World's Longest Trams in Budapest (2017)In Budapest, there are the world's longest trams. How long are they? In the video: 4:40 Ganz CSMG / KCSV-7 6:58 Düwag / LHB TW6000 8:50 Siemens Combino Supra 12:00 ČKKD Tatra T5C5 14:35 CAF Urbos 3 14:50 World's Longest Tram Welcome to Budapest. In this episode, we'll explore the tram network in this large city. I invite you to watch. So far, we haven't shared much about the city itself. As you know, Budapest is the capital of Hungary. About one in six residents of the country live there, totaling around 1.76 million people. This is quite similar to the population of Warsaw. Both cities have been competing in recent years in this regard. Historically, Budapest was founded in the 19th century through the merger of three cities: Buda and Obuda on the right bank of the Danube, and Pest on the left. One part of the city lies on the plain, while the other is on the hills, adding to its diversity. The Pöivo, which connected Budapest, also had a tram service in Buda and Pest, launched several years before the merger. Trams have been in use here for over 150 years. This event happened in 1866, the same year, but a few months earlier than in Warsaw. The network is about 150 km long. It’s a few kilometers longer than Prague's, but much shorter than Berlin's. Trams serve most of the city, covering 19 of the 23 districts. The NER 60 rack-and-pinion railway is also part of the network; however, I will show you which one in a separate section. The network features distinctive half-ring tram routes that encircle the city. In Budapest, bidirectional trams are standard. The entire city relies on vehicles with two driver's cabs and doors on both sides of the train. Other types are not used here. Using unidirectional vehicles would be nearly impossible because most tram terminuses end in cul-de-sacs and crossings where the tracks change direction. Crossings, also known as billboards, are strategically placed throughout the tram network to minimize disruptions to car traffic. Interestingly, when parking at the end of the line is full, additional platforms are used, located before the actual end of the line. We'll start our overview of the rolling stock and lines with tram number 2. This route is considered one of the most scenic in Europe from a tourist perspective, thanks to its ride along the Danube River and its proximity to the Hungarian Parliament Building. From the deck of a classic Ganz tram, we enjoy views of Budapest's bridges, buildings, and the hills on the Buda side. For most of the day, the two-car lines run every five minutes, and during rush hours, they're even more frequent, with departures every two to three minutes. Ganz trams were built in the 1960s and 1970s, with some rebuilt in the 1990s. This tram has three sections and a high-floor design. These trams are iconic in Budapest and are often seen speeding along the Danube embankments and the Liberty Bridge. They are 26 meters long. No. M2. The district of high-rise buildings, located away from downtown, can be seen from the window of tram number 69. This line typically acts as a feeder, providing the direct route to the first metro line. It is also the only rail line reaching Újpálotá, although other parts of the city are usually reached by bus. To keep its aging fleet running, the operator is buying used trams that were taken out of service in Hanover. German Marek Duwak and LHB trams are designed to serve both high and low platforms. In Budapest, only low platforms are available, so to serve these stops, automatically unfolding steps are installed in all tram doors. These trams are 28 meters long. One of the busiest routes is the half-ring formed by lines 4 and 6. They run along a stretch called the Grand Boulevard, which forms Budapest's downtown ring. Small barriers are placed along the route to prevent cars from entering the tracks. An interesting stop along this route is Margaret Bridge, with a stop in its center—lines 4 and 6 run every two minutes on their shared section during peak hours. Line 6 is also the only tram operating 24 hours a day. Lines 4 and 6 are operated entirely with Zemens Combino trams. These are very long, measuring 54 meters in length. They consist of six cars, each with eight doors on each side. These were Budapest’s first all low-floor trams. The city has a total of 40 of these, each capable of carrying up to 350 passengers. This change affects Budapest's second tram route, which includes Line 1. The dedicated track is in the middle of the two carriageways of the road, which mostly has three lanes on each side. The route crosses the Danube twice, covering a distance of over 16 km in 47 minutes. The track used by line 1 is not shared with other lines on any section.By Niskopodłogowiec - April 24, 2017.

The longest tram of the world in Budapest, CAF Urbos 3 (2016)The first 56-meters long CAF trams in Budapest entered service in March 2016. They can transport up to 345, low-floor and air conditioned. The trams were manufactured in the Basque Country, Spain. BKV bought 12 of the long version, some of them already in service on line 1. ---- Az első 56 méter hosszú CAF villamos 2016 márciusában állt forgalomba a budapesti 1-es villamosvonalon. Jelenleg a világ leghosszabb villamosai (2 méterrel hosszabbak az eddigi rekordtartó Combinonál), egyszerre 345 utast tudnak szállítani.By ikarus28000 - May 18, 2016.

Budapest tram (2013)The Budapest tram has a route network of 155 kilometers and is operated by the Budapest Transport Company, BKV Zrt. It runs at a voltage of 600V, and the track width is 1435mm (standard gauge). The route network consists of 24 lines, with seven additional lines. In 2011, 393 million passengers used the tram to travel through Budapest. The following types are currently in operation: - CSM6 (1967-1978). - T5C5 (1980-1984). - TW6000 (1974-1993), taken over from Hanover in 2002. - Comino (2006-2007). Particularly in urban areas, the persistent service, sometimes available every 3 minutes, is remarkable.By Strassenbahnfreak - September 29, 2013.

Budapest Tram - Line 1 (2012)The Budapest tram line 1 runs between Vörösvári út and Közvágóhíd. During rush hour, additional trams on line 1A operate on a shorter route between Közvágóhíd and Üllői út. This line was built as a rapid tram line, so many stops have wide stations, and most of the time, the line doesn´t interfere with road traffic. However, as you can see, most of the time, fast roads surround it, and the noise of cars is always present. But I think it is still an interesting tram line to see. This line is served by triple-traction Tatra T5C5 trams. Also recorded was a track watering truck. This video shows the state as it was in 2012. The line was later extended, and the stations were renovated. Additionally, it is now primarily served by the new CAF Urbos low-floor trams, with some Tatra trams still in use for weekday service.By Klingl3r - October 18, 2012.

Nostalgic trams on Tram Line No. 2 in Budapest (2011)From June 2 to August 28, 2011, every Saturday afternoon and evening, two nostalgic half-timbered trams operated between Boráros tér and Jászai Mari tér on Tram Line No. 2, which is considered the most beautiful tram line in Budapest. The two trams shown in the video are over 100 years old: the brown S-type tram, number 611, was built in 1909 and served with the old BKVT* company. The other one is the yellow L-type tram, number 436, built in 1911 and operated by the former BVVV** company. Both trams were renovated in 1987 and have been part of the nostalgic fleet of BKV Ltd. since then. As a result, BKV Ltd. organized this program. *BKVT = Budapesti Közúti Vaspálya Társaság **BVVV = Budapesti Városi Villamos VasútBy Oleever07 - September 4, 2011.

Budapest tram: The eight-axle articulated trams from Ganz (2010)The eight-axle full railcars were delivered in 1967-1971(1301-1370) and 1972-1978(1400-1481), a total of 151 units. The vehicles can also run in double traction, a feature previously used on Line 4. There are now very few fully double trains running on the line, as the Combinos have almost completely taken over this route. A picture of a double traction can also be seen in the video. In 1997, 30 examples were modernized by Ansaldo, incorporating chopper control and other minor adjustments, such as door openers. From the outside, you can recognize them primarily by the single-arm pantograph. Some non-modernized examples have also received minor adjustments, such as door openers or door closing warning lights. Three examples of this type are now used as driving school vehicles. These eight-axle articulated trams were built between 1967 and 1971 (1301-1370) and 1972 and 1978 (1400-1481). They can also be used in double traction, such as on the highly frequented Line 4. However, today, there are only a few double tractions left because the Combinos have taken over this line. Thirty trams were modernized in 1997 by Ansaldo. They have a chopper steering, a single-arm pantograph (which can be easily distinguished from non-modernized ones due to this feature), and door openers. Some of the non-modernized trams also got door openers and a door closing warning lamp. Data/data: Name: CSMG.2. Length: 26.9 m. Weight: 33600 kg. Axle load: 7560 kg. Vmax: 60 km/h. Engines/motors: 4x66 kW. Capacity: 32 seats and 171 standing places.By Klingl3r - November 6, 2010.

BKV Budapest Tram Type UV (2009)These locally manufactured vehicles were built between 1954 and 1965, based on pre-World War II designs. Quite popular among tram enthusiasts around the world, BKV recently celebrated its 50 years of service with an elaborate "UV Day" parade. Usually runs in pairs, or pairs with a central trailer car (some of which were built in 1939). The ancient UV vehicles had no heating installed and were phased out in 2008. The idea that UV stands for Új villamos (new tram) is a widespread urban legend.By Public Transport Worldwide - February 16, 2009.
