Τέτοια τάξη τέτοια αλφαδιά δεν έχω ξαναδεί! Εύγε!
To clarify to everyone, this was filmed on possibly a Saturday afternoon where it's at it's emptiest, this isn't at peak times which is when it's the busiest and most packed, trust me they're used
I completely trust u 'coz all the system is unusually (for US) rightly done: high speed, seldom located stations, fully dedicated lines, not waiting at traffic-lights.
@@Whitebeard79outOfRus I don't get what you mean, retry that comment
@@poshmalosh14 I think this is what he meant:
I believe you. Because the system was unusually well designed (for the US). High speeds, good distance between stations, separated rail tracks from car traffic, therefore no wait time at traffic lights. 😉
Whitebeard79outOfRus then there is Detroit q line
It wouldn’t be Saturday because (at least they used to) only run the newer cars on the weekend.
I love the trax system. I use t to get to school! But they need to update the blue line! Badly!!! They are constantly having doors malfunction, sometimes the heating doesn’t work when it’s 17 degrees, and it is a real pain to get my bike up the stairs.
Agreed, I love TRAX but living on the Blue Line feels like living in 1999. The doors and heating break more often now despite their claims of a "state of good repair".
As a former Trax operator, I can answer some of the questions here. If it is a one car train, it was filmed on a Sunday or during a non-peak revenue period. The empty 4 cars are either about to see heavy service, just finished heavy service or are being routed back to the railyard. On an average weekday rush hour evening, I would load up to 100 passengers per stop. It gets used I promise.
How much does it pays.
@@rasheedwhite4647 16.00 per during training, 18.44 after with raises every 6 months.
@@chloewoods5683 that's it , hows the cost of living in Salt lake city. Seems like someone would struggle with that salary.
How does one buy ticket??
I did not see any entry gate
For local fares it is 2.50, each platform has ticket kiosks at each end. If your kiosk isn't working properly, just board the train and at you destination you can pay. UTA police regularly patrol the trains and check tickets and the fine is hefty for failure to pay.
Awesome Video
Great video!
I assume that if I buy a ticket from a machine, I can use the same ticket to transfer onto say from a green train to a blue or red train. Additional question I have is how do I buy fares if I need to take a Trax and then connect to a ski bus? Do I need to buy two separate fares?
Nice vidéo !
Very awesome system! :) I want to visit SLC and ride on it. (Well I'm passing through Utah to get to Colorado on greyhound next month and will have a few hours stop there maybe I can get the chance to ride around a bit)
After living in CO for half a year, I've found it isn't really what I've expected (while there are great opportunities in Denver the cost of living is relatively expensive, so I ended up moving south to Colorado Springs which doesn't have great public transit). I've decided after some research and really looking into long-term strategic growth, I will be moving to SLC this May. This is because the UTA system looks convenient (especially frontrunner) and good job opportunities matched with a decent cost of living in comparison to CO's big cities. I've found that my personal preference is a smaller city with the convenience of light-rail, and a higher millennial demographic (late 20s to mid 30s). Colorado Springs is better as a retirement town. SLC is also closer to the mountains and airport which is great so that I can visit family in CA without much trouble. :)
4 units connected? In comparsion, transport authorities in my city (Warsaw) is afraid of using trams longer than 30 meters, while crowds at main routes gets bigger and bigger.
Tumken Here in Arizona we have 3 car trains for the light rail and 1 car for streetcar.
Everything is bigger in America, even trains 😝
Also This city in Utah only has 200,000! LOL!! Warsaw needs longer trains
Warsaw has almost 2 millions of people. Transport in my city is badly organised - public transport is usually crowded.
So there is work to do in Warsaw.
Of course there is!
In august I´m moving to SLC, I´m going to the U of U, and I wanted to know if there are some routes that go all around the campus or if they drop you on a certain entrance of campus. Also are you allowed to get in with a bike? And do they work until midnight?
Public transport from where I come from its REALLY bad, so this system is completely new for me but I´m really excited.
I'm not sure as far as bus routes go, but the campus does have it's own bus system bringing people around the campus. Also, the Red Line Trax terminates right near the Medical Center and there are two or three other stops on campus.
The TRAX Red Line passes through the U of U campus and terminates near U of Utah Medical Center. It has many connections with both the campus system and the numerous UTA bus routes on campus.
Это целый поезд !
They really should get new longer trams. The dead space between cars could be used to fit more people.
Wow! What's the speed limit downtown???
25 on Main Street
25-30
Some of the stops are not wheelchair accessible
Seems like haven't gotten the signalization quite right
Very nice video, - just hate those 'all-over-advert' ones. What make are the trams.? Oh if only we had that amount of space in the UK for our streets, and they looked very clean which is more than can be said for most of ours.
They're a blend of Siemens SD-100, SD-160, and S70 units.
Do you know if similar models run in other cities? Maybe Denver?
I live in the UK I'm afraid, so my knowledge of 'foreign' trams is only what I glean from videos, - your excellent ones mainly. Whilst I collect model trams - none British - I hasten to add, not that many 'motorized' UK ones are made, I just love the variety Worldwide.
Denver has the same models of SD-100/160, yep! Same with San Diego, and I think a handful of Canadian systems, too. They're not terribly popular anymore, and I wish UTA would move entirely to the S70.
Actually they are Kynky Sharyos if Im not mistaken.
Beer adverts in Utah, what's the world coming to. EDIT to put in a ?
I went there last year, and it felt a lot more secular than i thought.
The sale and advertising of alcohol is legal in Utah.
Wow they look the same as sandiego
And phoenix
@@isaiahshultz4296 nope
Same trains as calgary
If these trains were in india they would have been full and crowded
Shashikant Patel if these trains were in India people would ride on the top of it and only 3 people would have paid their fare.
India should do more for the well being of it's peoples.
@naz de in Delhi metro people don't do this spitting Delhi metro is clean
@@CityLifeinAmerica no in Delhi metro all people pay fares
@@allardfreichmann3733 India is doing welfare now they are focusing on public transportation in various cities like metro systems in jaipur Bangalore Delhi hyderabad kochi Mumbai lucknow
Beautiful video but very sad to see those long trams always empty. Not the same in France.
As a Salt Lake-area resident, I do wish more people would use them, but I can also tell that most of this was not filmed at peak times. I take the Red Line between my home and my job and it gets fairly packed.
This is what i was thinking about peak times. In any case I hope more frequentation and development for public transportation in the US for the next decades. US cities needs this !
I have ridden this I gets busy during peek hours
Remember this is a US city with only 200,000 people. If you want to see full trains, look to cities like New York, LA, or come back to these during peak hours.
Deutsche? ?????
Deutsche was ^^
