Interesting traction motor sounds...

[@BritishAPT]

They are the same ones like s70s (both made by Siemens) if you have heard an s70

[@maxheadrum1102]

And they're already falling apart

[@richiegarcia2819]

This sounds amazing

[@TheCloakedTiger]

New cars are super nice to ride! Got a chance to ride them a few weeks ago!

[@Tony_515]

Awesome video, DJ! That is one high-pitched traction motor sound right there... lol

[@matthewosman412]

Wow that looks so cool it’s the future

[@RickyLeong]

Come to Calgary and check out our version of this LRV! I think San Francisco and Calgary are the only two places in North America to operate the S200.

[@lol-ug2ry]

Nice sound!

[@ConfusedNyan]

These LRVs are built in the Siemens Mobility plant about a half-hour's drive from where I live.

[@Chernobog54]

The ac traction motor sounds like an formula e car or a handle robot

[@meetmeinva]

LA needs to replace the Orange Bus line with something like this

[@qjtvaddict]

Cut transit regulation unless it’s to unify the separate systems together

[@thetrainguy400]

What is the south Brooklyn railway?

[@skyforce2132]

TheSpongebobFlow it’s the railway for cargo which comes from New Jersey and delivers it to the 65 st rail yard and the railway goes across 1st ave all the way to Coney Island from both bounds of the railway I live very close it

[@joet5986]

@@skyforce2132 it doesn't come from NJ

Nice dude

[@MrTanker2012]

Plz!!!!!!! Septa WE NEEEEED THISSSSSSS

[@RRansomSmith]

Won't fit in the tunnel

[@lohphat]

I moved to SF in 1998 just was SF Muni were deploying the awful Breda cars to replace the ageing Boeing rolling stock. I left SF for NYC in 2015 and missed the rollout of the Siemens cars. **sigh**

[@matthewosman412]

I have a question does anyone drive or is it automatic

[@gandalf7292]

Of course it’s manually operated 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@matthewosman412]

Ah non Monsieur je suis un Mirage-2000 ok sorry I asked ok I don’t know if it’s manually operated or not jeez don’t have a cow

[@gandalf7292]

Osman Matthew You’re stupid for asking that it’s dangerous to operate a tramway automatically on the streets but only on subways...

[@transitvideosbayarea]

Auto grade 2 in the tunnels, manual on the streets. Fun fact: Muni was the first light rail system to have any auto at all in North America.

[@michaelboccino5251]

It's Auto When it Goes Underground ' Driver Just Needs to Close Doors '

[@WakkoKakko]

I was on one of those late in June, taking the J from Balboa to downtown. Seemed pretty neat and all, only for it to conk out at Mission Park. Not cool.

[@LSM_Lover]

They look the same? Any noticeable differences than the old ones and the S300’s?

[@transitvideosbayarea]

The old Breda's look really different.

[@transitvideosbayarea]

The Bredas have sides that stick out, and one of the end doors are double doors, the new S200's end doors are both single doors, flat sides, have flat bench seats, and accelerate much faster.

[@nuyorican1985]

One of the next things for me to do in San Francisco is to get aboard this light rail. Looks really nice. And super clean compared to other cities like MBTA in Boston and MTA in NYC my hometown...

[@CaalamusTube]

Ride that last LIne he showed, 'cept in the opposite direction. It's the N Judah, or something like that. It goes to the Ocean :]

[@nuyorican1985]

@@CaalamusTube thanks I will do that....

[@transitvideosbayarea]

@Caalamus Prove me wrong, but I'm 99.99% the J Church doesn't not go near the ocean. The L Taraval or N Judah do though.

[@nuyorican1985]

@@transitvideosbayarea I will have to see because I've only been to San Francisco 2xs and I've never ridden the light rail. Everywhere I needed to go I took the BART. But I plan on ridding the light rail when I go back in a few weeks...

[@transitvideosbayarea]

@@nuyorican1985 Oh. Hope you have a good time. Travel Tips for you: 1) Try to use OAK or SJC instead of SFO (less delays) 2) The ferry to Oakland is a great experience 3) Jack London Sq is a good place to go 4) Use/ get a Clipper Card for cheaper BART/ Muni fares. 5) Half of Lake Merrit is a nice place. 6) Taking a Transbay AC Transit bus into SF from Oakland gets you amazing views over the Bay and SF from the Bay Bridge. 7) Stonestown Galleria is a nice shopping center to stop by if you're in the area.

[@skyforce2132]

It’s like the light rail in New Jersey

[@dendidong]

Yeah it's a light rail

[@michaelboccino5251]

It's the No Where Juda '😀

[@RRansomSmith]

Huh?

[@lohphat]

Slick Flair Muni has notoriously unpredictable service. You wait 20 min then 2 train sets arrive. It’s as has as the busses.

[@davidpomeroy7594]

Uncomfortable seats, it’s an overall strange experience

[@davidlang1125]

These cars are built at the Siemens plant in Sacramento and yet Sacramento has the most decrepit light rail cars. What a cruel joke to play on our hapless transit riders. So tantalizingly close, yet so far away. The SacRT cars are ancient, noisy, filthy, dimly lit, uncomfortable, not ADA compliant, and expensive. And the two lines (a third line travels a couple of miles from nowhere to nowhere) don’t really have many places you’d want to go to. They serve a limited population as most stations are located in bedroom communities. There’s little reason to use it. SacRT is counting on its riders to continue to put up with its shabby, expensive service without complaint or awareness that these state-of-the-art Siemens LRV4’s are being built right in their community.

[@FlareBlitz798]

Ooooo

Шумные они какие-то.

They're German and they were built in the Siemens factory in Sacramento, the California capital.
