Maui Airport Tram with Crosswalks!

[@MatecaCorp]

I adore the aesthetics and overall vibe of that system. The world needs more classic styled systems like that.

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Me too! Reminds me of the Treasure Island - Mirage tram in Las Vegas.

[@KenanTurkiye]

That's interesting. I ❤ trains, trams, take a ride, I have a folder on ''transportation'' (folder 2, in playlists) you will love them too :)

[@BaileyChap]

I can't stop gushing over how GOOD this kind of approach can make a "simple sheetmetal box" look.

[@IainHendry]

Great video as always Luke! This is such a strange system. But somehow it looks like it works!

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Lots of moving parts, but it looks like it works well.

[@contactdeklutskwijt1060]

Such a good video Luke!

[@Bureaucromancer]

I have an extremely hard time believing that this was meaningfully cheaper than a conventional railway solution - though I do like the grade crossings on an automated system.

[@damnimloomin]

I believe it look at all the airports in Florida very similar system only they’re elevated typically not ground level.

[@ryy4n_]

it goes like 1,600 ft, theres no need for a big conventional railway

[@fanatichighdesertrailroader]

Very unique. Thanks for the video.

[@dylantherailfanner6601]

Wow that is super cool! It’s like a modern airport and railway with old trams haha

[@Daren_PNW]

A rather strange system but I love the train aesthetics and the abundance of more color for the setting (less grey LOL).

[@etbadaboum]

It's like a monorail at ground level. Very weird.

[@JaeisJustJae]

That railroad crossing is something!

[@CaptainKrimson]

I wonder if there are any advantages over metal rails. It looks like a relatively bumpy ride...

[@trainfan32]

That was one of the coolest things i saw when i was thier

[@travelinginfantryveteran5439]

This is Freaking AMAZING COOL and beautiful and clean.

[@lohphat]

Seems overly complicated for a Gadgetbahn. Why not use simpler track tech like the Bombardier trams in Bordeaux to eliminate tire maintenance, catenary, and complicated crossings?

[@Aeyo]

Simple and consumer friendly. This is how they should be designed

[@ErebosSan]

The guiding system is similar to Sapporo subway. The level crossing is probably unique!

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Sapporo's subway center rail is for guidance only. The center rail on the Maui system is like Dallas's DFW Airport train, where it also gets it's power from the center rail.

[@ErebosSan]

​@@Luke_Starkenburg thanks for the explanation.

[@rajeshsen4219]

Nice video 📹 👍 👌

[@Mickcotton]

Why did they discontinue this train ?

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

What do you mean?

[@Mickcotton]

@@Luke_Starkenburg I mean I’m just here in OGG & we are back to Van Shuttles to our Rental Cars 😵‍💫👎😔

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

@Mickcotton I looks and saw they are working on it. It should be back open on maybe on February 3 or so. Sorry, these things happen unfortunately.

[@Mickcotton]

@@Luke_Starkenburg yes Aloha Nui 👍🌸

[@philippefoubert1956]

👍 jolie vidéo. Un aspect vintage pour une exploitation ultra moderne... Bravo aux concepteurs. La motorisation est alimentée par batteries ou prise de courant par le rail central ? Amitiés de Belgique 🤗

[@selena808cool]

i always wanted to ride this but i live there and there was no need to go to the car rentals anyway

[@ryy4n_]

im from oahu so i have to ride this when i get a rental car lol 😭

[@3dmw459]

The genius who designed this tram deserves a raise

[@user-negum]

That is the most unique rail transit crosswalk I have ever seen! Is that tram running automatically? What if someone is stuck in the middle of the crosswalk?

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

No, there are drivers. I think this system should be automatic because with sensors, it should be safe.

[@user-negum]

@@Luke_Starkenburg Thanks for your explanation , very cool !

[@naturallyherb]

Very cool!

[@elevatingthemidwest2379]

If only this thing had existed a decade ago, I would’ve wanted to ride it for hours and hours 🤣 Might get to see it next year but who knows Also in my opinion when the crossing gates close the bells start ringing too late..

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

I had fun watching and riding it! I didn’t think the bells were too late.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

This is very strange. Who made this train? And why couldn’t they use more normal tech?

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

They didn’t want to elevate the track.

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Awesome

[@archostest73]

Резвый "старичок"! Кто, вообще, такую прелесть придумал? С удовольствием ставлю лайк!..

[@Whycantichangemyhandle.]

How old is this

[@ryy4n_]

only a few years

[@cintula82]

this is cute AF

[@francoismartini5148]

You can't do more complicated !

[@ryy4n_]

yet unique

[@walterjoshuapannbacker1571]

Instead of onlyy at the airport, they should run all over the island to reduce car traffic.

[@ryy4n_]

that’d be horribly slow
