The LightRail in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2022 (VLT Carioca) - (Ground Level Powered!)

[@METROLINHA1]

finally came to Brazil, welcome

[@nixcails]

I liked this network my only bugbear was it wasn't intergrated with the Giro card. Finally got a Rio card and travelled round on the VLT, SuperVia Trem Urbano, BRT, Barcas and the Rio bus network. I had better weather when I was there I'm January.

[@Fenix-MU]

Truly a amazing system! Sadly I never had the chance to ride it, only the Santos light rail

[@SkipperBx15]

These trains are very similar to the Citadis 302s used on the Jerusalem light rail. They sound exactly identical!

[@nixcails]

Pretty standard Citadis trams. Several systems in France use them and the Nottingham system has some too.

[@brianb8516]

We have Citadis 305s in Sydney, Australia

[@marciomesquita1976]

Build this tramway was a Challenge to Alstom, because it's enterelly wireless. The mayor didn't want to scrap the historic downtown district, specially beteween São Bento and Santos Dumont Airport stops. At final, it's prove to be a big success for Alstom

Nice light rail system!! Ground level power. Thanks Tim for sharing.😀💚💚

[@alancutler6453]

Nice to see non-tourist spots in RIo. Thanks.

[@NZVideoMaker]

Nicely filmed thanks.

[@amfm889]

Fascinating- first I've heard of ground-level power supply (just read the Wiki entry).

[@metropolitantransit7276]

Nice light rail system in Rio. The rolling stock seems similar to the Tramway Ile-de-France.

[@caravaggio31]

Probably are the same, these light trains are French.

[@sietesamurais]

Going to Rio next month and it looks like I can use the VLT for some of my rides

[@DeMello96]

Awesome video! Do you have plans on making a video riding São Paulo Metro and Porto Alegre's Aeromóvel? Thx!

[@timosha21]

Stay tuned...

[@Waltervazquez599]

Fantastic video my friend like and Greetings

[@brianb8516]

Mobile advertising billboards that carry passengers as a sideline. We have the same in Sydney.

[@tigerclaw646]

Cool trams!

[@jlagu]

Great video

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

I can see that pooling of rain water on parts of the Ground Level Power Supply rail might be a problem -- that thing better be really waterproof. Good thing Rio de Janeiro doesn't get snow and the accompanying road salt.

[@alexandershkinev8572]

Thanks for the video. Are there all light rail tracks 3rd railed?

[@sjokomelk]

The bell button get some really heavy use here. Never heard a tram having to use the bell this much before. Are the pedestrians that oblivious to the tram?

[@Iktius]

Our tram will expand from Rodoviária to the newly build Terminal Gentileza. Then there are plans to São Cristóvão and South Zone.

[@trenomanis]

Είναι τα ίδια οχήματα (2ης παραλαβής) που αγόρασε η Τραμ Α.Ε. για το τραμ της Αθήνας.

[@akoska]

Á! Eu amo os tramvías! Phú! Pardao, eu nao falo portugués porfavor! I didn't know Brazil also has tramline at all!

[@marcusvramalho2361]

Brazil manufactures planes, satellites, rockets, ships, submarines, in short, is it one of the greatest economic powers in the world, and will it not have a tramline in its cities? a little more reading, please.

[@geovanne3602]

Rio has trams since 1859

[@philthai99]

Very nice.

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Very nice, like .

[@MIGMobilidadeUltraNightBear]

[@natachadealvezofficial]

One day, May I go to Brazil in JESUS name 🔥

[@mayakstudios7292]

This is literally a long version of the Russian 71-639 tram😂😮

[@Techo410]

These sound similar to the tram in Dubaj

[@izakymom]
