  • The Bucharest Metro (Romanian: Metroul din București) is an underground rapid transit system that serves Bucharest, the capital of Romania. It first opened for service on 16 November 1979. The network is run by Metrorex. One of two parts of the larger Bucharest public transport network, Metrorex has an average of approximately 720,000 passenger trips per weekday (as of 2018), compared to the 1,180,000 daily riders on Bucharest's STB transit system. In total, the Metrorex system is 78 kilometres (48.5 mi) long and has 62 stations ~Wikipedia

    This is the list of trains:
    At 0:19 is CAF's BM3, they are running on line M2 only (in this recording, it's train bound for Berceni).
    At 3:59 is Astra IVA (pronounce as Four-A) (a.k.a BM1) from 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's. These are oldest trainsets and are only trainsets built here, in Romania (or, more exactly, in Arad) and are criticised for graffities and scratchities. These trainsets are running on lines M3 (sporadically) and M4 (this trainset in this recording is on the M4 line and is bound for Gara de Nord).
    That trainset at 4:32 is Bombardier Movia. There are two subtypes: BM2 and BM21, both of these are very simmilar each other and were produced between 2002 and 2008, and these are most common trainsets used by MetroRom (operator of Bucharest's metro system), as these are running on all lines (except M4).

    Nice video, Tim! Bucharest Metro is awesome, same as STB. My favourite metro trains are Bombardier Movia 346. It has a beautiful design, motor sounds well, silence inside, rather than CAF trains (ugly design, loud inside, less reliable).

    Hi Timosha,
    I want to take some images from your clips, with the metro from Bucharest, for a video material containing a study/project/fluidity solution for Bucharest.
    Do you give me permission to take over a few minutes of scenes from your videos?

    Thank you Timothy for another very interesting video. However, why are the platforms at Piata Roman station (shown at about 2 minutes) so dangerously narrow?

    • @bogdaniancu3784
      @bogdaniancu3784 2 роки тому +13

      The wife of our ex-dictator (Ceasescu) didn't want that station for personal reasons. The engineers built it inside the tunnel but closed those arches with light materials so it wasn't visible. After a while they convinced her that the distance between Universitate (en: University) and Piata Victoriei (en: Victory Square) is too big and this station is needed, so they just removed the light materials and unveiled those arches. The rule is that you are not allowed to cross into the space with the narrow platform if the train is not at there, but nobody checks that. Probably in the future they will install some safety panels.

    Search for Bucharest metro videos showing its original car fleet. Such as the train 6 minutes in.
    May be the world's only metro whose launch was presided over by a president and first Lady who 10 years later were overthrown and then executed.
