A little bit of information. The tram is a single 4,7-mi-long line that connects Volchanka and Lesnaja Volchanka, the only two neighbourhoods of the city. 13 stops, russian gauge, 7 trams and a tractor to push snow of the tracks. The forest route is, basically, the space between the two neighbourhoods. Volchanks is 11,000 people.
@@CanadianLange 11,000 people? Damn. The capital of my home state, Columbus Ohio, has over a million people and no tram line. It's the LARGEST city in America WITHOUT one.
Wow. My town in the US has a little over 11K people and not even a tram or bus line. It's pretty dystopian because up until the 40's and 50's people here still used horse and buggy and homes on main street still have carriage houses.

The name of the town is Volchansk which is mentioned in subtitles in the video actually. Population is 8 885, going down from the peak of 25 000 since the 60es and most probably disappear off the map soon as there's nothing much to do here.
That depressing looks comes in large part because there is little vegetation, and the grass is muddy etc. It looks like that everywhere where there is proper winter but currently no snow.

I am glad this city has a tram. It is a shame that some people just can't seem to obey the rules here. Trams help ease congestion. Eventhough this is a very small town but a way to beautify a small town is to do it with Transit Oriented Development or TOD for short. TOD gets rid of the filth. In major cities, it rips down crack houses, things like that and puts coffee houses and grocery stores in their places.
The changes follow the tram because land values increase along tram routes, although that depends to some extent on the taxation systems. In Germany a town will invest in the infrastructure knowing they'll get the money back in increased taxes. There's a flip side though: the real estate developers make a killing buying and selling the land and taxpayers pay for the infrastructure. And it isn't just 'crack houses' that vanish, but also often affordable housing, because Landlords can charge more. Of course, dealing with the problems that cause crack houses would be a good move as well. I'm not arguing against trams though. that'd be a bit silly as I use the only rack tramway in Germany every day...
they've had the the thing for decades!!!!! no beautification followed. what a depressing thought that your city indentifies with a old tram. anybody who thinks socialism is wonderful this is what awaits.
It pretty much is. Except North Korea's government is too busy with sending their people to labour camps, while Russian government is too busy with state funds embezzlement.
That depressing looks comes in large part because there is little vegetation, and the grass is muddy etc. It looks like that everywhere where there is proper winter but currently no snow.
The smallest town with a tram is either Soller, Mallorca, Spain (pretty awesome actually) or Gmunden, Austria. I like small towns with trams, it makes them really special and far more interesting. Hope the Russian town can improve its position with something that special.
Mr. Sir what I'm saying is people with the most are most likely to be unhappily than these people, because these people are happy with what they have and don't have expensive stuff to look after

No, you need new brains. Just because this small town has old trams doesn't mean all of Russia has old trams. Moscow, for example, has modern trams. And besides: what did you expect?

Would like to know what is meant by "theft"... does that mean theft aboard the trams, or theft in the operations department?
Wiorse: thefts- poor people or drunkards that can steal the wires or even rails (or parts of cars in the depot) and sell it as scrap metal ((
Guys, a tram in the forest is the essence of all of Russia.
It is still working ?
Yeah
In Russia, You don't ride tram. Tram rides you
