Nice video, as always. The Porto Metro is really a unique system... those vehicles are very good-looking. Another system which is on my (very long) list!
Oporto es una bonita ciudad con tranvías. Muy buen vídeo, aunque te ha faltado poner imágenes del tranvía por el puente metálico sobre el río Duero. 👌👏👏👏👏👏Saludos cordiales hasta Portugal desde España.
One of these trams visited Melbourne before delivery to Porto. It had to be kept on a straighter route as it couldn't go around the tighter curves on our system. It was an interesting ride. Nice footage in the video. 🙂
Hi Mates!! Could you please tell me the gauge used?? Kind of electrification?? Brand?? Made in Portugal or any other country?? All the best and regards from Bs. As. Argentina
Hello, Porto Metro system uses 1435 mm gauge, similar to metro system in Lisbon. It runs with 750 V and this trams were made by Bombardier in their factory in Portugal.
The train from the beginning is very strange with the separated cabin that is not integrated in the first car but instead is connected separately. I wonder why they chose this variant and what are the benefits for it. Also I'm curios of the time efficiency of this metro-trams. In many European places the trams are slowed down in the center or areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. I really liked the rainy segments of the video!
Having the cab and the first bogey on a swivel, creates a very flexible tram. It has a lot less overhang in corners compared to trams that have a rigid connection to the first passenger compartment, so curves an be tighter. The power-to-weight ration is also higher (up to 8% higher in fact). These trams were originally designed and built by Socimi in Italy, a company that built and designed guns and trams (!). Socimi dubbed them 'Eurotram'. The Eurotram wasn't the success Socimi hoped for though. To my knowledge, only Strasbourg in France, Milan in Italy and Porto ordered these trams before Socimi went bankrupt. A few cities showed interest, but the slow closing doors were a bit of an issue for most of them. ABB Tranz (later Bombardier) bought what was left of Socimi's rail division in the 2000s and had the Eurotram in their catalogue for two more years (as Flexity Outlook E, where E stands for Eurotram). They fulfilled the orders originally made to Socimi by the aforementioned cities, but didn't rake in any new orders for trams of this type though, and quickly came up with a more traditional successor.
Nice trams, well filmed, - lousy day for filming. - It's taken them 4 years to build/lay a 'spur' 400yds long of new track in our town up a road, - and it still isn't open yet, - that's British contractors and workmen for you.
Electric vehicles that don't need batteries and that take up relatively little road space to comfortably carry a lot of people from point A to point B. What else could an ecologically-minded citizen ask for?
Loudest thing in existance. I swear, even a fighter jet doesn't compare to how obnoxiously loud this thing is. I'm Portuguese and have been using the Metro for years, now having to use it 3x a week for work purposes (flexwork). It is a terrible feeling seeing this particular model (there is a newer one) show up, because you just know you're in for a noisy, uncomfortable trip.
Quando fui para o sul de Portugal,mais especificamente Almada e Lisboa,fiquei chocado com os metros,os do sul são não apenas mais barulhentos mas mais caóticos nas linhas com imensos "bumps",apesar disso,admito que os bancos do metro do Porto são extremamente duros e desconfortáveis,espero que arranjem isso futuramente,já que estou a planear voltar para o Porto quando puder.
I'll take you someday to my third world shithole country in Latinoamérica where I came from before coming to Porto with my family, over there, there's no metro, no train, no security, there's nothing.. As soon as the taxpayers money arrives to the government it's automatically STOLEN... There's no social investment, there's nothing but poverty, violence and corruption. Just text me in advance to schedule the flight. *O português têm que dar mais valor ao seu pais caralho*
No, by the contrary, it looks more like a tram than a metro. A good example off similarity is the tramway off Strasbourg in Alsace (Elsass) just the colours are different.

Definitely worth a visit!!!
Sunny Portugal. Makes quite a change from the vintage trams in Lisbon.
I never saw this transit system before!
I thought i know every transit system but this is completetly new for me!
Saudades❤❤
Gostei muito !!!!! Filmagens muito bem feitas , até me senti andando de metro nesse tempo chuvoso. Parabéns 👏👏 !!!!
Rio de Janeiro !!!!!
Love your content, amazing trains!!

Great great work....Big like my friend 👉💖

Nice footage in the video. 🙂
Yup - that was Porto tram 018. It was on (static) display in Sydney too, before it was shipped to Melbs.
Very impressive system!! Nice looking vehicles
Thanks Tim😀😀💚
Very nice video my friend, best regards 🤝👍🇵🇱
Good work! Nice video. Despite the rain 🌧️ the mood is nice. Thank you.
Sharp looking vehicles!
Excellant video.Good Mixture of exterior and interior shots.Great Video
It was great to see the new train
Very good video, you just missed the line, through the Dom Luis bridge, to Gaia.
Cool trams. Nice video!
In contrast to this modern system, Porto, Portugal has classical trams as well

I loved the video i was waiting for it i was one of the first ones to watch if
Thank you very much for the video are you from Portugal
Nice video
Very Nice!
Красивые трамваи метро трам в Польше 👍🇮🇩
The Porto city Portugal Tram 🇵🇹 more Like Strasbourg Tram of France 🇫🇷
Nice
Interesting that the cabs are a separate segment
Do they have metro and tram as the same means of transport?
It really looks like it's much nicer to be and live in Portugal than to be and live in the United States!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥰😇🥰😇🥰😇🥰🥰😇🥰😇🥰😇🥰

It runs underground in the center and runs separate from car traffic.
@@timosha21 OK. Thank you for the answer!👍

where is the MetroTram station in Portugal?
Where’s the bridge? Bruh bruh
It's not a subway! It is a Tramvia system.
qué bom! Those métros are PHAT. Dumb question, is it a coincidence that the Lisboa and Porto trams/metro are yellow?
I belive so. They are manged by different companies and there are other trams in the country with other colors.
ha ro.
Goot Vido

Looking like metro not tram
No, by the contrary, it looks more like a tram than a metro. A good example off similarity is the tramway off Strasbourg in Alsace (Elsass) just the colours are different.
It's both technically. Tram-like infrastructure with metro-type service and tunnels in areas
Well you lost me like Berlin NO front window for the passengers, no, I do not like them!
