It's nice to see PCC cars still running in revenue service! Single enders,double enders,and Articulateds all running in a beautiful cityscape! Czar Peter should be proud of how well his crown jewel has held up throughout the centuries! Thank you for a colorful,and interesting,informative video!! Thanks again for your time and effort 👍🙏👏🙂😊🙌👍🙏👏
@@mihan2d I would recommend the PCC books put out by Interurbans[now Pentrex],as they explain that two major car builders in old Soviet Union,had licenses to build PCC'S,one was Tatra,and the other was in Russia proper,( and I apologize,as I am working from memory,without access to my library)! Yes,by definition,they were/are PCC'S,and thankfully still running! Note,there were some PCC'S in Egypt,that looked anything else but,a conventional car! And also,being used in Tampa,replica Birney cars,having PCC trucks and controllers[that makes them PCC'S! The carbody came under a different set of patents,and don't forget the Rapid Transit models,as there were several body types,including Articulated cars! See Chicago CRT,and CTA,also Cleveland,for openers! Sorry for the long winded approach,but it's a complex subject! Thank you for your time and attention 🙏🙂😊☺😘!
@@roberthuron9160 Yes, I know there were licenced PCCs in USSR but I'm telling you, *there is not a single PCC-derived car on this video* because all the newer cars are completely their own semi-LF designs and this old historic one with fancy lights on the front (LM-33 replica) is just an early 2000s LM-99A car converted to look like an old Soviet tram. The looks can be deceiving! :)
The city of St. Petersburg is an architectural gem. GORGEOUS!!! Every district or zone shown of the city is a beaut to itself. And yes, love the trans. A very well planned combination of subway metro lines, surface trans lines, city buses, and microbuses....and even river ferries!!!!. Love it.
there is not a single really new tram in the video, although there are already many new trams in the city. Витязь, Витязь-м, Богатырь, Богатырь-м, ктм-31, Alstom citadis 301 cis, stadler metelitsa (runs on a private tram system "Чижик")
The system is actually expanding again, one example is the Chizhik fast tram route and also line 3 reopened through the city center. The Wikipedia page needs to be updated! There are more extensions being built and planned.
They're just modernized with some new equipment to give them extra few years in operation. St. Petersburg doesn't upgrade its trams nearly as fast as Moscow or even cities like Krasnodar
Watching this video the most striking thing is neither the age of the trams, nor the fact that most of the track is on (very) busy streets. Rather it is that the trams (mostly 4-axle) are very small compared to those in most other parts of Europe.
@@Fan652w I love Tim's videos, pretty comprehensive (though I wish he included a bit more info) but when it comes to Russian transit his preferences are... odd. As if he avoids showing some vehicles in favor of others. And also it really starts to seem to me like he ditched a visit to Moscow altogether, despite Moscow transportation had changed like nothing you can ever even imagine since his last visit and there's just so much new things, heck even THREE completely new transport systems!!! I hope I'm wrong though :)

These aren't PCC lol. The only similarity here is that they have 4 axles, but PCC is not the only type where it was introduced.

Great array of old and new trams!! 👍👍😄😄
В России так во всех городах, но старых почти всегда больше
The city is wonderful! Trams new and old are really cool. Congratulations from Brazil!
Those old Trams will run for another thousand years!

Excellent capture my friend 👏👏👏😉
St pete is one of my fav cities its like the best
great to see both old & new trams on those historic streets
I'll be honest, there is a good diversity of trams but no crowd relief given the single coach.
Nice trams. Even with EURO 2020 livery
Nice video, as Petersburg is a lovely metropolitan city!
The system is actually expanding again, one example is the Chizhik fast tram route and also line 3 reopened through the city center. The Wikipedia page needs to be updated! There are more extensions being built and planned.
Are there any signals when the trams shoot out into traffic like at 0:20? That guy almost crashed into him
Обзор хороший, но неполный. Нет Витязей - маршрут 100, нет Штадлеров-Чижиков, нет Альстома.
Витязи на 60 маршруте еще и в 7 парке появились, а еще богатыри есть на 23 маршруте и не только
Are some of the articulated trams rebuilt with a new body on old bogies?

He didn't show any large trams, there's plenty of these LOL. Probably thought they are 'boring' and excluded them altogether 😂😂
@@mihan2d Very many thanks for this information!

there are no modern trams in the video, which are in the city. Витязь, витязь-м long 27м, ктм-31 long 28м, stadler metelitsa 34m
