Trams are only available in a very small part in Kolkata. Its mainly kept as heritage. No one uses it as mode of communication except a very few small set of people. BTW you are roaming around hot & humid Kolkata with your family at 2 in the afternoon !!! You really have the passion for travel.
there is also a AC tram
Oh dear, you brought my memories back. 40 odd years back I had a chance to stay in Calcutta for a couple of months. I still remember that excited trip on a tram. It was crowded then. Another was a man pulled rickshaw with a bell in his hand. Though I made a furlong ride, I felt a bit guilty about it. I paid him a 10 rupee note and begged for his apologies. Those Days for 1 rupee one can have a decent meal. 10 paise 5 paise 2 paise were in circulation.
Another sight is the Amby, it is still plying as taxi. Rosh Behari Avenue and Mangoe Lane is still fresh in my memories.
Enjoy the swinging city.
Thanks for sharing this memory
man pulled rickshaw still exist.
Inflation is bad. about 2005 one could get lunch plate for about 15.
Your kids are so lovely 😊!!! They are so well behaved and well disciplined 👍💪🏿 !! I am proud of you Sir 👏🏽
cheers
I am sure it's a great experience riding on a 150 years old tram and looks fun too. I am sure your kids enjoyed the ride.
Oh absolutely, great ride
Enjoyed this video a lot. I remember my trip to Calcutta every minute was special.
Great to hear!
Mr moon and family are excited to be on a rickety tram i like it 👌 😀
Best tram I ever seen

Watching this just reminded me about the trip we took back in 90s when i was a little kid , and my parents gave us the tour of these old trams, they look exact same after 30 years ! lovely video and hope you are all having great time !
Glad you enjoyed it
Your exploring in India is osam man go goo
Cheers mate
That looked like a fun experience. Your kids are getting the best education available. Different cultures, food, languages. Excellent.
Cheers mate, agreed, we don't have to worry about the kids.
Great tram trip Moonshine. That was exciting 👍. Just wondering how you got back😃☘.
Haha, same tram back.
@@yvesthesleeve Haha Best way👍☘.
A great experience indeed riding on a 150 years old tram. Good that it's still functioning fine and the instructions are wriiten in English. Thanks for sharing and showing this typical transportation which can still be found in Kolkata.
Yes indeed!
@@yvesthesleeve will u be visiting Patna(Bihar)?
Wow it is so old school.
Welcome to Kolkata... the cultural and intellectual capital of India...my home is just 30km from Kolkata..
Thanks for sharing your tram ride .
Thanks for watching!
I rode those trams in the 1950s and 60s. We would jump off the moving tram when we saw the conductor coming and in that way we would get to school for free and spend our tram fare on junk food from the ting ting wallahs.
Legacy of the British!! Trams!! Good way to sightsee!! 😁
I would agree
Looks like a fun ride, funny presentation in any way....
It was!
Oh, You are very good as you are exploring whole of Kolkata & other parts of India along with your wife & children.
Trams are fun
indeed
Beautiful! We can see you & we can hear you. Thank you for showing us Calcutta and this is the first time I am seeing India by travelling with you. I sure I will try the team on 30th of this month.
Go to Salt Lake and Newtown area in Kolkata. Newtown is a smart city in Kolkata. You can visit Nicco park and Eco park there. Eco park has the replicas of the 7 wonders of the world.
Lovely tram ride, sit in front
Yes, thanks
Also first city in Asia to get trams lot cities in India had trams but removed almost 50 years now . but planning to re introduce in modern way
Love it !
cheers
Nice to watch the trams still functioning! We use it in Calcutta to visit the Dak. temple. Luckily you did not go at peak hrs!!
Yep, but we are always kind of lucky
as a tram rider you are so excited . you like tram . there are so many people love tram in kolkata. but we regretfully said this transport's condition is very poor. it is one of the heritage side of kolkata. your Europe & 1st world countries should save this very cool transport system immediately . required some fund & should talk to state govt of west Bengal. & required modern technology for more development.
It's Europe who has lost so much to modernity, it's still cool in Kolkata
Kolkotta can order new tram as track is already there which is actually more difficult if you make new.
Hello Moonshine & Lemongrass, nice to see you & family, nice video on the tram 🚃
Hello 👋
the government is trying to remove these century old trams and bring modern trams like those seen in European cities but many people are protesting against this as they think it would destroy the history.
Modernisation is very much necessary in Kolkata trams to attract more people and new tram lines should be made between tourist sites.
I agree that it would be bad to have modern trams destroying history like everywhere. There is no going back. sad.
Bombay had trams till the 70s or so.
Been to Calcutta in the 1980's on a research study as a University scholar from Hyderabad. Actually, Howrah. It was such an overwhelming experience with the maddening crowd & traffic as Hyderabad was & still is a smaller city compared to Kolkata! The metro was under construction at that time. The point is we took a ride in the tram which was jampacked. Very affordable to the poorest of the poor, we appreciated the service. It's a great historic city, but has lately been in the news for all the wrong reasons! Your vlog is so very lively... Pl take care and All the best!
Cheers mate
Wow! I am surprised this old bone-shaker tram can still function.
Me too!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@yvesthesleeve 🙂
Love
From
Andhra Pradesh ✌️✌️✌️✌️
hello
@@yvesthesleeve how are you brother 😍😍😍😍
I really enjoy by seeing the way you enjoy the trips. Yea you are teaching others about tourism in a budget way. Tourism is not about spending too much money, that’s what everyone should learn.
cheers mate
Lmao your wife was mad. "You have to help me". Dude, you sat down and left her standing. Nice!!
Nah, she is used to that.
Such a good video 👍 i too was feeling that I m in Calcutta n in tram .
Great 👍
Oh man did you enjoy the tram ride or what. It was so much fun to see you having that much fun. 😃 😃 😃
Yes, thank you
Come to Dakshineswar temple and Belur moth one day. It's adjacent to river. You will love especially the Belur.
You are awesome man👌😍
thanks mate
The father became a kid and enjoyed LOL. Sir, please visit Varanasi(Khasi) in Uttar Pradesh.It is holy place
No dear friend this tram is not 150 years old .What he meant was CTC the company is old ie Calcutta Tramways Corp.It is slowly being wound up and its presence is minimal .
What is Kolkata without the early morning (5 in the morning unfortunately) roadside haka Chinese dumplings breakfast at dhapa tireta bazar, besides the Bengali- hilsa fish/eelish fish curry (with mustard) main rice meal. Just make sure your stomach doesn't get upset and the very spiny boany fish doesn't create an eating casualty
Thank you for trying Kolkata tram.
my pleasure
Ah so cool. I have been on Trams in Lisbon, great fun.
It really is! but this one is quite old which makes it absolutely amazing
Moonshine and Lemongrass: 100+ year old trams in Kolkata are still working pretty good! Have you and your family tried to ride the hand pulled rickshaws in the center of Kolkata yet? If you see them in the center of Kolkata, please do it and see how you and your family feel like riding it in the 19th century or earlier there. Please make videos of hand pulled rickshaws and post here. Enjoy your trip in Kolkata.
It's funny when ticket collector asked where to go, u kept blank face...
I had no plan
Tramp journey wow...
0:38. If you notice that bike on the tram tracks. That is one major problem of Kolkata. Maniacs park their vehicles on tram tracks and leave and people just go around searching for the owner of the vehicle for which the tram gets delayed
Yes this is bad
U are simply superb.
Thank you so much 😀
Try Kolhapur in Maharashtra, no foreign vloggers have been their but its nice.
Next time!
Trams in europe are the best. Penang used to have trams in the olden days.
Trams are just great, in Europe they are a bit too modern... I like the old trams.
Go to the VARANASI words thousands years old cultural live city in india ,plz take care your wife and children also, bcos they r also super important .iam also sweting so much too bcos of indias humanity .
Very nice 👌😁❤️ from india
Thanks! 😃
Trams are like exceptional for use
There used to be 1st class in the front coach and 2nd or 3rd class in the back coach, but both were definitely different classes and the front was 10 paise and the rear 5 or 7 paise, Calcutta had beautiful double decker buses, unfortunately no more, you got a free treat of the city when riding upper deck
Interesting, still it seems to be a good means to see the town, nice and relaxing and never overcrowded.
The ladies seats in first class were nicer in the old days
Nice!
That was a Calcutta tramcar. It was not a hundred and fifty years old, the route number was 150. Routes of public transport like buses, trains and trams are numbered according to the route.
Alright
Most of the buildings you see in this old city are over 100 years old , maybe double but still families live there....
sure thing
Please go through Maidan by tram...you will feel real kolkata.. that's the best part of kolkata tram
I think electric tram can reduce traffic situations in the mega cities and and also can cause less pollution if if people start using trams again
Next time I will speak in english to travel free of cost in tram.
But the tram was not free...
love from banglore
😊
Nice video
🤗🤗
Good to see those old trams still working. i miss kolkata so much ! Try bengali sweets from some of the famous and old sweet shops like *Bhim Nag, Nakur Nandi, KC Das* etc. Try bengali sweets (you wont get them anywhere else in the world) like _'white kora pak sondesh'(nakur nandi, bhim nag) , shor bhaja, malai chop, fresh fried hot goja, mishti doi (sweet curd)_ ;... other bengali sweets like rasogulla, chomchom, lancha, kheer kadam and gulab jamun are other bengali sweets but available in all parts of india even in USA UK Japan etc these days.
Love from Chennai.. Plz visit Chennai & kerala
I love ur lovely kids. I want to meet them once
Must visit Darjeeling
Very beautiful place and it's in west bengal too
Pls make longer videos, thanks!
I think Move inside the tram means "Don't hang out of the door but keep moving inside and let other people come in"
Indo Soviet friendship and treaty results in Soviet Trams in Kolkata

You can also visit the Tram museum in Kolkata(Saranika). Entry Fee: 20INR per person.
In India we don't say disabled instead we call them specifically abled. Gutka is betel nut and tobacco chewing .

Hi Brother, could you tell how you get this passion, and your objective regarding PERMANENT TRAVELLING. please share your experience and thoughts.
permanent is always, just sometimes stay a bit longer.
You gotta eat kolkata biryani from Arsalan or haji saheb restaurant
Bro, Nice tram raid. How kolkata smells.
It's good

There is no overhead wires for tram power
Come to Hyderabad
Check out
When are coming to Varanasi

Good night 💤
Please move inside the car for footboard travellers when seats are available 😀😀😀😁
Yup , tramps of Calcutta is a small fraction of the British colonial legacy of the old city ..It's the first metropolitan megacity city of India which crossed the 1 million mark in 1910 itself ..Today , due to political nexus the city has lost its old glory & many new cities have overtaken it ..Although , the architecture of the city is still one of the best in the country
Since , you with your family has travelled length & breadth of India for last 2 months ...the only paradise you miss is the North East India ..Visit , Gangtok , Darjeeling , Guwahati , Shillong , Kohima & Aizwal ..as your last leg in India . You'll really enjoy the trip
We will on the next visa leg
@@yvesthesleeve ..Ok Sir , ..happy & safe journey ahead ..Your kids are really cute ..Sending love for them
