Hi there! Getting ever closer to the goal of hitting 1000 subscribers. It would really help me if you subscribe to my channel, ensuring I can keep making videos like these for years to come :)
Latvia is not about quantity, it's about quality. ;) Liepāja is the third largest city in Latvia and is considered a large city with all the things that you would find in a major city like a theatre, concert hall (a very large and modern building), some 20 or so churches and quite a bit of Art Nouveau architecture. Also one of world's longest white sand beaches and historical fortresses and buildings of the former secret military town of Karosta, now in Northern Liepāja. So... Don't be confused by the population.
@@martinskesteris8664 I'm Estonian, I'm not getting confused by population. I don't quite understand the point of bragging about your city as if it's some sort of gotcha moment when I'm literally already of the opinion that it's a nice city
@@intervrt well if you're Estonian then you should have known that a big city does not have to be with millions of inhabitants to function as a major centre in its country just like Tartu has almost everything if not more than Tallinn. It's just that "everything is so small bla bla" kind of syndrome. No bragging, just saying.
@@martinskesteris8664 I'm saying you're arguing against a point I didn't make. It's generally positive for a city to grow its population, among other benefits it can extend it's transit infrastructure better.
no way they have more tram systems than just in riga... I have always thought latvians don't have more trams.... like us, estonian. There is something that latvians are better in. We really need the Tartu tram in Estonia. If 68k can have a tram, 100k should defenetly have it:/
Latvia has 3 tram systems indeed. Rather impressive. All of them get or got a complete overhaul. Liepāja hits it out of the park with high frequencies and a fully low-floor tram fleet. Meanwhile Lithuania has 0 tram systems😅
There's even such an obvious general route to put in Tartu, from Lõunakeskus to the centre to Annelinn, seems quite easy. At least Tartu has been putting a lot of effort into cycling, I guess
@@realdronthego true! New Koncar trams are expected to be made by 2025. That's why our mayor has bought some 20-30 trams from Augsburg as temporary switch, to at least modernise lines 1, 9 and 13 which run on old Tatra trams.
@@realdronthegoUnfortunately no one understands why the company isn't realžy interested in exporting them more. New modern trams are coming so maybe they'll try with them
Actually the line goes through the city and it is really well designed. I wish it was lengthened Northu to Celmu iela and further to Kalpaka bridge but it is just me :)
Nicely filmed video. Good to see a system which links places which are actually useful and the trams, with their slightly retro look, are the business. Just subscribed and looking forward to next edition.
Hi from Liepaja! loved the video, the new trams are really nice and convenient indeed, only negative is that the tram lines don't go through the whole citym but that could change in the future possibly :)
Well, there are still people living there. Tourists will visit as well. It is better to keep it going, than removing and later rebuilding if it will be needed again..
Я там прожила почти 30 лет, у людей была работа-Лиепаяс металлургс, молокозавод, мясокомбинат, линолеумный завод, кожевенный и далее по списку.нет работы-нет людей.Очень жаль...хутора в Латвии тоже заброшены, особенно в Латгалии...а так...я очень люблю Лиепаю очень!@@realdronthego
Привет совкодрочер! Да многие уехали в Европу (благо есть такая возможность), но нужно учесть, что в совковые времена в городе было дофига оккупационных военных + их семьи. Потом им дали под жопу ногой. И плюс за этот счет население города уменьшилось. А перспективы у города, думаю есть. Сам собираюсь туда на пмж.
Very funny to hear you say in one breath “freeing itself from the shackles of the USSR” and the going on to talk about the decline in population, all factories closed now, surprise surprise.

Congratulations on surpassing the 1,000 level. James.
Končar !!!.👍👍

Looks really nice, I hope this town can start growing again because it looks like they're doing things right
It would be great if it pays off!

I was in Tartu, and Riga, and Liepaja and in Tallinn at the same time,and i agree very much with your conclution
Latvia has three tram systems. There is another one in Daugavpils

200k soon!
It's very nice seeing trams from my city in another city. Greetings from Zagreb!
It would be great if they manage to export to more places (especially with the next generation).

I just love the kinda retro look of the new streetcars, they really fit in Liepāja.
Great video !!!! Thanks for sharing it. I love your channel logo within the channel name. Very nice and informative presentation. James.
Thank you very much!
New trams look amazing!
Yeah they are great for a town like this!
Liepāja izgriež pogas bagātai Rīgai.
Those trams are from my beautiful city Zagreb
You should export them more!😁
@@realdronthegoUnfortunately no one understands why the company isn't realžy interested in exporting them more. New modern trams are coming so maybe they'll try with them
@@thefm5660It’s not the company who isn’t interested in exporting them, no one wants to buy those trams, there’s way better producers like Stadler…

Great video on what is a very small network. By the way, loved the intro music!
Thank you! 😁

А кого возит этот трамвай???Город пустой, люди уехали все в Европу.В советское время населением было 120 тыс...а сейчас???
