Scenic & Record-Breaking | Budapest Tram (Villamosok Budapesten) 🇭🇺🚃| Urban Transport #25

Budapest's tram system has a lot to love. From scenic spots to record-breaking long trams (Even the LONGEST Tram in The World !! (CAF Urbos 3)) and crazy passenger statistics, making Budapest likely the busiest tram system in the world too. Enjoy the video about this amazing system and have a laugh my best try to pronounce Hungarian words and names :D
This video is the 25th episode of the series Urban Transport, with full-on descriptions of various urban public transport networks (mostly in Europe).

Let me know what you think about Budapest’s Tram System below!😁

[@charlieonholiday]

When I was in Budapest I was absolutely astounded by the network. It’s expansive and reliable!

[@realdronthego]

It is really good indeed! 😁

[@vectronik]

I had an instant reaction when seeing the notification about this video comeing out😂 glad to see it! I was in budapes 2 years ago, and idk why, didn't really dive into the lines and hostory, i am syrprised how complicated and diverse it is! Wow! ❤

[@realdronthego]

Thank you!!😁

I love the trams of Budapest. I think they’re one of the best in Europe. There are as you mentioned extensions planned, however they haven’t been fully realized yet. Most significantly are extensions to line 1 from Bécsi út/Vörösvári út onward further into the suburbs of Óbuda. The most recent expansion was the extension of the lines along the Duna from Batthyány tér towards bécsi út/Vörösvári út. The Cog-wheel railway has been planned to be extended to Széll Kálmán tér and the other direction to Normafa, a big park, however this would require new rolling stock which has proven difficult to acquire. The route suffers from low ridership, hence the planned extension. However, its meet existence is threatened and relays on said new rolling stock.

Сјајно то изгледа.Поздрав из Србије и града Београда.❤

[@daniellango3668]

It is a really well working system!

[@realdronthego]

True! 😁

[@SuperKurvaszad]

Really appreciate the effort you put in to your pronunciation.

[@realdronthego]

Thank you very much!

[@d.i.z.04]

I was looking forward to this video so much. It's one my most favourite tram systems

[@realdronthego]

Great to hear! I hope you liked it!

[@d.i.z.04]

@@realdronthego sure did!

[@Aviationvlad]

Great video! I like Budapest’s approach to actually considering trams as a major mode of transportation, which results in impressive ridership numbers. 🙂

[@realdronthego]

Thank you! Yes it’s great!😁

[@DD-xg3xs]

Let's goooooooo it's finally here!!! I haven't even watched video yet, but as soon as I saw that it's finally time for the trams of Budapest, I had to come and see this, I can't wait to watch the video!

[@realdronthego]

Thank you! I saved it for my pre-Christmas release 😉 I hope you will enjoy it!

[@strassenbahnfilmguy9306]

I've been to this beautiful city twice .. and the Ganz Trams have become one of my favorites .

[@realdronthego]

It is awesome! 😁

[@intervrt]

I like the addition of fun facts about certain lines in between listing the network routes, also respect the dedication to trying to pronounce the names right, gotta be challenging :D Edit: also patiently waiting for a Helsinki video, especially now that Joker Light Rail is in operation :)

[@realdronthego]

Thank you! Helsinki will come along somewhere in the summer of next year, as it will have more daylight and better weather in the spring and summer😁

[@viktoruzunov690]

Can you do a video about Sofia tram system? We have very interesting tram system

[@realdronthego]

It is one of the most requested, and I am trying to fit it in for 2024 😁

[@simunpusec1078]

I like that it has two tram gauges

[@viktoruzunov690]

@@simunpusec1078 Yeah!

[@vectronik]

If you will do/did sime footage from Berlin, did you / will you cover also the Strausberg, wolterdorf and Schöneiche tram networks?

[@realdronthego]

I was very close to include one of these, but a very rainy day came along. But one day I’ll try to go back. Germany is packed with tram systems anyway 😁

[@vectronik]

@@realdronthego yeah that's right, it's a shame you didn't make it. Which one have you mentioned?

[@realdronthego]

I did not make a choice between them then

[@simunpusec1078]

osijek is prety close to Budapest, osijek tram?

[@realdronthego]

I have not been in Croatia this year. Maybe I’ll revisit the Balkan next year, but I still have to make a planning 😁 Are all lines in Osijek open again? I heard there was a massive overhaul.

[@simunpusec1078]

@@realdronthego i live in vinkovci but i think that they are open, also belgrade and sarajevo have interesting trams
