The metro station/ pedestrian underpass and the abandoned metro bridge tells me that sufficient money was budgeted to complete the line but most of it was lost to corruption.
I laughed so hard on the part of "one station and zero kilometers". I was caught completely off guard. I was expecting something like a 3-5 km line or something...
It was very smart of the Omsk city government to realize how cost effective bargin is even compared to rail traffic and to convert the convetional metro into a gondoliero-service.
You're back! I remember the original video, it was during the peak of the pandemic and I discovered Letov's music via it! I was planning to visit one day, but unfortunately history went on another path. I still love Letov's music, and I wish I could get "A Long Happy Life" on LP, which nowadays is unobtainable where I live. I hope you're doing well.
When this video was suggested, I thought the video was somehow familiar in the presentation style. Thanks for making new video. I was right this video is from a known but forgotten channel.
This is a video that shows how good are the old stuff. I live in Bucharest‚ Romania‚ and here are still being used old trams on most lines‚ and those still keep going somehow.
They’re essentially metal boxes with electrical motors and metal wheels. Very few moving parts. If they don’t rot away, motors are serviced and wheels replaced they work forever.
You're alive! This is a reupload right? I remember watching this video a few years ago, but with a different (female) voice over. Edit: I should've watched it in full before commenting :D
I thought Seattle had the shortest metro in the world, with its 2 station monorail. That being said, I have never been to Omsk, despite living in the largest city in Siberia for about 7 years. I will probably see this metro one day. Thanks for the video.
i do sometimes wiish even a rich country like Sweden could also appreciate maintaining older but still working rolling stock instead of scrapping them once they get a chance
Volgograd has a tram tunnel, so the idea isn't unheard of in Russia. But the existing tunnel segments are fairly short and disconnected, and building the tunnel portals and on-ramps for trams to go through would be very expensive for a city that can barely maintain its current trackage.
A half-built subway tunnel that never came to anything? There's also some parallels in the way Cincinnati lost its streetcars. The Cincinnati Street Railway deferred maintenaince during the 30s and 40s, until the streetcars where such a rickety catastrophe in the 50s that few people lamented the move to busses and trolleybusses.
The amount of sarcasm of this video has no limit. Love it! :D
HE UPLOADED, HE’S ALIVE

No way, Railways of the World uploaded ! Glad to see you back and with another banger video. Hope you are doing alright.

Same here
russia moment happened

Oh, the legend is back. Glad you are alive :)

Ah the lovely melancholy at the end. Keep it up!
Я уж и забыл, что этот канал существует
Truly majestic. The pyramids of Giza pale in comparison to this marvel of human engineering.
Glad to see you back uploading! Nice video
Glad to see a resurrection of the channel

Omsk Metro, 100% up time and on time.
Welcome back, again!!!
You are the legend for me.
Perfect!!! Was waiting alot!!!
💚💚🌟🌟. Hi there, my friend! What you’ve shown is incredibly beautiful and fascinating. Thanks for sharing! Have a lovely day! ☀☕🖐
Welcome back!
I love your sense of humour. I've never been to Omsk, but I'm sure it'll look much like home when seen from the inside of a KTM-5 or ZiU-9.
I knew I saw this vid before. Years before. But it was uploaded days ago. Weird. Oh and then I saw the last chapter. Okay. :)
May your KTM-5 serve you well

You are back!! No wayyy

100% wheelchair accessible. Indeed!
.. Great video. Like me ..
Best metro 🥳🥳🥳
I hope the rails will be repaired by next 5 year update. Omsk you can do it!
5:41 isn’t it that street that got famous because of how it looks during spring and autumn seasons?
Exactly, ул. 11-я линия
We need a Chelyabinsk metro review 😂😂😂
Heroiam vična slava,
Is it a reupload? I have a really strong deja vu feeling
oh 8:50 nics job dude ; )
That's a very depressing end for a video about a tram system
western trams like Spanish CAF or similar would not survive first winter weekend, so long live russian trams, even with frozen LCDs
The Great Trial express, all aboard to Germania
Why doesn't omsk copy Brussels' Pre-Metro idea?

Guess the one common thing between Omsk and Cincinnati.
A half-built subway tunnel that never came to anything?

7:00 I don't think that's a Stadler tram...
It’s called Stadler 62103. Belkommunmash and Stadler Rail have a joint enterprise in Minsk… or had until 2022.
Когда пчелиная война 2?
Do not try to leave Omsk!
Please invest in a professional voice over…
