World’s First Bus-Train Hybrid? 🚂 🚌 Riding a Dual-Mode Vehicle!

[@mikey_d_00]

I really love these videos. One of my favorite channels on KZbin! Right now I am sick in bed and I am watching these videos for comfort.

[@experience_japan]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad my videos can bring you comfort. Take care and get well soon!

Get well soon ❤

Northern Canada has issues with the rail service being discontinued. While there's still the rail tracks, regular vehicles can't use it since they don't have the wheels for the rails. Maybe a bus similar to this can travel on those existing rails for hundreds of kilometers with fuel stations in between to ensure that it has fuel to continue travel. Obviously it would need several buses in different types like for passengers, cargo, maintenance, etc. But the investment is worth it if resuming regular rail service is too expensive.

[@theempirestrikesback2939]

A two way railbus is not a new invention neither a japanese one. In the 1950s Deutsche Bundesbahn already operated a Schienen- Strassen Bus.

We have this in Los Angeles, known as the Orange Line. It's a train/bus hybrid line, has its own dedicated pathway, mainly operates in San Fernando Valley. Takes you from North Hollywood all the way to Chatsworth for $1.75 lol. We've had it for many years now.

[@donnabursey1457]

I had to laugh when you immediately went to see if the wooden steering wheel moved - it was exactly what I was thinking about! 😂 Very interesting video, as always. My October cruise around Japan is stopping at many of the places I know from watching your videos over the last few years. I'll look through prior videos to see where they match! Thank you. Until next time - be well and happy!

[@experience_japan]

That's awesome! I'm glad my videos have been helpful for your trip planning. Enjoy Japan!

[@BlueBlazingKid]

I wished my country have those! most passengers in the Philippines would have a huge benefit of getting hybrid then. Merry christmas whoever you are

Absolutely! It would be great if the Philippines could have something like this. Merry Christmas!

German rail workers use simlar trucks but with 4 train wheels. Never saw this for public transportation. Smart and unique.

[@dermonarch5814]

There was an attempt using Streetbuses on Railroads. In the 1950 ´s. Was for at least 15 Jears in Service. Look for Schienen-Straßen-Omnibus.

[@Field_Marshal_Emu]

Was really wondering about the transition time from road to rail when I first started the video. Was imaging a lot of messing around and something in the order of at least ten minutes. 15 seconds, though, is fantastic. Hardly even a delay at all. You'd spend more time at a red traffic light. What a fantastic idea, and implemented so well! Also, a very merry Christmas to you and all the best for the new year!

[@jaehaspels9607]

Very cool. The beach looked so beautiful and clean. it's hard to find that, here in The USA. People here are slobs and leave their trash everywhere. Merry Christmas!

The Great Western railway in the UK had road-rail buses in the 1930s . Running on our 4ft 8 1/2insh tracks, they were a bit more stable than on 3ft 6insh tracks.

[@me_is_mrhuman2011]

Ofc its in japan

[@blueite]

While looking unique and interesting, it's far from efficiency. Only in order to justify incomplete railway operation they pay a multiple of cost for vehicle and staffing. (Also takes more time for conversion and station access as you see in the movie) Buses are enough there imo.

[@Rasticestmoi]

It exists in Bolivia, but only for rails

[@stephandrube8658]

Gab es eine ähnliche Bus//Zug-Kombination nicht bereits in den 50er Jahren in Deutschland? Mir geistert ein Bild im Kopf herum, wo rote Bahnbusse sich ähnlich auf zwei Systemen fortbewegten

[@CounterStriker013009]

Why those Hybrid Bus color is just like Hong Kong taxi color XD

[@absolutecynic]

Here's me thinking this would be merely something like the O-Bahn in Australia, and then they come up with an actual Transformer. 😂 This is genius. Considering how much freight traffic runs on both tracks and roads, they should build semi trucks like this.🫠

[@ottopartz1]

They do build some heavy duty trucks like this to pull railcars on inclines that a locomotive can't get enough traction on. They are only used on a few small spurs and I've also seen one that moves cars around an industrial area.
