The Stockholm Metro is similarly designed. There are 3 "main" lines: Green, Red and Blue with 7 "branch" lines in total: 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19. Lines 13-19 are from older tram lines and are on the older Red and Green "main" lines. In 1975, when the Blue Line (the only line that wasn't based off of older tram lines) opened, the Red and Green Lines had the numbers 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 24, 27, 28 and 29 (Lines 15, 24, 27, 28 and 29 were for fill-in lines), much more than today's 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19, so they wondered what the Blue Line should be called. At the time, it only had one branch, so it would then be logical to name it 16 and 26 (the latter one for the fill-in line), but they instead named it 10 and 20. It changed again when another branch if the Blue Line opened and the numbers were changed to 10 and 11. Also, now we have the problem with the currently under construction Yellow Line. What's it gonna be called? I suggest 15 and 16, but that's just me...
Sad but true story: I'm German and always watch the English version of your videos as the Wiener Version is completely incomprehensible if you're not used to that dialect :D
For Austrians and daring non-German speakers, here's the video in Austrian Dialect: th-cam.com/video/yTw5ftOReWw/w-d-xo.html Also, to be clear, I'm not saying the Viennese tram network is confusing, but the way trams are numbered is. Public transport in Vienna as a whole is actually amazing.
The tram is the best way to move around the centre in Zagreb. If only they had PROPER AIRCONDITIONING PEOPLE WOULDN'T DIE OF HEATSTROKE EVERY TIME THEY ENTER THE TRAM
Some additional interresting facts: The lines 1 and 2 used to be ringlines clockwise and counterclockwise around the Ring. Only in 2008 they became through-lines. With the radial lines: The 20ies lines both run solely on the north side of the river danube. The line 30 does as well but it is just a shortened line 31. There is a local train, which runs from Vienna to Baden. Within those two cities the trains run on tramway tracks, outside of the towns the line runs like a train, with no stopping at trafic lights and even freight traffic. There is a small part, Feldgasse in Guntramsdorf, that is oficially a railway and not a tramway track but runs on the street. In this road even freight trains pass through.They use regular tramway vehicles but with less doors, more comfortable seats. Interrestingly the line uses three different voltages on the journey. Even though in Vienna, that line shares the same tracks with regular tram lines, the line is operated by a different company. In the abbreviation for the line, that is also shown on signs or train direction indicators is WLB, meaning Wiener Lokalbahn (Vienna Local Train).
Tangential lines were numbered in the 1907 systematically from inner to outer. 1: Ring. 2: Zweierlinie. 3,4: Fasangasse, Ungargasse, Pilgramgasse. 5,6,7: Kaiserstraße, Reinprechtsdorferstraße, Gudrunstraße. 8: Gürtel. and so on. 12/14 were the train station round lines. 15: Wienerberg. 16: Stadlau. 17: Leopoldau. 13: Extended line number 3. 18: Extended line number 8.
Same in Amsterdam. There used to be 25 tram lines. Now some are gone, some became buses. Line 15 is a bus, line 19 a tram. Yet there are also bus lines called numbered like 314. Ow and the metro is Line 50 till 55 (because why not??). Renumbering also get the same 'butbutbut my line number!!!' nostaligia suckers (they tried to do it when the new metro line opened in 2018, but didn't go through sadly).
Then I would like to introduce you to the Miway bus system in Mississauga, Ontario: 107 S goes to Islington Station. 107 N goes to Meadowvale Town Centre. But 107N goes west from Islington on the transit way and then north on the Winston Churchhill Blvd to Meadowvale. A year later, I got confused between Vienna and Vösendorf.
I love system here in Wrocław, Poland. Trams are oneortwodigit, buses has three. 7 in beginning means temporary, so 710 is temporary sililar to line 10. 1xx are regular, 2xx are night buses. Letters are for faster bus lines (omits some stops on the line).
Its nice seeing other people from Vienna trying to explain this to others :D. At this point i have a lot of them memorized... but theres so many its hard to get them all!
3:33 also don‘t forgrt that the trams 25, 26, 33, 52, 58, 60 and 67 also need to be renamed as they aren‘t „radial“ But yeah except for those and about 200 other exceptions this makes total sense🤙🏼
Yesss! I've watched the video till the very end and heard this amazing chime! It really "fits" Vienna somehow, together with the voice of Franz Kaida. So classical and straightforward at the same time. just like Vienna.
We use a simple three-digit number code system for our bus lines from 1 to 999, until we expanded our transit system to have 1020 bus lines. Now we have letter plus numbers, number plus description, letter plus numbers plus description, and some buses straight up don't have a code anymore.
Danke für die Erklärung - wohne seit lange in Wien und jetzt weiß ich warum mein lieber D wagen "D" heißt! 😅Love your sense of humour - great channel! 😊
I live in Tokyo, and I'm confused af by all of this, just number the lines from 1 starting in the center and move out from there, done. And if you want to make it even easier for tourist, just add colors.
My city has numbers and colors and the colors basically tell you what part do the city they take you to. Green is for roughly the west and a bit of south-west for example so all lines that go through my part of the city are green. Pretty easy system I can tell that one of my lines arrives at our huge main station even without my glasses because I can see the green. Our numbers are 1 to 16 but over the years somewhere we lost the lines 5 and 6 and kind of also the 13 so we now only have the others left and a whole bunch of busses. Still not that bad or confusing. Busses are numbered 60 and up though which is a bit weird and all the full numbers like 60, 70 etc. are main lines of special importance. Everything above 100 is for busses that go out of the city too.
Oooo now I get it. I remember being randomly in the gift shop in the middle of Karlsplatz buying Mozartkugel and listening to chill song about Straßenbahn and wondering why the hell somebody did a song about traffic... Thank for closure =D
Problem happens when you need to divert, change, deactivate or start new lines. If you had 30 tram lines and then 25, you can't change the numbers really because people get used to the idea of "I can take that 17 to get to the botanical gardens" and it takes time. In my city, we have like 10 empty spots in tram numbers for trams that last existed some 20 years ago and they prefer to add new numbers as to not confuse people (but some lines got reactivated after 18 years with small route change and apparently that's for the best)...
I couldn't care less about Vienna's tram system but TapaKapa's videos are good enough that if he made one, I could watch a 3 hour tutorial on how to toast bread and still be entertained.
This is also not only for English speakers interesting, I am self from Vienna🇦🇹 and I never ever knew it, it is very interesting what my city's tramway system is like. 👌
In my city to make bus numbers they do it in a way that shows which interchange does that line go to (mosly, you cna't make it perfect). For example (I might miss a few lines.) (Lines that terminate are written): Interchange 1: 6, 9, 16, 19, 29, 290, 53, 67, 68, 90. Interchange 2: 2, 3, 3A, 4, 7, 11, 28, 280, 43 Interchange 3: 29, 290, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 35R, 38, AU2 Interchange 4: 1, 21, 30, 31, ME, 1V, 2V (V: Tram) End stop 1: 12, 22, ME End stop 2: 2, 20 Lines 5, 15 and 6, 16 go on similar paths.
Die Frage ist: Wer fragt sich beim Einsteigen in die Tram, ob die Nummerierung der Tram sinvoll ist, anstatt sich zu fragen, ob einen die bestiegene Tram dort hin bringt, wo man hin will?
I live in Singapore. We don't have as many lines as Vienna but their namings are misleading as hell. We have the East-West line that goes from the east to the west which is fine, then we we have the North-South line that goes to the west, North-East line that goes to the south, Circle line which does not go in a circle and Downtown line whoever know what Downtown means...
This is completely random but Bydgoszcz tram line no. 3 is temporarily out of service due to road works and tram lines 1, 2, 5, 6 and 9 and bus lines 51, 56, 58, 94, 98, 99 and all night bus lines will be taking new routes.
my city doesnt have any trams but buses are very common where i'm from I dunno why I'm explaining this but here goes: -There are two main categories 1.public(Run by Government) 2.private(Run by normal people) [both are public transport btw...] 1.The ones run by the government are specific to each state of the country and have their own initials and run between different districts. 2.The others are again divided into 3-4 and can be distinguished by their colours: a) Green - within the city area b) Blue - Connects the city to the suburban and other areas of the district C) Pink - Long Distances connecting different districts or two ends of the district D) Whatever (Owners even have like artwork on it as paint similar to graffiti and stuff) - runs between the different districts connectinng major towns. The green and blue bus stops everywhere but the others only at important or populated places Their are divisions like 1.Ordinary(stops everywhere) 2.Limited Stop.(what the name says) 3.Town to Town(lesser than limited stop) 4.Fast Passenger(lesser than town to town)
I'm from a tiny village in Nether Austria (we don't have pigman-zombies) and when I had my first job in Vienna I was shook by the tram system. I also never knew *when* the tram would go, so I would always be panicking out that I'd be terribly late.
My favorite thing about our tram system in Vienna is that people don’t seem to be able to agree if it’s “O” like the letter, or “0” like the number. And they also don’t budge once you try to convince them.
Vienna is probably in the running for biggest network by total number of tram stops. Trust the Austrians to come up a system for everything even if one is theoretically not needed. 3:56: I really hope when I come to Vienna I can still find the comically deep male tram voice. Wien ist wohl im Rennen fuer das groeszte Netzwerk um Gesamtzahl Straszenbahnhaltestellen.
Also other transports depend on this system. Buses in Vienna are extended by "A" and "B", around Vienna they get a number in front of the line, as higher this number, as more far away from the city they go (for example 2xx, 3xx, ... (xx stands, in best case, for the tram line which the bus extends)). Suburban train lines are called S10, S20, S30, ..., if they cross the City (Station Wien Mitte), they are called S1, S2, S3, ....
I was in Vienna some months ago and I was cracking my head about why there was a tram line ZERO, and i rode it just for the fun of it. Now this video ruined it T__T

This summed up 2 parts of Viennese culture perfectly. 1) always was like that always stays like that 2) always have something to complain about

my city doesnt have any trams but buses are very common where i'm from
I dunno why I'm explaining this but here goes:
-There are two main categories 1.public(Run by Government) 2.private(Run by normal people) [both are public transport btw...]
1.The ones run by the government are specific to each state of the country and have their own initials and run between different districts.
2.The others are again divided into 3-4 and can be distinguished by their colours:
a) Green - within the city area
b) Blue - Connects the city to the suburban and other areas of the district
C) Pink - Long Distances connecting different districts or two ends of the district
D) Whatever (Owners even have like artwork on it as paint similar to graffiti and stuff) - runs between the different districts connectinng major towns.
The green and blue bus stops everywhere but the others only at important or populated places
Their are divisions like
1.Ordinary(stops everywhere)
2.Limited Stop.(what the name says)
3.Town to Town(lesser than limited stop)
4.Fast Passenger(lesser than town to town)
I'm from a tiny village in Nether Austria (we don't have pigman-zombies) and when I had my first job in Vienna I was shook by the tram system. I also never knew *when* the tram would go, so I would always be panicking out that I'd be terribly late.
My favorite thing about our tram system in Vienna is that people don’t seem to be able to agree if it’s “O” like the letter, or “0” like the number.
And they also don’t budge once you try to convince them.
You can’t use confusing to describe anything that even my mum understands.
hahahah ich lieb den powidl :D schönes video, genau kompliziert genug
*Why am I watching this?*
I mean, it's not like I ever go there...
Because it's fun to learn stuff.
@@Tapakapa that's definitely true 😊
ok so I'm actually in Vienna right now and youtube suggested me this video ^^ handy knowledge
put up with it for the beautiful vintage rolling stock
A very interesting video.
Thanks for uploading.
Vienna is probably in the running for biggest network by total number of tram stops.
Trust the Austrians to come up a system for everything even if one is theoretically not needed.
3:56: I really hope when I come to Vienna I can still find the comically deep male tram voice.
Wien ist wohl im Rennen fuer das groeszte Netzwerk um Gesamtzahl Straszenbahnhaltestellen.
Its a woman voice now! Dont worry you cant understand her either
That old announcer tone at the end made me a little sad. I miss the old announcer
Great video, and yeah have some natural engagement since you really need it.
Also other transports depend on this system. Buses in Vienna are extended by "A" and "B", around Vienna they get a number in front of the line, as higher this number, as more far away from the city they go (for example 2xx, 3xx, ... (xx stands, in best case, for the tram line which the bus extends)). Suburban train lines are called S10, S20, S30, ..., if they cross the City (Station Wien Mitte), they are called S1, S2, S3, ....
Please have my algorithm point KappaMan.
I visited Vienna a few years ago. Great city, plenty to see. I just asked Google Maps where I needed to go and it told me.
Can you make a video abut the USTRAB?
I live in Vienna and i don‘t get confused but still some things i didn‘t so good video👍🏻
I was in Vienna some months ago and I was cracking my head about why there was a tram line ZERO, and i rode it just for the fun of it. Now this video ruined it T__T
I've always been confused with trams in Vienna, all i know is 62/60 trams go from my place lol
