@@oldbusfan796 Hey! Nice to hear from you again. This is a very long comment, i hope you will read it! I tried answering everything in lots of details. There have been delivered 95 of the 100 Imperio trams that were ordered. It has been said that the last 5 vehicles should arrive in August. The Imperio trams also operate on line 7 now, and on the weekends they also run on line 47 and soon they will also be introduced on line 11, also on weekends. 10 Tatras are still active. But only a few of them (i’m guessing 2-3 pieces, i dont know exactly) operate on week days, only on line 47. Most of the Tatra trams that have operated on line 47 have been replaced by the blue Bucur V2A-T tram type. There are no more Tatra trams in service _on weekends_ . In weekends, all of the Tatras from line 47 have been replaced by Imperio trams. However, as i have said above, around 3 Tatras still operate on work days on line 47 because Imperios cannot be used on this route in work days because there aren’t enough trams. All Imperio units are used on work days on routes 1, 7, 10, 25, 32, 41, so there arent any more left for another route. However, on weekends, there isnt need for so many trams on the routes i mentioned earlier, so a few Imperios can also be used on line 47 to replace the Tatras. I have heard that the last 10 Tatras should all be retired by the end of the year. Yes. All of the 100 Solaris trolleybuses have been recieved by STB and most of them are already in operation. They have 20km of range, so they can also operate on some short distances without being connected to the cables above. Thanks to the possibility of operating these trolleybuses without cables for short distances, lines 61, 63, 90, 93 and 97 have been extended in other neighborhoods of the city where trolleybus infrastructure isnt present. And by extending these trolleybus routes, other bus routes that operated on similar routes have been suspended. For example, line 61 has fully replaced line 336 (they shared the same route except for the last stop); line 97 has been extended and replaced line 133, etc. It is very good, buses have been eliminated from a lot of important boulevards, some examples are Bd. Iuliu Maniu where in the past there used to be bus lines 136, 336 and trolleybus lines 61, 62 (so, to sum it up: 136, 336, 61, 62) -> now 136 has been replaced with 63 and 336 has been replaced with 61, so now, to sum it up, on Iuliu Maniu there are only trolleybus line 61, 62, 63. No bus lines. Another example is Calea Grivitei, where in the past bus route 105 and trolleybus routes 86 and 97 used to run (to sum it up: 105, 86, 97). Now 105 has been replaced with 93, so now we only have 86, 93, 97 on Calea Grivitei (no bus routes). etc. Solaris will also enter on line 73 and replace bus line 313 which shares the exact route but has a few more stops where there isnt trolleybus infrastructure. There is a problem though. Even if there are no bus routes anymore on these streets, the 100 Solaris trolleys arent enough for our city. And since they arent enough, and the old Irisbus Citelis and Ikarus trolleys dont have the 20km range, on trolley route 61 there are always at least *2 buses* in operation, and on trolley line 97, there are always at least *4 buses* in operation. However it isnt much of a problem since there are more trolleybuses than buses so the pollution has been reduced in huge amounts. A bus every 40-50 minutes isnt such of a problem. It is good that bus-only lines have been removed from these streets. A big plus is that on the weekends, STB has almost fully stopped using Ikaruses. Last weekend there were only 2 Ikaruses in operation on line 86, the rest of the trolleys on this line were Solarises. The rest of the routes only had Solaris and Irisbus Citelis with low floor and Air Conditioning. The ikarus trolleybuses have been reduced in big amounts since the Solaris trolleys have arrived. They have been fully removed from lines 61, 90, 93, 97 because they dont have the range. You can mostly see them on work days, on routes 76 (in Berceni Neighborhood) and 86 (Pajura, Bucurestii Noi neighborhood, etc, its a really long line). They can still be spotted on a lot of lines, just not 61, 63, 90, 93, 97 (because these routes have been extended in places where there isnt trolleybus infrastructure, and Ikarus doesnt have range without cables). For example, today i saw an Ikarus on line 62. So they do operate on other lines as well, not only on 76 and 86. But in a very small amount. A lot have been taken out of service. I guess only 30-40 are in traffic daily. I dont know exactly how many are in traffic daily but i can assure you that only 60 pieces are still drivable. Its a very long comment and i hope you will read all of it 😁. Remember: if you do come to visit, -> there are ALMOST NO IKARUSES ON WEEKENDS (only 2-3 on line 86). -> there are NO TATRAS ON WEEKENDS. Literally zero. None can be spotted. Only on work days on line 47. By the end of the year they will be retired.

How many Ikaruses were out at last weekend in Bucharest? Were there 2 Ikarus 415T-s, or even those 2 Pieces aren't out anymore? Anymay it sucks, that there are almost no Ikaruses at weekends, but it's also unterstandable. It was great to be there in 2022, when old vehichles where out at weekends too. When are Tatra T4 Trams retiring? Anymay it was a good idea to go to Vilnius this year, because yesterday there were 23 Skoda 32Tr trolleybus brought to service, so they are already operating. I'm going to Ostrava in early September, because my last semester will start at 9th of September. But yeah, I will be probably go rather to the Balkan-states than to Westeurope or even Vilnius. Being in Vilnius was great, I had the energy and it was interesting to go to the trolleybus depot with the trolleybus Line 3, which was just exiting service at afternoon, and then take Photos of the trolleys. It was funny too, because the guard came out too look, so then we gone to the other street and on the other end of the street there came the Bus Line 63 which took us to a beautiful cemetery, where in the bus stop there was a cofee automat too. It's just the people. that in those Balkan cities make better, they don't interrupt you, unlike the germans, because on the way from Vilnius, there many germans, and of course on the Train to Warsaw there was a young couple with a little girl. I wanted to talk about the german politics, but because they were there, we didn't said out party names, because we tried to be carefull, with them. But when I spoke about american politics, and the word ,,Hitler" was said from me, the woman had to repeat it. Then we looked at her, and she was stumbling something in english, but never apologised to me. It was so annoying! I mean you can be so carefull to germans that you want, it's never enough for them. And the other thing that was annoying to me, that the couple never cared about others. They never asked, where we or the other guy where, why we where or how was it been. No! They where just busy with themselves! But when I said something, the chick IMMIDIATLY must have said something! It's sick, that the germans must feel guilt for WW II., even those that even weren't alive at the time. When I was going from Warsaw to Budapest on a train and talked about that thing to my dad, the polish people didn't interrupt me, even by saying Hitler, so the ironic thing is that Poland is conservativ but they can move forward. People should care about their own bussiness, and don't fall in others private consersations, especially when normally don't care about the others! In Sofia and in Bucharest, Vilnius I could talk about whatever I wanted, and I didn't got in problem for that. And of course I love those countries were freedom of speech is working and the people have the brain to live at let it live. So I think, I will be on a circle on the Balkans rather than spend only one day in Germany. I see german politics all day, and honestly Germany now looks like more to a reality show than a country. I can tell you, the producers of this show make very good content!

@@oldbusfan796 Its nice to hear your stories. In other words, there still are 2-3 Ikaruses on route 86 on weekends. For some reason they dont use all Irisbus Citelis trolleys in weekends and because of that they have to take out these few Ikaruses. However this might be a temporary measure, the main reason for using less Ikaruses on weekends is because they dont have AC, so they take out all Solarises and use them on as many lines as possible. But when the high temperatures will be over, Ikaruses could start to be more present on weekends again. But we dont know yet. 10 Tatras still in operation, on line 47, and if you are very lucky you can catch one on 25 as well, but very rarely. Like, extremely rarely. Maybe once a month. When there is a Tatra on 25 it is usually replacing an Imperio. But as i said, super rare, almost impossible to see one on 25 anymore. It is said that Tatras will be retired by the end of the year. Ikaruses however will live for a few more years. This has been confirmed because recently the workshop from Lizeanu has started repairing and repainting them again in the green scheme. Last year it was said that thanks to the arrival of the Solarises, there was no need to repair and repaint Ikaruses anymore and that all Ikaruses were to be retired. However, as i said, 4 Ikarus trolleys are at the moment in the process of being fully repaired and repainted to join back the streets of Bucharest. So this confirms that we will still have these old trolleys in operation for a few more years.

So they plan to extend the subway line to Berceni Commune and this is like, the first station of this project. Between Bucharest and Berceni Commune there isnt much, almost no houses or buildings. But Berceni Commune is populated, and a lot of people from there come in Bucharest with the car daily, and the road that connects these two is very busy. So a direct subway would be helpful. However its only one station so far and as you said, theres nothing around it. In my opinion its also a big waste of money, a surface station should only be a platform, a roof, and the two rails. But here they’ve literally built a huge building.

this guy is really everywhere hating on o405 and o345

Multumesc. La multi ani!

La multi ani! Ma bucur ca ti a placut!

Happy New Year
