусимаа была изолирована от остальной части Финляндии из-за сильного роста случаев заражения. If you're wondering where all the people are, the city wakes up quite slowly on Saturday mornings. However, the bigger reason was the corona virus. Cafes and restaurants were closed, public events were prohibited and historically the province of Uusimaa was isolated from the rest of Finland due to the strong increase in infection cases.
