    I used one of your videos to help with my trip through the south of France. I head to Budapest next month then Italy, Greece, and Turkey for the summer. Hope you're heading to one of those soon haha!

    I visited Málaga recently and I was surprised that the metro line doesn't go to the Airport as far as I know. It would be super convenient, though.

      Málaga airport alread has a good connection with the Cercanías C-1 so it's logical to priories places that are not served by metro/rail. I assume that in the more distant future there will be a metro connection.

    It's confusing how the network map at first glance looks very similar to that of the Cercanías Málaga service, and indeed they both used to terminate at María Zambrano, but they use "actual" trains. From memory some of the stations that serves are also quite...remote feeling.

      Haha it does, doesn't it! The stations i stopped at were quite empty. To be fair it was a Sunday afternoon

      The Cercanías goes a lot further so is not purely a Málaga service.

    The reason why is obvious, you have slightly pointed it out. It is a metro system ready for the future in which trainsets wont be doubled but replaced by real metro trains. As you can notice, tracks as well as platforms completely fulfill standard metro requirements

    This seems to be what the Eglinton Crosstown in Toronto will look like.
    And the Green Line here in Calgary . Trams in tunnels.

      Yes it is very similar that is why the stations in Toronto are built huge for future upgrading to full subway level

    Feels all a bit surreal I have to say, I took it once and everything is so spacious but compared to the small metros (I mean trams)..., well the same thing for some Spanish (high speed) railway stations, huge for only some trains per day. I honestly don't know anything about ridership numbers but I honestly hope these trams are a popular way to get around.

    • @SomeoneExplores
      @SomeoneExplores  7 місяців тому

      To be fair, each time I travelled on the trains (👀), they were quite well used on both lines. I guess with any modern infrastructure project, you'd rather have too much space than too little space, especially if the cost justifies it!

      The problem is quite the opposite, the infrastructure is falling short due to the success of the high-speed train. Thus Madrid is becoming a bottleneck and there are continuous problems due to the interconnections that are being built between the different stations to avoid transfers. In my hometown, a provincial city, a new station was built, which we all thought was too big and now it turns out that they have to make reforms to allow more people to access the platforms.

    Metro is not a metro hahaaha, for me it´s funny. Yes Metro Málaga has more or less 10 years, and took a lot of years with the project, as always, politics, money, and a lot of bla bla bla, Since I look with my eyes I didn´t believe to have a metro in Málaga. And yes, it´s like mix tram and metro. Food and drink it´s forbidden (except water), like buses in Málaga, also scooters. When calling next station over public address system in English, before extend to Guadalmedina and Atarazanas in English were more funny. When didn´t exist these stops, to get the number 2 from 1 line, it was the same train, you hadn´t to leave, something i impress me and didn´t understand. Now there are a project to Hospital Civil (this one actually is being building) , and El Palo (but will take a looooooot of time, you know, nice politics... ) , greetings from... Málaga!!! 😃but not from Metro hahaha yeah i´m from Málaga!!!

      In Madrid we have 3 lines of these "Light Metro", along with the former 13 lines of "Heavy Metro". Everybody knows it's a tram, even Paris has 14 tram lines (1 split in 2: 3a and 3b, don't know why) and call them Tramway with no remorse. Spanish municipalities think that "Tram" is a pejorative word, a heir to an older era that don't wish to remember.
