Nice to see the Czech made trams Tatra riding the streets of Pyongyang. The City Transportation Company of Prague sold used Tatra trams to Pyongyang Public Transportation Enterprise together with a shipment of tram-rails.
most people can’t afford cars, thus they bike, walk, or use public transportation, so there’s a potential they could make this city more walkable, build bike lanes, more trams etc..
pyongyang eerily reminds me of my city (Astana). it’s like a simulation where everything is built for the looks of it. not saying that it looks bad, but Astana was mostly built for cars with wide streets and huge (in area not in height) buildings as if the city is an advertisement itself. plus, a lot of communist style architecture same as here:) loved* this video, a sub from me!

I got a few questions after seeing your video, and wondered if you could clarify them! So, you can clearly notice the amount of cars in the streets is quite low compared to other countries, which is exagerated further by the large width of their streets. Is this because of the sanctions? As in, the industry can't handle manufacturing of enough cars and/or enough fuel can't be provided? Also, how would you describe the public transport infrastructure? Is it apt enough to handle the demand? Thanks for posting the video, by the way. The city really is beautiful, and looks so peaceful.
Well..public means of transportation are affordable by anyone. Cars are not. As for the width, big looks better than small, I guess. Which impression would narrow streets give to you?
@@goattv3108 narrow streets are pretty much the norm in Chile. Here in Santiago, the average street has two lanes per direction. In the most busy streets, such as the Alameda, it can have up to four lanes, with two of them reserved for buses. The design of the roads usually isn't very good, and since cars are mostly affordable, they are usually bound to congestions and slow traffic. The idea of having wide roads hints to me that the DPRK built them expecting heavy traffic, that simply could not be achieved under sanctions, and so, public transport has to compensate, which is why I asked for it's affordability It's an odd sight, tho, to see such wide and empty streets lol. I guess it's better that way, tho, cars really fucking suck for transport lmao
@@rafaelmorales1926 Correct. But most of those roads in Korea were built after the sanctions, when people were already barely affording public means of transportation
North Kore doesn't have great access to oil and thusly fuel (mostly due to sanktions). It is however quite mountainous and has large coal deposits, wich means that it can produce electricity through coal powerplants and hydroelectric plants with relative ease. Note that throughout the video there are always either tram or trolleybus wires along the road. The roads are so wide, because like most socialist countries (and autokratic countries in general), Norht corea likes to do mass political rallis and military parades. Plus they look very good an a cite plan or a postcard.
I am always amazed by how few people are on the streets. I know they aren't fun shopping, but surely they must have all kinds of errands to do/family to visit/doctors appointments/work-related travel? How come in this city with more than one million citizens, 99% are not on the streets?
This half of this peninsula absolutely fascinates me. I would love to visit, but I think, not for too long. One week would probably satisfy my curiosity. I wonder if I could get a date with a traffic lady, that would be nice, but I think I would steer clear of a soprano.
Streets nice and clean; no advertising; no parking officers to issue fines; foreigners can drive cars. Sounds like a great place to emigrate too - do they allow refugees like England does?
There are ex pats living in North Korea. You can emigrate but you may not be able to leave after. I read that they will try to set you up with another foreigner of your race already living there. There are foreigners teaching at the schools there too.
Quite fascinating for someone from the US who has been fortunate in his life to work & to reside for a total of 16 years in Frankfurt, Paris, & Stockholm. Pyongyang has the fewest residents of any of those cities on the streets, and the lowest volume of auto traffic by far.
That's because people in Pyongyang are actually at their workplace, so they don't have time to hang around on the streets and drive around like senseless zombies all day. Unlike cities such as Stockholm, Frankfurt and Paris with their thousands of unemployed non-Western immigrants each, who have nothing better to do than just do exactly those two things.
