Wait but you didn't tell us it was buses in San Francisco Too! How come you didn't tell us that?🧐🤨
I love Muni trolley buses! So quiet and and I love the Lazer sounds the trolley ears make with the wires.
I've been to San Francisco, and I had fun riding those cable cars
I usually take the BART for San Francisco. And sometimes to Berkeley. I even used the Muni bus for the Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday. Man, that bus was crowded!
Such a wide variety of mass transit! The underground stations all look quite recent. And clean. Enjoyed the cable 🚡 cars! Thanks!
Lol, if you listen to the locals then these systems are grimiest on earth! Maybe that's why they're so clean. Everyone around here keeps complaining that everything is dirty, but I honestly just can't see it. It's just another quirk of SF. Everyone is constantly complaining about things that are clearly not even happening or if they are happening nearly as bad as they make it out to be
Diverse range of mass rapid transportation. Nice compilation 🙂
SMART would be worth adding, they have a new ferry-train combo ticket too. Gotta check out the new Van Ness "BRT", its awesome... open busway for the Muni 49 and a handful of GGT buses. Its just infrastructure for a key portion of these routes, its not a BRT operation.
Gotta love Riding on those Siemens trains
Love the variety of transit in San Francisco. Beautiful city!!
Thanks Tim for sharing💙💙😀
The wide variety of Rail options Reminds me a lot of DFW and Miami
Thank you for this feast!
Nice job. Only thing left out was the SF Bay's extensive ferry network
Same...
Great public transport!
Watching the opening I thought " What's the matter with that street car? It's sooo loud!" And then the garbage truck accelerated into the frame.
I really enjoyed this, Timosha, Thank you.
I used to live in the city and rode all of them at some point. I recognized a few of the locations too from my time there.
My favorites are the Muni Metro and the Bart Subway. Last time I visited they still had the Boeing LRVs including some inherited from Boston
True: the MBTA had so many problems with their Boeing cars they refused the final shipment, and MUNI took them instead.
@Edward Miessner : Muni originally ordered 100 Boeings to replace 100 PCCs, the thought being the larger cars would suffice. Muni was wrong as the Meto became an instant hit. Muni eventually realized that extremely crowded Boeings would no longer cut it. Boston decided not to exercise the option they had for 40 cars so Muni immediately jumped in and picked them up. Those 40 cars were not inherited but, rather, purchased when the opportunity arose. Those Boeings were eventually replaced by a fleet by Breda and the Bredas are now being replaced by Siemens.
The Boeings were hated by us locals. They were too small and broke down constantlu. All the the historic electric trolleys on the F line are from all over the world, different U.S. cities, the UK and even Milan, Italy. They offered the unit that maintains those lines some Boeings for historical purposes and they said they weren't interested. When you get dissed by the preservationist guys, you know you aren't wanted!
@@melbaker9495 : The Boeings weren't "too small" as all three modern streetcars used by the City are basically the same size. Configuration of seats and space on the inside would allow variations on how many passengers could cram inside. And, yes, they indeed were a maintenance nightmare. Also, it's true that Market Street Railway and Muni weren't very interested in a Boeing for the historic roster.
As for the PCCs in use today, most of them originally ran in the City, having been purchased outright from the car builder or second hand from Saint Louis surplus. A handful later came from Toronto to help out during the final years of the Metro system construction. After the F-line took flight, more PCCs were needed and New Jersey Transit was selling off the old rolling stock which Muni bought. All the PCCs have been refurbished and rebuilt.
The Milan trams are all surplus after they were replaced by new rolling stock. The other cars used (usually for special events or days) are either historic SF cars or cars from foreign cities.
By the way, I actually liked the Boeings.
@@sfmike711 thanks for the correction!
my fav are the trollybusses and BART
Fine!
Is there another city in the US with more modes than SF? I can’t think of one. It has Bus, Trolleybus, Cable Car, Streetcar/Light rail, Rapid Transit, Ferry and Commuter Rail. Even within the modes there is such diversity. Muni Metro has portions of street running streetcar, light rail in median and underground metro style service. Within the bus category there is almost every type: both standard and articulated hybrid bus and trolley bus, AC Transit runs double decker buses into the city and Golden Gate Transit runs high floor coach buses. Now with the recent reopening of Van Ness there is even BRT
Philadelphia and Boston (before they got rid of their trolleybuses)...
Seattle too but swap Cable Cars (which they had until 1940) with another novelty... monorail. Seattle has a huge range of transit types, obviously lots of ferries but also a wide range of buses. LRT comes in all types of operation: street running streetcars and typical LRT with underground.
A light rail train going fast along a boulevard would be unthinkable in NYC my old hometown. Also an articulated electric bus using double overhead wires going up or down a hill.
Not too far off - look to Jersey City with HBLR!
I’ve ridden them all! Next up: riding all the ferry routes!
Wow, you filmed all that in one day?!
Do ferries count?
I did not get a chance to film the ferries -
I’ve always wanted to ride all of the different modes of public transportation of the Bay Area. Great videos of West Portal and BART. Was the Van Ness BRT open when you were filming? Hopefully you can update your video when the Central Subway opens and maybe include a ferry ride.
Those LRVs seem to move at quite a speed. Interesting that the buses seem to have quite large opening windows, as well as air conditioning or don't they have that?
Мне вот интересно, а Skoda 14TrSf там ещё используются? Или уже всё, списали?
Тамошние шкоды уже списали несколько лет назад, сейчас там только New Flyer Xcelsior работают гармошки и обычные. Единственное, там они одну шкоду 14TrSf сохранили как музейный экземпляр, а вот 15TrSf все порезали.
@@electrourbantrans1018 грустно. Ну, хоть один оставили, и то радует
I love SF public transit!!! There are all transport modes in the city - buses, trackless trolleys, streetcars, subways, commuter trains, people movers and ferries. But as I know they open BRT but still doesn't return trolleybus operation in 49, do you know why is it so? Trolleybuses was in open ceremony of BRT corridor, but now there are bus operation, only...
Also, I'm waiting for central subway extension, because it can improve people mobility and expand LRT network with high speed average in comparison with ground level speeds.
They need to do some route changes. The 47 went away during COVID service reductions (and never returned) and it had a 5 block tail into eastern Fishermans Wharf along North Point that has no wire (east of Columbus). The 49 picked up that Fisherman's Wharf leg. Don't know why they don't run it off-wire (they run a much longer off wire extension to Crissy Field on the 30), anyhow its understood that the 28 will pick up this Fisherman's Wharf leg, the 49 will go back to terminating at the foot of Van Ness and then will go back to trolley.
If you're in the City, the Central Subway will start limited demonstration rides tomorrow. You can take a free ride to see how the subway will operate in the future.
Great video!!!!!!!
Before the L4RV, what is the ones before the L4VR???
Only thing about the Muni light rail that I hate is how the trains all have high floors despite most of the stations having low platforms. It's because the subway tunnels were all built with high platforms but I hope someday that they can be modified for low platforms instead.
They're actually upgrading the low-platform stations to level boarding instead of the other way around. This was always the plan from the very beginning, but they never had the funds to do all the stations at once. The Muni Metro is envisioned as a mixed metro rather than a streetcar/European-style tram. They are also planning on separating the light-rail vehicles from traffic and speeding up the operations to a more subway-like service pattern. All the new lines are more tram-train than streetcar in keeping with this conception and the old lines are gradually getting upgraded.
There is a separate streetcar network that is run with vehicles that are more similar to a streetcar. Those are supposed to run in more mixed traffic and could conceivably become low-floor vehicles in the future. At the moment those are all run with restored vintage vehicles from all around the world. It's basically a rolling museum or streetcars/trams.
was the F line not operating?
Thank you for the video. However no F line cars. Not running at the time?
Not running at the time :(
@@timosha21 Drat, to bad.
Did You Film Caltrain Or Is That For San Jose?
Stay tuned for the video to premiere and future videos ;)
Το πρόβλημα δεν είναι τα διαφορετικά είδη μετακίνησης (light rail, metro, subway, trolleys, buses (diesel engines) και cable cars). Καθένα από αυτά επιτελεί άλλο είδος μετακίνησης, λ.χ. το light rail είναι πιο "αστικό", το metro βγαίνει και προς τα προάστια, ο προαστιακός κατευθύνεται πέρα από τα προάστια, στις κοντινότερες πόλεις, τα λεωφορεία και τα trolleys να συνδέουν τις ενδιάμεσες περιοχές με τα μέσα "σταθερής τροχιάς" και το cable car έχει μείνει για τις... ανηφόρες και τους τουρίστες. Το πρόβλημα είναι αν όλα αυτά τα μέσα έχουν α. ενιαίο εισιτήριο και β. αν οι κάτοικοι του San Francisco επιλέγουν για τις μετακινήσεις τους όλα αυτά τα μέσα ή αυτά κινούνται... άδεια!
Why no historic streetcars from F or E line?
E line is currently suspended due to COVID as of recording date, I believe
@@SparenofIria Indeed!!!
I was in San Francisco (from Australia) at the same time! F line was suspended due to road works. L line was also suspended (partially replaced by the S as shown in the video). SFO generally much quieter than usual. Public transport loadings lighter - as shown in the videos.
1:21 Cable car goese right through the red light like its not even there?
They have their own lights because the cables that pull them run constantly.
No F line and its historic streetcars?
They were not in operation... :(
What's Next?
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the question?
@@timosha21 Which Overview Are You Doing Next?
@@brendanu1680 Follow me on Patreon where I share updates about future trips and videos or stay tuned ;) :D
They really ordered the loudest tram stock possible huh
It was built exclusively for MUNI.
@@videonut1988 Not really. Muni's LRV4 is just a modified Siemens S200. The same vehicle is used in a bunch of other places. The same factory in Sacramento makes them for Calgary in Canada. And of course, these are just US versions of Siemens's European spec vehicles so they're not exactly uncommon. But they are a more tram-train type of vehicle rather than a streetcar/regular tram.
For a smart city, they are not fast enough due by human errors. We need AI to implement SFMTA. Drivers can handle those transportations more efficiently.
