A Fantastic Tram System for a Town! | Liepāja Tram (Liepājas Tramvajs) 🇱🇻🚃| Urban Transport #19

- The tram system of Liepāja (Liepājas Tramvajs) is a surprisingly good and modern system, putting many larger cities to shame. It makes use of modern, low-floor TMK 2300 trams, built by the Croatian manufacturer Končar. Various modernization works are still happening. Also, trams run in a neat 7-minute headway and have "Grassy" tracks. All-in-all a fantastic little system for a town of only 68K inhabitants.
This video is the 19th episode of the series Urban Transport, with full-on descriptions of various urban public transport networks (for now in Europe).

Hi there! Getting ever closer to the goal of hitting 1000 subscribers. It would really help me if you subscribe to my channel, ensuring I can keep making videos like these for years to come :)
Congratulations on surpassing the 1,000 level. James.
Končar !!!.👍👍

Looks really nice, I hope this town can start growing again because it looks like they're doing things right
It would be great if it pays off!
Latvia is not about quantity, it's about quality. ;) Liepāja is the third largest city in Latvia and is considered a large city with all the things that you would find in a major city like a theatre, concert hall (a very large and modern building), some 20 or so churches and quite a bit of Art Nouveau architecture. Also one of world's longest white sand beaches and historical fortresses and buildings of the former secret military town of Karosta, now in Northern Liepāja. So... Don't be confused by the population.
@@martinskesteris8664 I'm Estonian, I'm not getting confused by population. I don't quite understand the point of bragging about your city as if it's some sort of gotcha moment when I'm literally already of the opinion that it's a nice city
@@intervrt well if you're Estonian then you should have known that a big city does not have to be with millions of inhabitants to function as a major centre in its country just like Tartu has almost everything if not more than Tallinn. It's just that "everything is so small bla bla" kind of syndrome. No bragging, just saying.
@@martinskesteris8664 I'm saying you're arguing against a point I didn't make.
It's generally positive for a city to grow its population, among other benefits it can extend it's transit infrastructure better.
I just love the kinda retro look of the new streetcars, they really fit in Liepāja.
It's very nice seeing trams from my city in another city. Greetings from Zagreb!
It would be great if they manage to export to more places (especially with the next generation).
@@realdronthego true! New Koncar trams are expected to be made by 2025. That's why our mayor has bought some 20-30 trams from Augsburg as temporary switch, to at least modernise lines 1, 9 and 13 which run on old Tatra trams.
New trams look amazing!
Yeah they are great for a town like this!
no way they have more tram systems than just in riga... I have always thought latvians don't have more trams.... like us, estonian. There is something that latvians are better in. We really need the Tartu tram in Estonia. If 68k can have a tram, 100k should defenetly have it:/
I was in Tartu, and Riga, and Liepaja and in Tallinn at the same time,and i agree very much with your conclution
Latvia has three tram systems. There is another one in Daugavpils
Latvia has 3 tram systems indeed. Rather impressive. All of them get or got a complete overhaul. Liepāja hits it out of the park with high frequencies and a fully low-floor tram fleet.
Meanwhile Lithuania has 0 tram systems😅
There's even such an obvious general route to put in Tartu, from Lõunakeskus to the centre to Annelinn, seems quite easy. At least Tartu has been putting a lot of effort into cycling, I guess
200k soon!
Hi from Liepaja! loved the video, the new trams are really nice and convenient indeed, only negative is that the tram lines don't go through the whole citym but that could change in the future possibly :)
Thank you!!
Nicely filmed video. Good to see a system which links places which are actually useful and the trams, with their slightly retro look, are the business. Just subscribed and looking forward to next edition.
Thank you very much!
Great video on what is a very small network. By the way, loved the intro music!
Thank you! 😁
Great video !!!! Thanks for sharing it. I love your channel logo within the channel name. Very nice and informative presentation. James.
Thank you very much!
.Very nice video.
Thank you very much!
Those trams are from my beautiful city Zagreb
You should export them more!😁
@@realdronthegoUnfortunately no one understands why the company isn't realžy interested in exporting them more. New modern trams are coming so maybe they'll try with them
@@thefm5660It’s not the company who isn’t interested in exporting them, no one wants to buy those trams, there’s way better producers like Stadler…
Hey I like youre videos pleas do the zurich trams
Fascinating network! It is on my wishlist😁
Try "Daugavpils" city tram in Latvia.
Already have a video on that:

@@realdronthego Thanks! :)
Next try Gulbene - Aluksne narrow widh railway line ( steam train, diesel train ).
You are living in Lithuania? I will be going to Vinius in the last week of september
Yes, for 6 years already
@@realdronthego nice!
Читал что там была база Балтийского флота
Liepāja izgriež pogas bagātai Rīgai.
Very funny to hear you say in one breath “freeing itself from the shackles of the USSR” and the going on to talk about the decline in population, all factories closed now, surprise surprise.
А кого возит этот трамвай???Город пустой, люди уехали все в Европу.В советское время населением было 120 тыс...а сейчас???
Well, there are still people living there. Tourists will visit as well. It is better to keep it going, than removing and later rebuilding if it will be needed again..
Я там прожила почти 30 лет, у людей была работа-Лиепаяс металлургс, молокозавод, мясокомбинат, линолеумный завод, кожевенный и далее по списку.нет работы-нет людей.Очень жаль...хутора в Латвии тоже заброшены, особенно в Латгалии...а так...я очень люблю Лиепаю очень!@@realdronthego

Da, gorod pustoj, zato Norilsk i Vorkuta polnij
Привет совкодрочер! Да многие уехали в Европу (благо есть такая возможность), но нужно учесть, что в совковые времена в городе было дофига оккупационных военных + их семьи. Потом им дали под жопу ногой. И плюс за этот счет население города уменьшилось.
А перспективы у города, думаю есть. Сам собираюсь туда на пмж.
