Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Public transport - Swiss style. We continue our RTC tour of Bern-s tramways aboard a vintage electric tram and accompanying steam tram. Starting at a disused, soon to be demolished tram depot, then passing through the state of the art new depot. We negotiate the cobbled streets of the old town, continuing through the leafy suburbs to the modern outskirts, passing the Bern Expo Center and modern stadiums.

Amazing that this moderately sized city has this beautiful and functioning people-mover. This is the equivalent of NYC, London, Chicago systems. Not some silly tourist gimmick, but a system with beautiful trains, to get large numbers of people from place to place.
There are no American cities of comparable size with anything comparable. Shame on the USA, for destroying its 1930s-1960s infrastructure. Most cities had tram systems like this. Now, a transportation desert.

Thanks for show Bern with tham driver's eye. Best way for learn a City is pass it on a public transport.
Hmm, I think that touristic steam tram don't use coal for engine because it -smoke- in fact it's pure water vapor i. e. it's too white. /It can be a 'gas-on-water-engine', for example. / Or used coal engine, tho take a coal combustion inhibitor, for example, HHO. Otherwise, the 'green movement' would have banned such a car in the city. Cheers!

If we only had -public transport- like that in the US! That tram depot was really amazing; enormous and clean (typical Swiss clean. The Swiss have obviously made good investments in all of their transport infrastructure, something rarely done in other countries, save a few. Excellent video, a great part 2 to the first one.

It was fun to see all the indulgent smiles people were giving because of it being a vintage tram. I noticed a lot of folks taking photos. Were the photographers aware that your tram was passing by? They seemed to be waiting for you, rather that being surprised.

I like your music again!
Very attractive bridge at 12: 15 - 13: 30. and some distracting ads at the end of it.
Is that Angela Merkel enjoying a pint on that ad at 14: 40?
My gosh, what an ugly thing that Expo place is.

Interesting tour through Bern Tim and fun listening to (I presume) you chatting with the tram-driver. -
I wonder which country you prefer to travel in?
On to part 3. -

I live many years in England, then in Munich in germany, then Switzerland, then I chose back to UK. I have never regretted coming back to UK. My bones will rest easier here.

I had to LOL at that tram passing R-to-L near the start. If you were an Aussie, you'd understand why. If you aren't, it's probably better if I don't explain why. :)

another big American car at 30: 10
