The world's longest tram in Budapest - CAF - Die weltweit längste Straßenbahn

[@antonv.]

Very nice

[@sparta178]

Yes

[@FUTURAGAEL]

Made in Spain by CAF Zaragoza

[@treypohe4593]

What really bothers me a lot is the fact that it's not symmetrical from one end to the other...

[@OriginalPuro]

W.. Why would that matter at all?

[@meandwhoism]

yes it's a 9 piece

Although it is long , but more beautiful.

[@kailidovas9562]

Indeed

[@adammaher6601]

Here in Dublin Ireland we have 55 metre Long Trams. So we have the 2nd longest Trams in the world

[@mrtyrant1016]

Jesus it is very, very, very long. That's 50 m

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

It's more than that - Dublin has the second longest street trams (behind Budapest) and those are 54.6m. I think the ones in Budapest are around 56m. The trams in Rabat-Sale (Morocco) consist of two articulated Citadis 302s giving a combined length of 64m (very long platforms there), but they are still considered two trams back to back. (Edit: I just realised that this 'tram' has two pantographs which might render it a street train - can anyone add to this?)

[@pannoniamaps8829]

So looooooooong! Hope to see it soon in passenger service!

[@TuukkaVarjoranta]

Great video of that tram! It's so damn long :-D

[@jazzcool]

+Tuukka Varjoranta Thank you very much!

[@BcroG11]

Does this tram have one driver/some sort of worker at each end?

[@gaborkovari5093]

You always have to grasp the handrails if you can,t get one of the few seats. Combino and CAF can throw you far when suddenly braking, though not as terribly as old Ganz trams did/do, haha

[@treypohe4593]

How fun would it be just standing at one end of the light rail then looking down to the other and seeing it sway here and there... 😏

[@OriginalPuro]

About 5 fun, since you ask.

[@ashisdey5846]

Is this a trail run ?

[@villamjoe87]

It was in 2016. It's in operation since.

[@MedicusVishalus]

Looking more like train rather than tram

[@cloudfater]

Szép darab ! Ez már szinte vonat. Milyen lenne a vonalon egy Desirot végigküldeni ?

[@Denshinu]

Szép, de a keskeny nyomtáv miatt bem hiszem hogy erre sor kerülne

[@cl.500.molekuel]

At least the tram driver never has to thinnk about if he got the turn right.

[@Charles-SG]

How many pantograph has that thing got?

[@werewolfzilla8263]

9 carts wow where is this because thats so cool

[@richardwyndham7666]

Why is it empty?

[@treborsirrah7916]

They are testing it , if you look in the windows you can see plastic covering on the seats ,also @ :24 seconds if you look at the floor ,there are bags of sand on the floor to simulate the weight of passengers

[@DanielsUKT]

wow 9 coaches very long

[@AussieGunzel]

The new trams in Sydney are probably slightly longer

[@yeganemarket4398]

In sydney its combinatiom of 2 trams but its full longer

[@amarsven]

Sometimes length matters...

[@anisocoro]

These are certainly very long vehicles, i wonder how many passengers are there in Budapest who wants to catch tramways every day in order to justify tramways tht are so long and that carry so many passengers

[@S404_44]

anisocoro The _villamos_ in Budapest is an integral part of its transport system. As far as I know, these vehicles are used for example on the busy line 1 circling around the city centre

[@HUNdAntae]

It runs on the 4-6 tramway line which is the single busyest line above ground line. It's a "circle" line (not a full circle per se) that connects many hubs and touches all 4 metro lines (some of them not even once). It is frikking busy. Also the area that ir hugs on the Pest side is quite walkable if you have some stamina.

[@claudiupintilii2473]

wow,beautiful

[@dorbis9024]

when will it hit the streets

[@bence0726]

+jayjay2016 Today. :)

[@dorbis9024]

bence0726 ok

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

I'm not an expert, but can a tram have two pantographs and still be considered a tram? Is this not really a street train? The Citadis 502 trams in Dublin are slightly shorter @ 54.6m, but operate with just one pantograph.

[@weeardguy]

If that's your definition off the difference between a train and a tram, the Netherlands has a huge amount of trams that are actually trains, as they only have one pantograph up... The double pantograph thing is mostly down to power-distribution. One pantograph could very well load the overhead wiring too much at one point, with the risk of breaking the wires. It's also a thing with the wiring inside the tram itself. Instead of having to wire the whole tram with 600/750 VDC from end to end, one can now have two separate circuits that are shorter. This may not look like a huge saving for one tram, but the price-point comes to a considerable mark when dealing with 30 trams or more.

[@Israelroads]

I loved the fact the seats are still covered with nylons and there are sand bags inside.

[@mcdonnelldouglasmd-1184]

How many cars. I don't want to count

[@soobinsbread590]

Well maybe 9

[@treypohe4593]

There is 9.

[@r.l.i.m.p5222]

9 cars?!

[@tukaidas1272]

Yep

[@latios5376]

how does 1 little car be able to pull 8 cars? are we already in the future?

[@PutlerXLO]

Every wheel pair has own electric motor on all tramcars. So, this one should have 10 electric motors.

[@shrimpfry880]

I want these monsters on the Grand Boulevard. Those Combinos are always filled with people

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

Technically, they are not the longest in the world. Although they are the longest single unit, some cities run two five section trams joined together which are longer, and eventually Sydney could be running two seven car units joined together, making 14 car trams

[@jazzcool]

If two units, may be the trams in Jerusalem are the longest.

[@stefanodifranco1297]

+jazzcool ott sokkal rovidebb

[@jazzcool]

+stefano di franco Jeruzsálemben csak kétkocsis Citadisok közlekednek, azok így 65 méteresek.

[@stefanodifranco1297]

Ok köszi szépen majd én is összeteszek 4 darab ganz csuklós villamos és akkor 100 méter hosszú lesz......és akkor kinevezi magát a világ leghosszabb villamosának. Így már könnyebb.

[@jazzcool]

a kérdés az, hogy hol közlekednek állandó jelleggel 65 m-nél hosszabb szerelvények?

[@gbrfan6644]

Wow

[@kittihorvath9389]

[@NicoleEmmanuel304]

[@joelmartin2549]

Technically that's light rail (a train not a tram).

[@YarcoTV]

How so?

[@vintageradio3404]

Trams run on light rail. Trains run on heavy rail.

[@samanli-tw3id]

Joel Martin light rail is actually a technological evolution of the tram

[@Vikkin1218]

Eredetileg a combino volt a leghosszabb, ezt a cimet vette el a CAF villamos.

[@levs5319]

Okay so a lot of people think who haven't been to budapest or not know that much stuff 'bout it that the tram is beautiful etc. And... that is true but we only have it on one line and that very line goes through budapest's worst parts basicly the ghetto and then in to the innercity so if you ever go on this line in the outer places BE CAREFUL! there has been incidents of innocent people getting shot with drugs and also that area is filled with dealers. And that is it

[@weeardguy]

The same as with every big city I guess... there are a few places in Amsterdam as well where one might be a little more careful than others...

[@drakeblackk]
