First class driving experience. I have never been in swiss, but this is like I am travelling. thanks for the experience.......
Wow, massive tour of Bern! The tram system is really extensive, more so than I thought; I was there last year and only saw a small part of it. Nice to see so much of the system and virtually the entire city. Thanks for this "documentary" of the tram system & the city. The steam tram is really nice to see!
+Peter M Hi Peter, this is part 1 of 3 showing a drivers eye view. These should be followed by another video taking a closer look at the steam and electric trams we traveled on. Hopefully I should post them in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. I’m from TAIWAN , an island nearby China,. I had been to Switzerland in 1995. Your video is very clear and great quality. Tks for sharing.
Hi, thank you for your comment, it's nice to hear from Taiwan, I've visited China, but I've not been to Taiwan yet. I hope you have good memories from your trip to Switzerland in 1995.
Thoroughly enjoyed that! Have to say I think Bern might be "haunted", so many people and cars vanishing and appearing out of nowhere! LOL(fade transition at work). Music was fine by the way, added to the trip! Cheers!
Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it. People and cars falling victim to a video edit, sounds like science fiction, but it happens all the time ... well it does in my videos.
Very interesting tour, lovely trip through the old town part. What a lovely little tram, wouldn't you like to have that at home. The music's quite amusing too.
+AndreiTupolev Hi Andrei, the old town is a beautiful, this video shows how much trams have grown over the years, they are almost trains now. The one we were travelling on would fit nicely in the garden as a summer house, but I'd never get one of the new ones in my garden, they are not likely to finish their days as garden sheds.
Wow, going through the crowded market starting at about 33:00 was quite something. A few people not paying too much attention. :D And the artwork at the end - what a nice surprise.
Crossing the tracks in a busy street shared with trams is a bit scary, especially for someone like myself who is not used to trams running through city streets. The old tram shed is not used for storing trams anymore, both the yard and sheds contain an interesting collection of artwork.
I can imagine. Sort of like my almost getting myself run down in England because I was not used to watching for traffic in the opposite lanes. From reading the comments, I understand now why the music added to your videos. Yes, no separation from your camera's audio and the passengers. The music is sort of jaunty, actually. Now I'm starting the part 2 video and greatly looking forward to these next two parts of the journey.
I had a similar experience in France after catching a Eurostar train from London to Paris, I forgot I was in another country where cars drive on the opposite side of the road. Conversations picked up by the camera are always a problem, I would not like a personal conversation broadcast to world, so I assume other people feel the same way. There is also the added complication of not being able to make a judgement because I don't understand the language. I'm glad you liked the video and hope you find the next installment enjoyable to watch.
Thank you one and all for decrying the accompanying music. Many of other driver's-viewpoint films from around the world will have microphones on the outside of vehicles to record natural sounds from the various streets. The outstanding pictures here would have been much better presented if only.....!
I love trams including the ones at Blackpool also all rail travel too. I think it is great to see so many interesting colour full buildings In Bern but what I would like to know is what is the music called at 21.05 thank you.
Hi, Bern is a wonderful place to see and travel on a variety of trains and trams, it is also home to some beautiful old buildings. The music is from SmartSound and the track is "Unplugged - Places I've Been - Pure". The music used in this video is listed in the credits at the end.
I popped back to your channel to re-watch this and besides enjoying the virtual journey, I was struck by two thoughts. One was how interesting it is that the Swiss are using patterns of lights as their tram traffic signals while Australia is still using the standard colours but masked to the letter T for tram. The other thought was how little language skill you need in order to translate some things, as I spotted "Cine Rex" in the video and almost automatically translated it to "King Cinema" :)
I hadn't given much thought to the lights, until I studied the video after reading your comment. The Swiss system also allows the pattern of lights to act a route indicator. Whilst the Australian system is simple, using standard components, it can be confusing at junctions where there might be traffic lights with "arrows" imposed on them for road vehicles and "T" for trams. I prefer the use of white lights for trams, because the distinction is immediately obvious. I find it strange to see so many signs in English throughout the world, I guess some words are universally recognized, someone else commented that "Stop" signs at road junctions in Europe use the word "Stop" not the country language. In Shanghai, there were almost as many signs in English as in Chinese. The French and English languages share a lot of common words and expressions such as cafe, com ci com sa, c'est la vie, Aqua and Voyage. As someone who speaks English, I am grateful that it is a kind of universal language recognized around the world.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I believe that if the world lasts long enough, English will one day be a truly world-wide language which everyone can speak, although I also believe it will be unrecognisable to us by then, just as Old English is now almost unrecognisable as English to us today. Others have told me that "stop" in Russian is actually a fairly long phrase, so they use the phonetic spelling of the English "stop" on their stop signs (it looks like "cton" to us, but the letters phonetically form the sound of "stop"). Australian tram traffic lights generally have white instead of green, to distinguish them from other traffic lights. There is either a white T for "any/default direction" or a white arrow for the permitted direction. They are also generally noticably smaller than other traffic lights, which makes sense because they're usually mounted close next to where the driver's cabin would be situated. But the Swiss system is certainly more compact.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 I agree that it is likely that the world will one day have a universal language base around today's English, incorporating new words from around the globe, I also think spellings will be simplified as already happens in the USA. I have re-watched the last video I shot from a Melbourne tram confirming your description of Australian tram traffic lights. Take care. Tim.
Wonderful tram journey,Love the music,How many km is the network,We had a tram network in sydney one of the biggest in the world the state government shut it down in 1959 virtually over night i was in my early teen's now in 2018 there starting to rebuild the the network,I loved riding the trams,Check out the old network on wiki,Thanks again tim for another wonderful vid now for part's 2&3 cheer's bob from sunny "OZ".
Vielen Dank, wenn ich in der Schweiz gelebt hätte, wäre ich stolz darauf, so einen wunderbaren Ort nach Hause zu nennen - Thank you, If I lived in Switzerland, I would be proud to call such a wonderful place "home".
I read the video description and I love the tram video (I like trams much more than cars), but had you added a trance or a progressive house music track, I would be movin' to the beat while watching the video at the same time lol.
Hey that's a good idea, I found one of sons old house music CD's and left it playing whilst watching the video and sure enough i found myself swaying to the beat as though I was riding the tram ;-)
Yes, and this is what I want to hear in your next tram video - a house track playing, something like "The Whistle Song" by Frankie Knuckles, "We Found Love" by Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna, or "Can You Feel It" by Mr. Fingers (I'm from Chicago and we have a lot of classic house music here, so those are just ideas).
I looked to see if there is any Royalty Free House Music available and discovered this link - th-cam.com/video/-OCzjvRBiIE/w-d-xo.html To get an idea of what it might sound like, right click on the link below and and select "copy link address" open the link above and turn the sound up. Open another tab at the top of the screen and paste this link (the one you have just copied) - th-cam.com/video/AJsXNW9Wq6Q/w-d-xo.html and play the tram video with the sound turned down - Hey Presto - trams rocking to house music (basically you have You Tube open twice, using one for sound and the other for the pictures) Let me know what you think?
yes,now we are watsching switherland railways series.Very good ,amazing pictures. thanks ,so match....sorry from my bad english. All evning i will take some beer and watch yours yourneys.
Great Video. Both Quality and content. However the music really complimented the program. Does anyone know the name of the jazz piece and the guitar piece up to the point where they turned around and headed back.
Some switch automatically when they receive a signal from the tram, others can be changed manually. Copied from this article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_switch The switch points of tram lines are often operated remotely by the driver. The traditional solution for control is whether the car draws power or not when passing under a special short segment of the overhead wire. The presence or absence of power draw is detected by special circuitry, which activates or deactivates the switch points. This arrangement requires the tram car to coast unpowered through the switch (running on momentum) when making certain moves. The next system uses a powerful electromagnet in the tram and a reed relay inlaid between the tracks to initiate the blade turning mechanism. The driver has a separate switch to control the magnet, thus switching is no longer dependent on power draw of the tram simplifying the procedure somewhat. Turning the switchblades always requires a magnetic field on the relay and its polarity dictates the direction. No magnetic field when passing the relay means retain the blades in whatever the position they were. Alternatively, more recently, radio telemetry or some other form of control signaling is used.
+toodogs23 Hi, thanks for the comment. This video was taken on a busy Saturday afternoon, as you can see the public transport system works well, hence not so many cars. Public transport in Switzerland is inexpensive and easy to use.
+Stephen Dey Hi, I am pleased you enjoyed the video, sorry about the music, but the camera picked up a conversation between the driver and our tour leader, they were talking German and my knowledge of the language was not good enough to know whether or not leaving their personal conversation in would cause offence or embarrassment. Better safe than sorry.
What does the graffiti demarcate everything is neat and tidy then it starts at 12:18, the tram reverses at 18:00 and all graffiti stops at 27:30? I saw that glimpse of a steam tram that was neat.
Graffiti is rare in Switzerland, but I believe it is allowed in some areas provided the artists abide by certain rules. If someone reading this knows the answer, please share it with us. That steam tram is very popular, with tour groups who can hire it for a trip around the extensive Bern tram system.
Wonderful - I actually located a picture of the tram itself in Flickr. You don't have the beginning and ending points of this ride, or the lines rode in this video, do you? Dog
+Dana Mack Hi Dana, I tried Google Earth to see if I could include some information, but I was going to leave myself wide open to mistakes, so opted for minimum information. At times our tram catches up with service trams showing the route number they are operating, most of this video covers route 9. Here is a link to a map showing the routes and numbers .... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Liniennetz_des_Trams_Bern.svg With the aid of this map and Google Earth it should be possible to follow our progress, until we cover track not used by service trams that is. I wish our tour company had given us a map of the route ..... Tim.
Sorry to disagree but I thought the music was a good add on. Does anyone know what the piece of guitar music at around the 20 minute was. Great video . Well done.
Get video. Disagree with Steven Day, I thought the music carried it well. Everybody's taste is different, isn't it. What was the music at 3: to 4: minutes? I liked that the best!!
Hi, thanks for your comment. For one reason or another I have to use music or leave silence because I can't use the original soundtrack, so it is pleasing to receive a positive note about the music. The track playing around 3 minutes is "Good Times - all in Good Fun" from SmartSound. I usually list the music used in the credits at the end. Thanks again ... Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 This is an example of a Hiroshima tram, but the trams switches in Japan are controlled automatically in this way. Unfortunately all the explanations of the video are in Japanese. Sorry. th-cam.com/video/AAYyT4Wd5mg/w-d-xo.html A 100-year-old tram also runs to Hiroshima, but he also has automatic control of the switch. Because there is no need to install any special equipment on the tram. It is very far from Japan, but I also wanted to go to Bern. Thank you for the nice video!
What a nice city. I would like to visit it. This type of music works great with these videos. Maybe classical music will work also for the cities with great architecture.
It's an interesting, fascinating city, full of beautiful historic buildings. Music is always a difficult choice, especially when people really want to hear the original soundtrack. Some of the original soundtrack cannot be broadcast because it might cause embarrassment or offence, hence the music. I'm glad you like the music, I'm not quite sure where I stand copyright wise when it comes to classical music, even though most of it is not covered by copyright, orchestras still claim as their original piece. I buy copyright free music which limits my choice, but I get less problems from people claiming my videos, although it still happens on a regular basis, as long as I can prove I have purchased the right to use the music, I can appeal and so far I have appealed more than 300 claims successfully. As you can probably guess I would avoid music if I could, but that would result in long silences in my videos. It's always nice to receive positive feedback when it comes to music, because an awful lot of people get quite upset that I have not used the original soundtrack.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, choosing music is a poisoned chalice, it would be much easier to leave the original sound track, but for a variety of reasons it is not always appropriate, after all I would not like to find my private conversation broadcast to the world on You Tube , so I assume other people feel likewise.
Great video and the music adds a nice touch making the whole thing an enjoyable experience. Good work! I just wish you had listed the soundtrack titles somewhere in the description. Specifically, what it the title and who is the artist for the music beginning at 17:38 minutes?
From the map on Urbanrail.net, which is a useful site (here --> www.urbanrail.net/eu/ch/be/bern.htm ), it looks as if you went down line no.3, and then crossed over to line no.9, went down to the terminus, and back up that way.
+AndreiTupolev Hi, I just looked at the map (It's good). I agree with you, about our route, we started from a convenient siding near Bern Station, following route 3 through the old town then picking up route 9 out and back again. I am editing Part 2 now, but once again I will be taking the cowards way out, as to indicate the wrong route is worse than not giving any information, although TH-cam does give me the option to add place names later. As the map is useful, I will also give the link in the description of this video. Cheers ... Tim.
+pega17pl To me as someone, not used to trams I was very careful when crossing the road, but I think tram dodging is a national sport in Switzerland. They must be very good at it because no people were run over in the making of this video.
Assistir TimsvideochanneI1em: 09/04/2022, ás 07: 01 minutos, Sábado. Estado de Pernambuco-Brasil. Vamos viajar com o Tim. E conhecer culturas e paisagem lindas que a Europa possui.
Olá, a Europa tem uma história muito complicada e fascinante. Existem tantas culturas. Todos eles deixaram sua marca, belos edifícios, um sistema ferroviário abrangente e muitos idiomas e moedas diferentes.
@@marcosantonio1006 Quando jovem, eu tinha um livro sobre ferrovias suíças, as fotografias me fascinavam, os trens maravilhosos e as belas paisagens. Achei que nunca conseguiria visitar a Suíça, tive que esperar até que meus filhos saíssem de casa antes de finalmente visitar, valeu a pena esperar, pude ver os lugares apresentados no meu livro de infância e realmente é o lugar mais bonito que eu já vi.
Some tram systems operate trams with live webcams attached such as this one - www.webcamtaxi.com/en/china/hong-kong/kennedy-town-doubledecker-tram.html It is possible that other cities such as Bern do something similar.
Hello Tim, I love this footage - could I use some of it (no audio, just some excerpts from your 3 Bern tram driver's pov) for a short web video I'm doing, based in Bern? With credit to you, obviously! Thanks for letting me know
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and it is OK for you to use short excerpts in the manner you have requested. I would be interested to see your video.
OK, I've tried, but the music's getting annoying. I've shut the sound off now, but unfortunately there's a storm going on outside and it's a bit incongruous... Maybe I should go and watch one of the 'Norway in winter' vids. :D Just a thought, but if you have to include something other than the natural sound, why not use the sound of a local radio station? At least it wouldn't sound so out of place.
Hi, music is always difficult, apart from being expensive, it hard to find something everyone likes. I don't like leaving other people's personal conversations in, after all how would you like a private conversation broadcast to the world. I have left a fair amount of the original sound in. If I used local radio the copyright lawyers would have a field day.
Any true railfan knows that part of the fun of riding antique equipment is the sound of it. Wish you hadn't ruined it with the music. I couldn't care less what the other riders were talking about.
I understand where you are coming from and I try hard to use the original soundtrack where ever possible. I know how I would feel if a personal conversation I had with someone was broadcast to the world, it is for this reason I respect other peoples privacy.
Maybe just leave the sound muted instead of adding music. That way guys like this don't have a reason to bitch about stupid shit like this. Any real rail fan knows you can't always get the sounds you want on video.
Found the music almost okay for once (although the lead guitarist is a machine) but the natural sounds would always be better. The point made about people's conversations I don't share. They're talking in a public space. I think you can't therefore embarrass them - they can only embarrass themselves.
I would love to use the natural sounds, it would make editing videos cheaper and simpler. People forget the camera is there, is the cab of a tram really a public space? We all say daft things that could cause embarrassment, most of the people talking are also friends, I would like to stay friendly with them. Causing embarrassment would not be a good move on my part, not only would I loose friends, the next time I ask to place a camera in the cab the answer is likely to be be "No".
Timsvideochannel1 Oh, then you're probably right. I was only thinking about the general rules of the law about recording in public. In most countries, it is only required that accidental actors not be visually or otherwise identifiable (license plates, house number aso). But this sounds more like a semi-private get together of train-enthusiasts, so different rules may apply. On the other hand: We viewers haven't a clue who they are, and whatever might have been said was probably heard by everyone present already, since the camera could pick it up, so what's the possible harm, really?Might it just be that you're exceptionally sensitive and cautious? Anyway, none of my business, and thanks for the fine video!
Hi, I appreciate your thoughts and agree with you on most points. My more recent videos contain far less music unless for one reason or another the soundtrack was unusable.
Timsvideochannel1 Well, that's nice. I'll be looking forward to your work, which is always fine and often excellent. For some completely illogical reason I, however, *must* know or find out what we're cab-riding in! So I wish you'd always show us before every ride. But this is probably just a hangup of mine. Anyway, you've already introduced me to land-logged Switzerland in the most beautiful way imaginable. Thanks!
Hi again, thank you, I do listen, other people have also asked me to include shots of the trains I travel in, I now try to do this wherever possible, making a special effort to take photos of the locomotive before climbing on board. I appreciate you taking time to comment. Tim.
0:39 Looks like a grubby macs after 10pm sort of cinema 3:40 WHEEEEE 23:46 Someone Max Powered a mobility scooter. 27:07 ??? Sinclair C15??? 33:24 RUN YOU CRUNCHY BASTARDS
Hi, you didn't miss anything there, the cinema looked a bit sleazy and the driver at 3:40 was pushing his luck, the two vehicles you highlighted were both worth a second look, the people crossing in front of the tram must have had a death wish.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Must have been a Friday, people always drive like divs on a friday. I've always questioned the logic of having trams mix with people or buses mix with bicycles.
@@arch9enius I can't remember what day it was, but I am left wondering how it is that bicycle riders in mainland Europe manage much better than their counterparts in the UK when it comes to crossing tram lines, it could be that they are just more familiar with them. The thing I found most disconcerting as a pedestrian was how quiet the trams were and they start without any audible warning. The trams made me very cautious, but that could just be me not being used to them in my neck of the UK.
Ah c'est pas mal, çà ! A Berne les chauffeurs de tramway doivent arrêter leur tram et en descendre pour régler eux mêmes l'aiguillage quand ils doivent changer de voie ! A part ce détail cocasse, on peut se demander à quoi ils servent leurs trams, parce que la ville est d'une tristesse à mourir : pas de piétons dans les rues ou les boulevards...sortis du centre ville. Quelle tristesse, je n'habiterais certainement pas cette ville.
Salut, seuls les tramways d’époque s’arrêtent pour changer les commutateurs, car ils ne sont pas équipés de l’électronique moderne qui permet au conducteur de changer les commutateurs de sa cabine de conduite. La plupart des tramways étaient occupés, parce que les gens les utilisaient plutôt que de marcher ou d’utiliser leur voiture. Berne n’était pas surpeuplée, il y avait assez de monde pour donner une bonne ambiance et loin du centre-ville, les banlieues tranquilles ressemblaient à la plupart des villes européennes.
And I thought pedestrians walking in front of moving vehicles, cyclists not using hand signals and helmets and drivers speeding, not giving way to other vehicles and stopping on crossings only happens in Australia especially Queensland?
I don't mind the music. I luv the music. U should have added titles and artist so I could purchase them. That's my kind of sounds but unfortunately it's not available where I live.
Hi, your comment is appreciated, I am glad you enjoyed both the video and the music. The music and it's source is listed in the credits at the end of the video.
Me too, sadly the original sound is not always suitable for a variety of reasons, my later videos include as much of the original soundtrack as possible.
Bern is an lovely city, I also liked Denver in the USA, most countries have some nice cities, in Switzerland they are clean, tidy and well looked after with a wealth of beautiful old buildings and very little graffiti.
Hi, sorry about the music, unfortunately the camera picked up a lot of conversation, much of which I replaced with music, because I don't like to broadcast peoples private conversation. I hope you understand my position. Tim.
Good music would distract attention from the images, muzak is much more suited for this purpose. It is fortunately though the passenger didn't have to stand trough the ear torturing experience inside the tram;-) Better a nice vid with Sh;te music than a disappointing vid with a great sound track,... I enjoyed watching, than for uploading.
Thanks, I appreciate this comment, especially the bit about nice vid with sh;te music, at least that way the viewer can turn the music down and maybe play something of their own choice. I try to leave the original soundtrack where it is OK and not likely to embarrass anyone, but people see the tiny GoPro cameras and either forget they are there, or don't realise they record sound. The tiny cameras seen to be excellent at picking up swearing and comments that could cause offence. It is better to receive negative comments about the music, than irate comments about some of the offensive and politically incorrect comments the camera picks up.
3:42 Idiot driver ran the light and almost collided with the tram. And why is there little car traffic in this city, do they ban most cars during the day?
It wasn't a good piece of driving, but bet he/she didn't expect the incident to be available on TH-cam. The lack of cars is down to excellent public transport and expensive in town parking. Switzerland is the most democratic country I know of, so presumable this is what people voted for. Maybe there is a lesson to be learnt there.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed some of these videos. It would be far easier for me to upload videos with original sound, but it is unfortunate the camera is good at picking up embarrassing conversations, swearing and politically incorrect comments. Determining what is being said is even harder when several different languages are being used. This is the reason I use music in places and as I am sure you will appreciate, we all have different tastes in music. Thanks for the feedback, due to this and similar comments I try to include as much original sound as I can in later videos, including personal conversations if they are not likely to cause embarrassment or offence.

A great city! There are bicycle lanes ,wide sidewalks level with the street,and trees! And of course,street cars/trams.
It's a really pleasant place to spend time just walking around, enjoying the history, art, architecture and entertainment.
A very nice video !

Hi Andrei, the old town is a beautiful, this video shows how much trams have grown over the years, they are almost trains now. The one we were travelling on would fit nicely in the garden as a summer house, but I'd never get one of the new ones in my garden, they are not likely to finish their days as garden sheds.
Omg! The streets are clean!
The Swiss keep their country clean and the habit rubs off on visitors.
Interesting trip Tim.....Great stuff...Steve.

I popped back to your channel to re-watch this and besides enjoying the virtual journey, I was struck by two thoughts. One was how interesting it is that the Swiss are using patterns of lights as their tram traffic signals while Australia is still using the standard colours but masked to the letter T for tram. The other thought was how little language skill you need in order to translate some things, as I spotted "Cine Rex" in the video and almost automatically translated it to "King Cinema" :)
I hadn't given much thought to the lights, until I studied the video after reading your comment. The Swiss system also allows the pattern of lights to act a route indicator. Whilst the Australian system is simple, using standard components, it can be confusing at junctions where there might be traffic lights with "arrows" imposed on them for road vehicles and "T" for trams. I prefer the use of white lights for trams, because the distinction is immediately obvious. I find it strange to see so many signs in English throughout the world, I guess some words are universally recognized, someone else commented that "Stop" signs at road junctions in Europe use the word "Stop" not the country language. In Shanghai, there were almost as many signs in English as in Chinese. The French and English languages share a lot of common words and expressions such as cafe, com ci com sa, c'est la vie, Aqua and Voyage. As someone who speaks English, I am grateful that it is a kind of universal language recognized around the world.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I believe that if the world lasts long enough, English will one day be a truly world-wide language which everyone can speak, although I also believe it will be unrecognisable to us by then, just as Old English is now almost unrecognisable as English to us today.
Others have told me that "stop" in Russian is actually a fairly long phrase, so they use the phonetic spelling of the English "stop" on their stop signs (it looks like "cton" to us, but the letters phonetically form the sound of "stop").
Australian tram traffic lights generally have white instead of green, to distinguish them from other traffic lights. There is either a white T for "any/default direction" or a white arrow for the permitted direction. They are also generally noticably smaller than other traffic lights, which makes sense because they're usually mounted close next to where the driver's cabin would be situated.
But the Swiss system is certainly more compact.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 I agree that it is likely that the world will one day have a universal language base around today's English, incorporating new words from around the globe, I also think spellings will be simplified as already happens in the USA. I have re-watched the last video I shot from a Melbourne tram confirming your description of Australian tram traffic lights. Take care. Tim.
Wonderful tram journey,Love the music,How many km is the network,We had a tram network in sydney one of the biggest in the world the state government shut it down in 1959 virtually over night i was in my early teen's now in 2018 there starting to rebuild the the network,I loved riding the trams,Check out the old
network on wiki,Thanks again tim for another wonderful vid now for part's 2&3 cheer's bob from sunny "OZ".

Hej till folket i Brasilien, spårvagnar är fantastiska.
I like the music its a good mix
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Beautiful stay connected💕
Stolz auf schweiz,Danke viel mal von uns schweizer familie in bulacan,
Vielen Dank, wenn ich in der Schweiz gelebt hätte, wäre ich stolz darauf, so einen wunderbaren Ort nach Hause zu nennen - Thank you, If I lived in Switzerland, I would be proud to call such a wonderful place "home".
I read the video description and I love the tram video (I like trams much more than cars), but had you added a trance or a progressive house music track, I would be movin' to the beat while watching the video at the same time lol.
Hey that's a good idea, I found one of sons old house music CD's and left it playing whilst watching the video and sure enough i found myself swaying to the beat as though I was riding the tram ;-)
Yes, and this is what I want to hear in your next tram video - a house track playing, something like "The Whistle Song" by Frankie Knuckles, "We Found Love" by Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna, or "Can You Feel It" by Mr. Fingers (I'm from Chicago and we have a lot of classic house music here, so those are just ideas).
I looked to see if there is any Royalty Free House Music available and discovered this link - th-cam.com/video/-OCzjvRBiIE/w-d-xo.html
To get an idea of what it might sound like, right click on the link below and and select "copy link address" open the link above and turn the sound up. Open another tab at the top of the screen and paste this link (the one you have just copied) - th-cam.com/video/AJsXNW9Wq6Q/w-d-xo.html and play the tram video with the sound turned down - Hey Presto - trams rocking to house music (basically you have You Tube open twice, using one for sound and the other for the pictures)
Let me know what you think?
Ah! Much better :-D

Bern is quite a character city.
Bern is a beautiful old city with plenty of old world charm.

Thank you 😊
Now i know how a switch on tram lane works
Some switch automatically when they receive a signal from the tram, others can be changed manually.
Copied from this article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_switch
The switch points of tram lines are often operated remotely by the driver.
The traditional solution for control is whether the car draws power or not when passing under a special short segment of the overhead wire. The presence or absence of power draw is detected by special circuitry, which activates or deactivates the switch points. This arrangement requires the tram car to coast unpowered through the switch (running on momentum) when making certain moves.
The next system uses a powerful electromagnet in the tram and a reed relay inlaid between the tracks to initiate the blade turning mechanism. The driver has a separate switch to control the magnet, thus switching is no longer dependent on power draw of the tram simplifying the procedure somewhat. Turning the switchblades always requires a magnetic field on the relay and its polarity dictates the direction. No magnetic field when passing the relay means retain the blades in whatever the position they were.
Alternatively, more recently, radio telemetry or some other form of control signaling is used.
Lovely vid must be sunday morning no traffic or people or is this normal

Hi, thanks for the comment. This video was taken on a busy Saturday afternoon, as you can see the public transport system works well, hence not so many cars. Public transport in Switzerland is inexpensive and easy to use.
@@Timsvideochannel1 ...Except the one that nearly plowed right into the left side of the train..
good choice of music. just fits fine. top.
Thank you, it's always hard choosing music, I'm pleased you liked it.
Great Video but think the music spoils it I'm afraid
+Stephen Dey
Hi, I am pleased you enjoyed the video, sorry about the music, but the camera picked up a conversation between the driver and our tour leader, they were talking German and my knowledge of the language was not good enough to know whether or not leaving their personal conversation in would cause offence or embarrassment. Better safe than sorry.
Point taken.
What does the graffiti demarcate everything is neat and tidy then it starts at 12:18, the tram reverses at 18:00 and
all graffiti stops at 27:30? I saw that glimpse of a steam tram that was neat.
Graffiti is rare in Switzerland, but I believe it is allowed in some areas provided the artists abide by certain rules. If someone reading this knows the answer, please share it with us. That steam tram is very popular, with tour groups who can hire it for a trip around the extensive Bern tram system.
Wonderful - I actually located a picture of the tram itself in Flickr. You don't have the beginning and ending points of this ride, or the lines rode in this video, do you? Dog
+Dana Mack
Hi Dana, I tried Google Earth to see if I could include some information, but I was going to leave myself wide open to mistakes, so opted for minimum information. At times our tram catches up with service trams showing the route number they are operating, most of this video covers route 9. Here is a link to a map showing the routes and numbers .... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Liniennetz_des_Trams_Bern.svg
With the aid of this map and Google Earth it should be possible to follow our progress, until we cover track not used by service trams that is. I wish our tour company had given us a map of the route ..... Tim.
Sorry to disagree but I thought the music was a good add on. Does anyone know what the piece of guitar music at around the 20 minute was. Great video . Well done.
Thank you Terry, it's nice to know someone likes the music, the tracks use are listed at the end of the video.
Get video. Disagree with Steven Day, I thought the music carried it well. Everybody's taste is different, isn't it. What was the music at 3: to 4: minutes? I liked that the best!!
Hi, thanks for your comment. For one reason or another I have to use music or leave silence because I can't use the original soundtrack, so it is pleasing to receive a positive note about the music. The track playing around 3 minutes is "Good Times - all in Good Fun" from SmartSound. I usually list the music used in the credits at the end. Thanks again ... Tim.
Amo ver sempre esta via. Uma beleza. Gostaria de estar pessoalmente

A 100-year-old tram also runs to Hiroshima, but he also has automatic control of the switch. Because there is no need to install any special equipment on the tram.
It is very far from Japan, but I also wanted to go to Bern. Thank you for the nice video!
I enjoyed the music !
That's nice to know. Thank you.
Is Bern normally this quiet, or was this filmed on a Sunday?
This was a normal day, it shows what good public transport can achieve.
There is Aggrawal food corner for indian food😍
Indian food is popular all over the world.
What a nice city. I would like to visit it. This type of music works great with these videos. Maybe classical music will work also for the cities with great architecture.
It's an interesting, fascinating city, full of beautiful historic buildings. Music is always a difficult choice, especially when people really want to hear the original soundtrack. Some of the original soundtrack cannot be broadcast because it might cause embarrassment or offence, hence the music. I'm glad you like the music, I'm not quite sure where I stand copyright wise when it comes to classical music, even though most of it is not covered by copyright, orchestras still claim as their original piece. I buy copyright free music which limits my choice, but I get less problems from people claiming my videos, although it still happens on a regular basis, as long as I can prove I have purchased the right to use the music, I can appeal and so far I have appealed more than 300 claims successfully. As you can probably guess I would avoid music if I could, but that would result in long silences in my videos. It's always nice to receive positive feedback when it comes to music, because an awful lot of people get quite upset that I have not used the original soundtrack.
Yeah that eas my bad. I finished the video this morning around four a.m. and seen them. Sorry.
Sensacional! #Brasil.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
The video is great. Gives a wonderful first hand experience but the music is totally inappropriate.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, choosing music is a poisoned chalice, it would be much easier to leave the original sound track, but for a variety of reasons it is not always appropriate, after all I would not like to find my private conversation broadcast to the world on You Tube , so I assume other people feel likewise.
Great video and the music adds a nice touch making the whole thing an enjoyable experience. Good work! I just wish you had listed the soundtrack titles somewhere in the description. Specifically, what it the title and who is the artist for the music beginning at 17:38 minutes?
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, the sound tracks and their source are listed in the credits at the end of the video. I hope this helps. Tim.
OMG! Now I feel like a real fool. I was so eager to get the the next part that i skipped past the credits. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
No problem, most people skip the credits, I know I'm guilty.
Why music?? I just want to hear the tram
The camera picked up a lot of private conversations and it's not right to broadcast them to the world.
From the map on Urbanrail.net, which is a useful site (here --> www.urbanrail.net/eu/ch/be/bern.htm ), it looks as if you went down line no.3, and then crossed over to line no.9, went down to the terminus, and back up that way.
+AndreiTupolev
Hi, I just looked at the map (It's good). I agree with you, about our route, we started from a convenient siding near Bern Station, following route 3 through the old town then picking up route 9 out and back again. I am editing Part 2 now, but once again I will be taking the cowards way out, as to indicate the wrong route is worse than not giving any information, although TH-cam does give me the option to add place names later. As the map is useful, I will also give the link in the description of this video. Cheers ... Tim.
How many accidents did you cut, Tim?
+pega17pl
To me as someone, not used to trams I was very careful when crossing the road, but I think tram dodging is a national sport in Switzerland. They must be very good at it because no people were run over in the making of this video.
And, just imagine, one part of the bern town is called..... Bethlehem.

Hello Tim, I love this footage - could I use some of it (no audio, just some excerpts from your 3 Bern tram driver's pov) for a short web video I'm doing, based in Bern? With credit to you, obviously! Thanks for letting me know
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and it is OK for you to use short excerpts in the manner you have requested. I would be interested to see your video.
OK, I've tried, but the music's getting annoying. I've shut the sound off now, but unfortunately there's a storm going on outside and it's a bit incongruous... Maybe I should go and watch one of the 'Norway in winter' vids. :D
Just a thought, but if you have to include something other than the natural sound, why not use the sound of a local radio station? At least it wouldn't sound so out of place.
Hi, music is always difficult, apart from being expensive, it hard to find something everyone likes. I don't like leaving other people's personal conversations in, after all how would you like a private conversation broadcast to the world. I have left a fair amount of the original sound in. If I used local radio the copyright lawyers would have a field day.

Looks like a cross between a Reliant Robin and a boat ..... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliant_Robin
Any true railfan knows that part of the fun of riding antique equipment is the sound of it. Wish you hadn't ruined it with the music. I couldn't care less what the other riders were talking about.
I understand where you are coming from and I try hard to use the original soundtrack where ever possible. I know how I would feel if a personal conversation I had with someone was broadcast to the world, it is for this reason I respect other peoples privacy.
Maybe just leave the sound muted instead of adding music. That way guys like this don't have a reason to bitch about stupid shit like this. Any real rail fan knows you can't always get the sounds you want on video.
Found the music almost okay for once (although the lead guitarist is a machine) but the natural sounds would always be better. The point made about people's conversations I don't share. They're talking in a public space. I think you can't therefore embarrass them - they can only embarrass themselves.
I would love to use the natural sounds, it would make editing videos cheaper and simpler. People forget the camera is there, is the cab of a tram really a public space? We all say daft things that could cause embarrassment, most of the people talking are also friends, I would like to stay friendly with them. Causing embarrassment would not be a good move on my part, not only would I loose friends, the next time I ask to place a camera in the cab the answer is likely to be be "No".
Timsvideochannel1 Oh, then you're probably right. I was only thinking about the general rules of the law about recording in public. In most countries, it is only required that accidental actors not be visually or otherwise identifiable (license plates, house number aso). But this sounds more like a semi-private get together of train-enthusiasts, so different rules may apply.
On the other hand: We viewers haven't a clue who they are, and whatever might have been said was probably heard by everyone present already, since the camera could pick it up, so what's the possible harm, really?Might it just be that you're exceptionally sensitive and cautious? Anyway, none of my business, and thanks for the fine video!
Hi, I appreciate your thoughts and agree with you on most points. My more recent videos contain far less music unless for one reason or another the soundtrack was unusable.
Timsvideochannel1 Well, that's nice. I'll be looking forward to your work, which is always fine and often excellent. For some completely illogical reason I, however, *must* know or find out what we're cab-riding in! So I wish you'd always show us before every ride. But this is probably just a hangup of mine. Anyway, you've already introduced me to land-logged Switzerland in the most beautiful way imaginable. Thanks!
Hi again, thank you, I do listen, other people have also asked me to include shots of the trains I travel in, I now try to do this wherever possible, making a special effort to take photos of the locomotive before climbing on board. I appreciate you taking time to comment. Tim.

@@Timsvideochannel1 Must have been a Friday, people always drive like divs on a friday. I've always questioned the logic of having trams mix with people or buses mix with bicycles.
@@arch9enius I can't remember what day it was, but I am left wondering how it is that bicycle riders in mainland Europe manage much better than their counterparts in the UK when it comes to crossing tram lines, it could be that they are just more familiar with them. The thing I found most disconcerting as a pedestrian was how quiet the trams were and they start without any audible warning. The trams made me very cautious, but that could just be me not being used to them in my neck of the UK.
Hmmm, well I lived in been for 16 years. Bit still hard to I'd these priads.
Ah c'est pas mal, çà ! A Berne les chauffeurs de tramway doivent arrêter leur tram et en descendre pour régler eux mêmes l'aiguillage quand ils doivent changer de voie ! A part ce détail cocasse, on peut se demander à quoi ils servent leurs trams, parce que la ville est d'une tristesse à mourir : pas de piétons dans les rues ou les boulevards...sortis du centre ville. Quelle tristesse, je n'habiterais certainement pas cette ville.
Salut, seuls les tramways d’époque s’arrêtent pour changer les commutateurs, car ils ne sont pas équipés de l’électronique moderne qui permet au conducteur de changer les commutateurs de sa cabine de conduite. La plupart des tramways étaient occupés, parce que les gens les utilisaient plutôt que de marcher ou d’utiliser leur voiture. Berne n’était pas surpeuplée, il y avait assez de monde pour donner une bonne ambiance et loin du centre-ville, les banlieues tranquilles ressemblaient à la plupart des villes européennes.

And I thought pedestrians walking in front of moving vehicles, cyclists not using hand signals and helmets and drivers speeding, not giving way to other vehicles and stopping on crossings only happens in Australia especially Queensland?
A bicycle rickshaw ride in around Delhi makes Australian and Swiss cyclists and pedestrians look positively sensible.

Oops forgot the drivers, I think they would like to speed but there are too many pedestrians, rickshaws and cyclists in the way.

You don't see many of them, whatever it is.
I don't mind the music. I luv the music. U should have added titles and artist so I could purchase them. That's my kind of sounds but unfortunately it's not available where I live.
Hi, your comment is appreciated, I am glad you enjoyed both the video and the music. The music and it's source is listed in the credits at the end of the video.
Nix the music track.
I hate the music
Hey you, are you a bully talking to people on the tramline?
the music was annoying. i prefer natural sounds
Me too, sadly the original sound is not always suitable for a variety of reasons, my later videos include as much of the original soundtrack as possible.
Why can't cities in the United States be the nice.
Bern is an lovely city, I also liked Denver in the USA, most countries have some nice cities, in Switzerland they are clean, tidy and well looked after with a wealth of beautiful old buildings and very little graffiti.
The music spoils this otherwise good video. I like to hear the natural sounds of the ride rather than the shit music
Hi, sorry about the music, unfortunately the camera picked up a lot of conversation, much of which I replaced with music, because I don't like to broadcast peoples private conversation. I hope you understand my position. Tim.
Good music would distract attention from the images, muzak is much more suited for this purpose. It is fortunately though the passenger didn't have to stand trough the ear torturing experience inside the tram;-)
Better a nice vid with Sh;te music than a disappointing vid with a great sound track,...
I enjoyed watching, than for uploading.
Thanks, I appreciate this comment, especially the bit about nice vid with sh;te music, at least that way the viewer can turn the music down and maybe play something of their own choice. I try to leave the original soundtrack where it is OK and not likely to embarrass anyone, but people see the tiny GoPro cameras and either forget they are there, or don't realise they record sound. The tiny cameras seen to be excellent at picking up swearing and comments that could cause offence. It is better to receive negative comments about the music, than irate comments about some of the offensive and politically incorrect comments the camera picks up.

It was a close shave.
3:42 Idiot driver ran the light and almost collided with the tram. And why is there little car traffic in this city, do they ban most cars during the day?
It wasn't a good piece of driving, but bet he/she didn't expect the incident to be available on TH-cam. The lack of cars is down to excellent public transport and expensive in town parking. Switzerland is the most democratic country I know of, so presumable this is what people voted for. Maybe there is a lesson to be learnt there.

I see no metro area is immune to graffiti. I guess kids are disrespectful, regardless of the culture.
I was surprised to see graffiti in Switzerland, it just isn't a Swiss thing.
I've enjoyed some of these videos but the music is awful, irritating and unnecessary. Just the recorded sound would be perfect.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed some of these videos. It would be far easier for me to upload videos with original sound, but it is unfortunate the camera is good at picking up embarrassing conversations, swearing and politically incorrect comments. Determining what is being said is even harder when several different languages are being used. This is the reason I use music in places and as I am sure you will appreciate, we all have different tastes in music. Thanks for the feedback, due to this and similar comments I try to include as much original sound as I can in later videos, including personal conversations if they are not likely to cause embarrassment or offence.
Great video. Dreadful music.
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, I try to use natural sounds as much as possible, because my taste in music isn't to everyone's liking.
