LISBON TRAMS - 3. 26.Nov.2016. "Difficult Passing Place".

[@GaryCameron780]

I've been watching a number of the Lisbon tram videos and am amazed at how agile they are.

[@MrBonafida]

Me too . ,brilliant !

[@daianbotelho]

I still see it really amazing how it was possible to accommodate transportation technologies of the 20th century in cities that still keep tight and winding streets from the medieval era! It´s almost a miracle it works even with this traffic problem!

[@ACLTony]

Amazing how tight the spacing is and yet, it's a normal routine for this area. Really cool that service is frequent!

[@sparkrace]

Ah lovely Lisbon, ride the trams, don't forget the tuk tuks and lovely bakery just across from the lift tower so very friendly people and proper cosmopolitan mix for people watching.

[@aldershot5100]

I was about 7 in 67 when we stopped off in Lisbon back from Jamaica. I remember Dad taking me around the city and being terrified of the trams.They gave you no time to get on and off

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

I like those 3-wheel cars!

[@1035pm]

I’m intrigued to know how the trams coming towards us changed lanes to go down hill? As I can see no switch point.

[@SuperSiggiboy]

It miger be a passive switch, always switching traffic coming towards us down the hill, while still allowing traffic to pass the other direction. Passive switches are spring loaded and do not allow high speeds.

[@paulkennedy8701]

@@SuperSiggiboy That's true. However, the key thing is that no tram ever has to go UP the hill. The 28 operates in both directions, as we see. The 12 is a one-way loop and goes only in the direction we see. (Incidentally, the parking has been removed and a second track has recently been laid.)

[@leeharvey8334]

Many thanx for the great information Harold.

Interesting

Such a lovely corner. I would love to live there

Lisboa é lindaaaaaaaa 💕💕💕💕

[@АндрейЧернышев-х7х]

Просматривая это видео, вспомнились златоустовские трамваи(Россия/Урал), они в этом городе тоже ходят по горам и среди старых домов

[@jcarlosbaptista]

if you go down that street, until rua das escolas gerais its even more tiny street

[@marcoshenriquesaat3121]

Quando eu vejo os bondes(eléctricos) de Lisboa lamento que aqui no Brasil quase todas as linhas de bonde foram erradicadas. Seria bom ter bondes rodando pelos centros históricos de Salvador e São Luís que lembram muito Lisboa.

[@duailibi2]

Bem, suponho que tenham preferid ok fazaer corredores de autocarros em vês de ficarem com o que deixamos aí da europa

[@DanielsUKT]

Very narrow passing place it must be difficult for them to negotiate with the traffic every day

[@chuckwyant7586]

How are these able to donthe grades without slipting. I was amazed when we were there watching them.

[@xfel5913]

Tried to find that spot on google Earth - apparently they remodeled it at some point and removed the single-tracked bit.

[@lohphat]

Yeah it looks like there's plenty of room for two tracks in front of the white building on the left but I bet the owner screamed a lot for that consideration to allow street parking.

still the same. It is called Rua são tome (são tome street)

[@AlanChurley]

@@fredericoantunes2304 If you head down 5 Tv. São Tomé and look back, google street view hasn't been updated so you can still see the single track, but in some areas there are newer photos showing dual track running, Single (Old): www.google.com/maps/@38.71312,-9.1305136,3a,75y,214.78h,63.58t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6x9bZ8S6h7vQeJV-qNnpJA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Double: www.google.com/maps/@38.7129672,-9.1305613,3a,75y,12.54h,54.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sd6ujmr_4tL521-o69-80Nw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Two tracks looks a lot more sensible, but definitely less interesting although it looks like there is no way for the outer track to head up the hill?

[@fredericoantunes2304]

@@AlanChurley the track that comes from rua sao tomé is used by the 12 tram. The track that comes from tv.sao tome is used by the 28 tram. The track that goes down to tv.sao tome divides into 2 tracks a few meters below

[@slurpii4669]

This videos makes me sad cause the government in my country banned the trams in the 60's, I wish I could get on a tram even for once

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

What's your country?

[@antonyhobbs1144]

I was a tram driver for ten years we always had to give way to trams coming from the right.

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Nice video, LIKE !!!

[@ismaelfranciscoalmeida6803]

Isso que podemos chamar de bagunça organizada.perfeito e porquê as colonias não seguiram o exemplo?

[@Madhuntr]

first time ive seen a tram jam

[@leeharvey8334]

I was wondering why the trams have a trolley poll and also a pantagraph?

[@haroldsmith45302]

Pantographs are used on the straight-ish high-speed routes having greater clearances in the western section of Lisbon, but in the curvy narrow hill streets in eastern Lisbon, the pantos might snag on the buildings and their projecting architectural features, so trolley poles are used there.

[@happy--user]

2:07 I wonder how many pedestrians got squashed against this building.

[@duailibi2]

None. They walk on the middle of the street or go by car.

[@Palmieres]

The trams are way too noisy and the tram drivers are too accustomed to navigate this kind of chaos for that to happen.

[@ckildegaard]

How is there traffic in two directions on either side of the street? I'm so confused lol

[@MrMatavelhas]

The tram on the right side is one way only.

[@Seregium]

Супер!

[@exboss1]

Wenn die Tramfahrer sie beachten, ist die Vorfahrt kein Problem - es gilt rechts vor links. Und in den engen Kurven heißt es: rechtzeitig Strom reduzieren, sonst kippt man aus den Schienen!

[@gorinp]

Прикольно, и бугель и пантограф на одном трамвае. Осталось ещё аккумуляторы добавить для полного счастья.

[@fleischlicht7452]

I think you cant sleep when you life there. I live next to a tramway track but its not that loud and difficult.

[@a.m.1259]

At late hours there's no trams. Anyway you get used to the noise and somehow ended up appreciating the sounds of the city. But Lisbon is not that busy

In Europe, is required the maximum amount of parkings per buildings.

Imagine having such a developed tram network that your tram cars need to have blinkers too.

[@duailibi2]

I think most trams in the world have blinkers.
