    They are looking more European! The streetcar system seems to be very practical!
    Very nice video! :-)

      Oregon Transit Fan Better than fucking driving cars and creating traffic jams. It is also much more eco friendly.

    Nice video. I wonder about there is no general livery of the trams.

    I love these videos but I think some sort of lens shade is needed, too much glare which pc wont change

      Michael Peirson you are right! I am retiring the camera that I used to shoot this video as soon as the new camera comes in! Just in time for Europe and other travels. Thank you for the comment!

    Boy, some of the streetcars make so much noise when traveling, even at slow speeds. There must be bald spots on the wheels making a thud every time the wheel turns a revolution. Sometimes, when the vehicle brakes too hard, the wheels skid along the tracks creating these bald spots, or uneven areas in the wheels. The bald spots then damage the rail as it rolls creating a bad cycle.

      Yeah these things aren't great. So bumpy, they always smell, and are dirty inside. I take buses so I can avoid it in Downtown.

      Vito Gospodinov They do, but they are on different streets

    • @Mr55330
      @Mr55330 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      QuarioQuario54321 buth why the cars are on the same street in the two direction

    • @QuarioQuario54321
      @QuarioQuario54321 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vito Gospodinov The streets would be too narrow

      Those are streetcars, a little different from normal train transit. I’m not sure why Portland doesn’t have two way, but it works. In some streetcars, only parts of the track are 2-way, meaning a train will only pass a train on those spaces.

      The streets are one way. They go with the flow of traffic

    Slowest things on earth. I've yet to complete a ride on these streetcars, I become so frustrated at how slow they are. That I get off and walk.

      Yes but this is problem of old rail infrastructure rather than streetcars.
