I’ve been living in Budapest for 4 years know, and according to my experience, here is the best public transportation in the Europe in a price/efficiency rate, public transport is rarely late (hello Berlin), during the day, according to my own experience again, usually it is a bit faster to get somewhere you need by using a public transport rather than a car within the city, so great job in that Budapest!
Definitely top 3 for me 😄
Rarely late... if there is no snow. 😂
Gyere Bécsbe…;) a legjobb ott kezdődik, ami lerak kb. mindenhol ház előtt. ;)
@@TheTysonkidd Igaz)
Hey! Nothing against my public transport system! (I am from Berlin)
Some years ago Budapest took the world record in the longest tram with the Siemens Combino
Then just to make sore Budapest doesn't lose this record, they ordered the CAF Urbos which is now the longest tram in the world
They will however lose this record in 2024, when Cologne is getting 60 metre long Alstom Citadis units
Still a while tho 😂
Excellent trams too 😀
Actually the combinos weren't the longest, as the CarGoTrams from Dresden have been slightly longer. Anyway they are still impressive.
Lol. 😆EXCELLENT !!! LOL.👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄🍾🥂💕💞
I love the open design and the focus on accessibility, it really benefits everyone. Great views of the tram out the window, and the Danube as well.
Thank you Juan 😊
I'd love to take trams & the ferry cruise on river Danube there !!! It's in my bucket list !!! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄🍾🥂💞
@@NonstopEurotrip Thank you for this video !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄🍾🥂💞
@@spark_6710 you're welcome 😁
@@spark_6710 Can i or we help somehow, to fulfill this bucket list item?
great video. Glad to see trams getting featured as they're an important part of our transport systems. Never really fancied visiting Budapest but your informative video has changed my mind. Who wouldn't want to ride 100+ miles of tram lines for a fiver. Excellent.
Ah excellent! It's a truly beautiful city 🇭🇺
There are soo many tram lines here, and many have beautiful views, sightseeing in the same time. Or more socio-exploring on the lines going to more underdeveloped areas :)
Budapest is a lovely city - one of our favourites!
I really like the fact you always show the local language and alphabet of the place you are in before fading to English. It's interesting to see just how different place names are in reality versus what native English speakers call them. Great video as always!
Thanks! Just an extra little piece I like to add. Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
True !! 👍 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄💞
@@NonstopEurotrip And without typos! I appreciate it.
@@comandanteej 👍 Hungarian is an interesting language!
@@NonstopEurotrip I was told Hungarian was very tough !?
One of my favorite cities in the world 🌍💯☺️
Mine too ❤️🙂
@@NonstopEurotrip 👍💕
Thanks! Hope we can continue to hold that status for a long time! :)
Thanks for this - an unusual video but really enjoyable. It's interesting to see the suburbs. I visited Budapest in 2018 and loved it. The public transportation system is excellent. My favourites were the tram line 2 and the iconic metro line 1.
You're welcome Craig! Line 2 is pretty cool isn't it 👍🏻😎
Great video, as always. If you are in Hungary, you should try the newly opened (end of 2021 november) Tram-Train between Szeged and the near city Vásárhely.
Next time I will, for sure 😄
Igaz. Gyönyörű a tram-train.
@@NonstopEurotrip Just a note for your info: when the Hungarians say "Vásárhely", they mean Hódmezővásárhely (the full name of the town, which is hardly ever used in oral speech). If you travel there, make sure to pay a visit ;-) to the local mayor, Péter Márki-Zay, who may become the next prime minister of the country.
@@yagi3925 let's just say, many hope he won't become the next prime minister
@ Persze. Nekem, ráadásul, nincs véleményem, mert nem vagyok Magyar. Az a Magyarok üzlete, én pedig nem avatkozom abba. Ennek ellenére, "hiszek Magyarország - drága Magyarországom - feltámadásában"!
OMG !!! THE BEST TRAM I'VE EVER SEEN !!! ❤ 💖👍👍👍I am so happy to see that's very accessible to elderly people & people on wheelchairs !!! ♿ 👍👍THIS IS FABULOUS !!!And very glad to see many using this tram !! Super clean !! I love those seats !! Nice design / prints ! River Danube !! 😍 All great things in 1 !!! Thank you so much for doing this video !! YAY !!! I LOVED this video !!! 💖💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄💕💞
Haha glad you liked it ☺️
@@NonstopEurotrip This one was so ~good !! Really good ! 👍 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🚎🎄🎶🎁💞
Wow...that is definitely a long, long tram !
I love the fact that it's 💯% accessible.
In Melbourne, Australia, while there are many accessible new trams, not every tramstop is , which can make it harder to get around
Yes Heather, everything has to match up to make the accessibility work properly 👍🏻
the trams in Melbourne are painfully slow compared to this
@@shaunmckenzie5509
But at least there is decent coverage.
I currently live on the Gold Coast. One tram route only....and the amount of complaining people do when the "powers that be" wanna extend it ! It's crazy !
As one of your newer Patrons I must say it's much better without the adverts! Excellent video as always - informative and interesting.
That's very kind of you Jon, and yes I agree about the ads 😂
Deeply enjoy the atmosphere of your videos, since the provide de actual experience of being there without music interfering or anything. Keep it up.
That's very kind, thanks! 👍🏻
Great video! Good to see urban trains featured in the channel. I hope to see more of this in the future ☺️
There will be, don't worry 😃
From what I saw the city looks wonderful. Thanks a lot I really enjoyed the video.
It absolutely is John 😊
you should visit my city man!
A late evening In August this year I rode some parts of this line. From the Central Bus Station to a place near "Heroes Square" where I found my hostel One of the best places to spot tramways in Budapest is on the Buda-side where the Gellert Bridge connects ! Old school Ganz windling through the curves! But, my first tram-ride in Budapest was in July 1988 in a Ganz UV ! BUT ! I love the older rolling stock in both Budapest and in Prague ! Sturdy and very reliable !
And after Budapest I continued down to Romania and the coast of the Black Sea. I made a little video and "toilet check" of the CFR 2:nd class coach I was riding ..! ;-) Sorry! only in swedish.. ua-cam.com/video/lii2p-FBWbY/v-deo.html
Yes I agree, I spent ages riding the trams and exploring Budapest, old and new 😃
Hey, I hope that you didn't miss the linked Ganz ICS trams which were at line 4, 6 before Siemens Combinos. Line 6 final station at Móricz Zsigmond körtér was very moody at night where the tram hugged the building around while waiting its passengers.
Great video as always and today's Video was not only informative but also interesting and 174 km of tram tracks alone in Budapest.... Insane!!! And this tram is loaded with user friendly features and undoubtedly, I would love to live in city like this in the future.
Thanks mate! Yes they're fantastic and Budapest is a great city, I could definitely live there 😁
@@NonstopEurotrip, I wish that we had these here in Toronto, for use on the only (just two) light rail lines that exist in the city.
@@Neville60001 Oh ! Toronto is a great city !! I've been there in late 80's !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄💕💞
@@NonstopEurotrip I love love this video !!! Thank you so much for this !! 💗 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄💕💞
@@spark_6710, I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself here.
That was brilliant. I wish we had a decent and cheap public transport system in Britain 😊
More trams required! 😀
A great idea add tram lines also. Very good video and good report of the whole trip- Thank you !!
Good you enjoyed it Josep 😃
You should check out Tram line 2 the next time you are in Budapest. It is really beautiful. It runs parallel the Danube and you get some great views riding it.
I've done it, I agree! 😃🇭🇺
Awesone video!! Longest tram in more ways than one!!! Thanks Max for sharing😀😀♥️♥️
Thank you Scott 😃🙏🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip 😀😀🎄
I’d love to go back to Budapest. Definitely one of the best holidays I’ve ever been on. The atmosphere is amazing and getting around is so effortless. Plus, the go karting at the hungaroring was dirt cheap, only £16! The fireworks were beautiful too.
Completely agree 🤗
awesome, thanks for the video, i live here in hungary for just over 4 years now, and learnt something new today.
Haha excellent 👍🏻
What a fantastic system. While the modern cars look great, I much prefer the look of the old cars. Imagine the tram, the buses, and metro combined ~ what great transportation they provide. There can be no question that this works just great to improve society.
Yes, the massive up side of these trams is the accessibility 😁🇭🇺
Fun to watch this video, 'cause Im Hungarian, and I use this tram every day
Excellent 😌👍🏻
3:25 line 1 has intervalls shorter than 6 minutes. I remember them coming every 2 minutes or more often during peak times. Same for combined lines 4 and 6 which run on Siemens Combino but underneath are already Siemens Avenio
Thank you ☺️
Awesome video! I also have a little correction, the longest tram line in the city is the line 41. It's like 18.5 km's long but it's a tight race:D
Thank you 🙏🏻
Really superb look at Line 1. I have not been back to Budapest since 2015 so have never seen the CAF Urbos 3.9s. The Urbos 3.5 (2200 series) was just entering service at the time. You have reminded me that Budapest needs to go back on my list. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I rode one of these when my Father and I visited Budapest in 2019. Fantastic vehicles. They also run on the 4 and 6 routes which are the busiest tram routes in the world.
Excellent 👍🏻🎅
On tram lines 4-6 you'll find Siemens Combinos. Those are pretty long too but the CAF Urbos on line 1 is longer by 2 meters. (Btw sometimes Siemens Combinos are circulating on line 1 as well)
throughly enjoyed this video, i have been on this tram in july 2019, few months before covid and lock downs. As mentioned these trams are very comfortable and convenient and during rush hour they do get packed. The end of the video where the train comes to the last stop, i remember there was a Mazda dealer across the road, saw the then new MX5 Miata in close up and sat on it.
Oh wow excellent. Glad you had fun 🎅
Very nice video, we enjoyed it.
A lot of useful information.
👍
Thanks for visiting 😊
Amazing. We need more Budapest trams stuff.
I live in Budapest, and I travelled this line in one time, but it's very good and really very long!
Absolutely yes 🤗
Such a Beautiful Tram ❤️❤️. I hope we can have this one day on Bogota.
Ooh hopefully 😃
just got back from there myself
was trying really hard to avoid the cafs and get in mileage on the ganz and tatra cars. tracked down the uv one night on light tram duties. ahh thats a tram.
Ah good times 😁
Fantastic - I will have to ride the full line the next time I am in Budapest !!
Absolutely 🤗
@@NonstopEurotrip Have you tried line 52? That's a whole different experience.
@@comandanteej Possibly, I tried a lot 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip Cool :) . Nr. 52 is the village line. It starts off like an interurban line but then turns into some suburbs and continues on a single-track first among block houses but then slowly creeps along single-floor detached houses. The other one is the southern section of 41, that one used to be really rural (but nowadays the area is getting developed :( )
Good video. Impressive trams!
Thank you 🙏🏻
One of the best tram video on UA-cam. Thank you. Greetings from Hungary.
P.S.: 11:00 One subtitle typo
0.81£, 0.96£ the second £ should be €
Thank you 🙏🏻☺️
Cool Tram, scenic too...!!
Absolutely yes 😁
Szuper video. ;) Köszönjük! Thank you! ;)
Thank you 👍🏻😊
So many Eureopean cities have excellent transport systems which make me envious because of the sad state of affairs in many parts of the UK.
We do need more trams 👍🏻
but you have teleports in red phone booths
I really like these trams 😊 and they are impressive with their length 😮
They sure are!
Before the extension, the line ran to "közvágóhíd H" (H stands for 'hév' suburba raillway in english) then it was extended around 2015-17 to "etele út, fehèrvári út" and took the role of bus line 103 which ran the exact same rout as tram line 1 today between "Népliget" and "Kelenföld vasútállomás" (trainstation). Later it was extended to "kelenföld"
Interesting fact: tram line 60 is a chogwheel railway
Another interesting fact: budapest has a total of 35 different tram lines today
I know a lot about budapest's trams and network because I'm a huge fan of it plus I live here and travell on the network daily
(Some more information, if you need: hu.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_villamosvonal-h%C3%A1l%C3%B3zata )
Very interesting, thank you ☺️
Great video !!
😃😃😃
As someone who travels with this every day I am still surprised that this is faster than Metro Line M1
Also, at 5:33 there is a small mistake, 1 isn't the longest tram-line in Budapest, it's only the 2nd one, the longest one is tram-line 41
English Wikipedia is wrong, sorry 😂
I saw this tram during my trip to Hungary. Didn't really pay attention though as I wasn't aware that it was the longest in the world. I've only taken Tram #2 which was sort of a vintage design
Line 2 has great views! 😃
That vintage design was extremely futuristic in the seventies! However, the limitations of socialist industry meant a lot of tradeoffs. Since that time they have underwent serious refurbishment/modernization but some of the shortcomings (and the lack of step-free entry) are still there.
Enjoyed it. Was in Buda
pest years ag
o. Thanks
Thanks ☺️
In my youth, tram, bus and metro schedules were really simple. On line 4/6 on the Nagykörút it simply said “every 30 seconds” throughout the day …
Nice One, a pleasant change from usual excellent rail reports. Tram rides are a fine way to view the sights of many other cities too, Amsterdam, Basle, Lisbon and many more. I mistook the title as being the longest tram route, which is the Belgian Coast line of course. but 12? sections, WOW.
Thank you Norman! I have tried to mix it up a bit with done different topics! These are great trams, very well thought out 😀
I also misunderstood :D
Only nine sections.
Great video, I enjoyed it..
I reccommend you go to the Hungarian Rail History Park, since there are also lots of interesting locomotives (most of them inoperable tho)
I have been there 😃
Budapest doesn't have any circular metro line, so the circular tram lines (Nr. 4/6 and 1) are very busy. That's why the cuty has the longest trams in the world (Siemens Combino Supra and CAF Urbos).
Absolutely yes 😊
I miss trams from when I lived in Poland 😢 the best city transport possible I think!
Absolutely Adrian ☺️
I like these videos on tramways. It's infrequent to find a full trip report on public transport. I wish you could do one on Strasbourg tramway line D, I live in Alsace, and this tramway line is very unique, you can change of country in less than an hour, and when you the tramway start going to the bridge obe the Rhin the view is just so beautiful. Hope one day you will be able to do one on it!
Ah very interesting, I've never actually been to Strasbourg, yet! 😀
@@NonstopEurotrip well hope to see you there
WOW, I live in Budapest. It's a pretty good video, WELL DONE! ;-)
Glad you liked it 🙂
Budapest!! Kellemes Ünnepeket!!
🎄🎄🎄
🎄🇭🇺😁
Ding ding! I'm a tram and I approve this video!
I thought you were a train? 😂
7:17 If they have indicators, that means they are considered "road vehicles" since they must be sharing the same lane as other road vehicles (cars/buses)... at some point. So they must have indicators like any other road vehicle!
A lot of modern trams do not, since they are completely separate from the road. Great video! :)
It is very rare that the tram line shares the lane with other vehicles, especially the main lines, like the No.1. (there are a few lines thorugh historic parts of the city, where the streets are simply too narrow for a separate lane, but that is an exception and it's not that line.) But it often turns from one street to another, crossing the lanes (like it happens at 7:17). That's when the indicator needs, like for any other vehicle when turning.
They can be on the road, but not sharing a lane with other vehicles, like pretty much all of this route, except the crossings 😚
I should add that on some of the lines turn lanes at traffic lights sometimes share the lane with the trams. Also, emergency vehicles often use the tram lane, even if it's physically separated from the other lanes (with concrete bumps).
@@NonstopEurotrip Line 1 is constructed from the 80s up to LRT standards (more-or-less), but many lines on the network still share the right-of-way with ordinary road traffic. Recently many such tracks got separated or converted to public-transport-only lanes, however there are still a lot where you can drive on the tramtracks.
it seems really fast and efficient
You may find it interesting, that the CAF Urbos 3 is also run in Sydney, Australia, on the L1 tram line, and in Newcastle, Australia, which is only 169km north of Sydney, and served by heavy rail from Sydney. Will you do the 67km long Kuttsram in Belgium, on the Flanders Coast?
I do hope to, next year 😃
Kelenföld is actually the 3rd, busiest station, because every train that comes from or goes towards Bp. Déli passes trough it, moreover, it also recieves trains from Bp. Keleti, sometimes even from Bucharest.
Thanks for the info, maybe you should edit Wikipedia lol
such a great video
from hungary
Thank you 👌🏻
Nice. Next trip on tram...Zaragoza...Spain...it.s my recommendation
A lovely place 😊
Thank you, nonstop eurotrip! I like trams too. Your video is very informative. We are immediately immersed in it. The 21 st century trams are very comfortable. In fact, as I always say, for a tram, the ideal is to do a "cab ride", you know a video where the driver generally films. But I know you don't have the right. Also, if one day, with the permission of the authorities, you can do a "cab ride" of a train, I would be delighted and you would have many more subscribers than that. I really like it all. Thank you very much.
I wish I could get a cab ride it would really enhance the videos! Glad you enjoyed this video Louis, it's doing quite well! 🚋
Regarding the comfort, these tramcars are not that good in my opinion.
- The doors are too far apart and it is difficult to get out of the inside of the tram
- The seats are very narrow, two stranges are not likely to sit besides each other on the twin-seats
- There is a lot of dead room over the bogies
- The ride is rather bumpy in the sections that have the wheel under them
The Siemens Combinos (which are 2m shorter and also circulate on line 1 at least over the weekend) are much better in all of these parameters
Actually there are cab ride videos on line1, eg. ua-cam.com/video/no2_EGAtf2Q/v-deo.html
Funny, I use this to get to school
Awesome.
🙏🏻
Wow, great vid, thanks for sharing! I have to add tho that smoking is prohibited onboard at the stations too (despite the a** smoking at the end).
Thanks 😁
Very good video
Thanks 🙏🏻
Nice video got a bit confused about what was longer the tram or the line but well produced video!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I was in Budapest just 2 months ago when I was on vacation with my family.
A lovely city 🌆😍
@@NonstopEurotrip It sure is. I was at the port. And well, I think I don't have to mention, that I have seen some REALLY old trams there.
Wow this is cool
Thanks 🙏🏻

Love this video. Going there in September. Hoping it’s not too busy. What time of year was this?
Info in the description!
Thanks for subtitles on your video because deaf people need them
You're welcome John 🙏🏻
small fact: Buda and Pest were different cities once, before a merger to Budapest took place in 1873. Buda is on the western bank of Danube; Pest on the eastern bank :)
I know 🥰
You are right in the video, Etele ut/Fehervari ut stop was (one of the) temporary terminus of the line util it got extended to Kelenfold in 2019.
Thank you 🤗
However before that for decades it was the first Buda-side stop on the South, Közvágóhíd.
@@erozsos Just a small correction, Pest-side, not Buda-side. The line didn't cross the river Danube on the southern end.
@@baksatibi right! kids, never comment in the middle of the night, while your half asleep :)

The cleanest transport vehicles in Europe are in Hungary
Excuse me?
@@JFBence I excuse you
Debateable 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip my experience
In many countries street running vehicles over a certain size must have orange lights on the side so it will be visible in bad lighting and weather conditions. It only makes sense to just have them blink in the corners.
Ah interesting, makes sense 😁
Ohh...no ! I missed this one ,no -! Sorry 😞 But,I am watching this now !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄🍾🥂💕💞
Yes 🥰
@@NonstopEurotrip 😅
A good mode of transport for a metro like Budapest, especially during peak hours. Turning it around at the end of the trip probably requires a lot of space/big turning radius.
Not required. They can drive from both ends.
There are 17 long CAF's at BKK/BKV. The three-car Tatra train is shorter, only about 45 meters long.
The Tatras are cool too 😎
Line #41 is the longest tram line in Budapest. it just etches out #1 by 300meters but the travel time is 10 miutes longer at around 60 minutes. Great video nonetheless :)
Need to change Wikipedia then 😂
Things got confusing after reading many comments 😕 Not sure which one is the most informative & correct ...ugh.! Lol.💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
The exterior of the tram reminds me of the tram in Utrecht, Netherlands. They might be the same model.
They are yes!
As a Hungarian living in DFW i love to see that the 1 tram has double daily ridership of all of DFW transit which has a larger population then the whole country let alone Budapest.
That's quite a statistic 😆
Now you have reviewed the world's longest tram, have you ever reviewed the world's longest (I think) tram line that runs all the way down the coast of Belgium?
I hope to next year Annabel 😊
67 km if I'm not wrong
I guess it depends how you define longest … Sydney’s new trams are 67m long although they’re formed of two permanently coupled Citadis 305s. 🤓
Longest, as in the longest single tram 😚
We are talking the route not trains themselves
@@qjtvaddict No, based on his reply (above) and his description he's talking about the longest individual tram. Description: "this line is served by 9-part CAF Urbos 3 trams which are 55.9m (183ft) in length, making them the world's longest trams."
10:00 - I used to live next to here, I liked being there :)
Beautiful city 😍
Very nice video! ......... Like ........
Greetings!
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip OK!
It's not that surprising that it has a higher average speed than Metro Line 1, that's basically a tram line below the surface. The stops are really close to each other, it even uses an overhead wire instead of a 3rd rail. The trains are based on the Ganz CSMG trams.
Yeah 😂👍🏻
lol you've got a death wish riding line 1? it's a really dangerous line once it leaves Buda, particularly it's end stations at and after Nepliget.
I survived! 😆
@@NonstopEurotrip well, you rolled the dice and won :D
Diese Bahn ist nichts neues. Kenne ich schon ewig.
So?
Me toooooooo!
Impressive!
When will they replace the old trains on the other lines?
Not for a while probably!
@@NonstopEurotrip The Tatra cars have been extensively modernized and aside from the steps they are fine. The problem is with the Ganz cars on lines 2, 47-48-49. Those are 2.3m wide, while newer types are 2.4-2.6m wide and the low-floor design generally means larger axle loads. Most of the infrastructure has been rebuilt for new cars, with the exception of Szabadság bridge and the Pest embankment viaduct, both of which are protected monuments, can bear limited weight/stresses and the loading gauge is also limited at both places.
Anything that could circulate on these lines would have to be custom-made (=expensive) and would have a smaller passenger capacity. There is an idea to buy some used trams from Frankfurt which would at least partially solve a problem until they figure it out.
@@comandanteej very interesting, thanks!
Almost though I saw the "Uithoflijn" (22) in Utrecht ;p
Some people have said 😂
Wow! SO clean!!! I lived in NYC growing up, and the underground subway system was/is horrible, dirty NOISY, vandals spray paint grafitti EVERYWHERE inside and out on the trains, stations etc and there's NO upholstered seats because vandals destroy them. Unlike the trams, the NYC subway fare is controlled at all station entrances, so you pay there and then go to the platform for the train.
Thanks for sharing ☺️
What about line 8A in Łódź, which is 18km long, and the new line 6, which is world record line (if 18.3km is really a world record), which takes 72 minutes and is approximately 23km long?
This video is about the world's longest tram vehicle, not tram line.
Who built this beautiful tram ? Bombardier ? Alstom ?
CAF
eine gute Bahn
The world's longest single tram is the Skoda Forcity Smart 58 metre model for RNV Germany.
But these won't enter service until 2024?
