As a train driver, I have mad respect for tram drivers. Our train's stopping distance may be much longer than trams, but at least we don't have to share our tracks with road traffic.
As a truck driver I respect them too.
I respect anything that has triple (3x) the weight of my car. 😎
@@danijelandroid Triple? Do you drive a 14 ton monster truck? At 42 tons that tram is more like 30x the mass of most cars.
@@Hugh.Manatee - my car is about 1250 kg so anything above 3 1/2 ton I won't mess with it. They want to go first, I let them. I'll would loose in a head on collision. 😅

@@justaguywithapowerpole r/woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
An important correction: Drivers are not ringing their bell in those hopeless situations. What happens is that when you apply a full brake on a tram, ring activates automatically. This is why you often hear the ring in situations where its use seems counterintuitive. It's merely a driver pulling break to the max level and the tram doing the rest ;)
In some cases in the video, I saw, that the brake force decreased after the crash. Or was is just an illusion?
@@Peti817172M mean what is the point of braking hard after collision? Crap has already taken place and the only thing braking hard after that would achieve is make more passangers fall and possibly injure themselves.
@@miloskovac2300 Once you hit emergency braking, you tend to let the tram do the rest. And it’s also how tram brakes work. In Oslo, service braking is 1,2 m/second squared, emergency braking 3 m/s squared. Anybody foolish enough not to hold on to something when standing, deserves to kiss the floor, a tram is not the living room (or hotel room). In Graz, there’s posters in the trams reminding you of this fact…
@@cieludbjrg4706 well in CZ the emergancy braking is the last position on the controller and you can release it anytime, its not a button that you cannot do anything about once you use it till it stops the tram, and also in the czech republic most people fall when the tram stops using the emergancy brake, since the sudden hard stop is really harsh. I have experianced it myself tons of times in Brno.
we don't have trams, but can someone explain how can something so huge and is fixed on tracks be so hard to see?
What did I learn:
-the Czech Republic has two cities, Prague and Brno
-trams are unstoppable, unless they meet a bus
-when threatened the tram will ring its bell as an attempt to scare its attacker away
Well, it was just mentioned later in the video. this is actually the best tram video I've seen where driver is actually trying their best to stop such heavy vehicle. the other video just don't care like it happens all the time.
"Brno - the other Czech city"
Should be the city motto.
Tram
Family - Lightosrailus
Species - Streetranus
Trams are a bit nervous and shy creatures. They tend to move on guided rails. When threatened, the tram will ring its bell in order to scare its attacker away. When being aggressive, it rams its attacker at full speed blowing its horn as a warning.
yeah, it absolutely shocked me that a bus not only stopped the tram, but wrecked it and clean off the track at that! It's like the opposite of the bus vs train meme!
@christophershaird5862 there was a crash where a double decker bus hit a tram in Ireland, both were like equally damaged where hit and the tram was literally launched of the tracks as it was facing like 30-40 degrees to the right hand side of the track

As an tram driver in Bergen Norway, i see this everyday. Rush hour´s and drunk people in the weekend´s is the worst. Hard job, and you need to be 100% focus all the time. We have 70km/h as max speed outside the city and 20-40km/h in the city. The weight is between 56- 85 tons depending on how many passengers onbord
As someone who has taken Bybanen a lot, I'm baffled at how people can be so oblivious. It takes at most five seconds to check if there's a tram coming, which is nothing compared to what a collision will cost. I was taught to look voth ways before I cross the street, heavy vehicles take longer to break, and neither light- nor heavy rails can stop on a dime on their own.
TL;DR - Morons. Morons everywhere.
Sorry sir but the weight of the tram is hardly dependent on the number of passengers onboard. The weight is dependent on the size/dimensions of the train. The weight of the passengers is negligent.
@@stratfordbabyyou need to check your maths. 200 passengers of standard weight (70KG) add 14 Tons of weight to a tram.
Wow, how’s life on the other side of the world bro, I’m a truck drivers here in the US
2:49 i love how the first four crashes matched with the music
The drivers should Czech if there's a tram approaching them

The trams actually have pretty good brakes to be honest
Very important thing he forgot to mention - pedestrians have NO priority on crossing over tram, so be careful, especially tourists from countries where they don't have trams are really suiciders. And tram is not car, not all laws and directions are same for car and rail vehicles, if you have driver license here, you have to know that, but if you are from other country, you maybe don't know about that - car and rail vehicle is something completely different by law.
Except when the tram is turning and pedestrians have a green light. In that situation, pedestrians have priority and it is very dangerous if some of them stop and let the tram pass while there are other people in front pf the tram.
@@acceleratedsloth Well if pedestrians had a green light, that'd obviously mean a Tram would have a red light to compensate so that it wouldn't even be able to continue legally until that pedestrian ligth went red. (I know that tram signals use lines and symbols instead of colors but I'm just simplifying it so that most can understand what I'm saying)
Yeah, this in combination with the double conflicting green for cars and pedestrians are the two most dangerous things the Czech republic came up with in my book. Who came up with the idea that a - nationally speaking - very rare vehicle with whom only a couple hundred people have direct experience will get it's completely own rule set 🤦♀️. Like I am in favor of prioritising public transport, but it just doesn't make sense to give trams different rules than for example buses, just because one runs on rails whilst they still share the exact same space.
@@DavidMulderOne Trams are heavier and they can't manoeuvre. After all it is a railway kind of transport, so it definitely should have a priority over a pedestrian. It is much easier for a pedestrian to stop rather than to stop a two-carriage tram full of people, especially when it is skidding. And trams are not a rare vehicle in most European countries!
@@Thomas.Deverell Trams are indeed slightly heavier than big buses, but that can be easily accommodated with slower maximum speeds and adequate breaking solutions. Trams are absolutely a rare vehicle, in the czech republic there are less than 1500 trams versus 8 000 000 cars. In traffic in a lot of countries you have 'cars', 'cyclists' and 'pedestrians'. And that's giving people already a hard enough time. The idea that on a pedestrian crossing it's actually 'trams first' makes zero sense, as the entire idea of those is to give priority to pedestrians. If a tram wants to function like a train then it should just run on it's own tracks (rather than share the same road as the rest of traffic does). In Prague that's the case for most tracks and that's good, but inside the city center you have trams waiting for cars that wait for pedestrians on a pedestrian crossing, but if the car doesn't stop the way it legally should then suddenly the tram has priority.

As a resident of Amsterdam, a city that also has trams. I keep the rule of thumb too always pass a tram in the back
as someone who lived in czech half my life i would say that pedestrians almost getting hit is 10000% always the pedestrians fault
Wdym? I came here as a tourist and man... The traffic sucks.
- Cars skip zebra lines (When people are already walking)
- Trams block the way and even worse: The view
- Signs are wiped out and traffic lights are not always available or visible.
- Even czech people mess up the traffic so it's the system's fault 🤷♂️
@@labscience8271
- you should never cross zebras when cars from both sides didn't stop / aren't slowing down
- well, no way that's the systems fault
- I have never seen such signs/intersections
- nobody is perfect I guess..?
But, blame the system xd
@@fallout8516
- Cars have to slow down at zebra lines to see pedestrians (At least in Germany). And also: if you're already crossing, the cars in the next lane should stop to let you cross. When to cross when nobody stops for you?
- How not? Trams are just not suitable for cities. They are like trains in cities. I would rather to have buses (Personal preference).
- How long have you actually been in the Czech Republic? I've been there for a week, and I already saw wiped out signs in Brno.
- If you live and drive there for years, you should actually drive like normal people. Sure, accidents and reckless drivers exist, but they should not be at that high rate.
Since you might have stayed there for longer (maybe a lifetime) than I did, you can actually understand the system better than I do...
@@labscience8271
- when at crossing, usually 2 or less cars cross the zebra, then the car on my left starts stopping, which is almost always followed by the car on my right slowing down as well, so I start crossing the street
- I'm not living in a city with a tram, but a tram can block a way the same as a car/truck/bus can do, and this is just the drivers fault entering the intersection while unsure if he can make it through. There are buses as well as trams in Prague, so you can choose what you want. I'd say trams are better since they have a (mostly) seperate lane for themselves.
- well it's Brno, duh
- by 'czech people mess up the traffic' I imagined something like going the wrong way on a roundabout or idk. Reckless drivers' crashes aren't the system's fault either since that's just people being.. reckless
@@labscience8271 If a tram is blocking your view then it's your responsibility not to walk out to an area you don't have a good view of, that's common sense.
I agree with you about the cars on zebras, but that's not the traffic system's fault, that's drivers ignoring the traffic rules and driving dangerously.
And what do you even mean trams aren't suitable for cities? They were literally designed for cities.

4:26 The max speed in Prague for trams is 65km/h, but in streets it depends on traffic signs.
4:20. 44 tons. With passenger 50, or 60 tons. Tram with 4 section weight will be 60-80 tons. Maybe weight 100 tons.
The best physics lesson I saw today. Buses are really scary even for trams, so respect!
Not really. Tram is still multiple times heavier. In case of head-on collision, tram would still survive in much better condition. It is just that that it is heavy enough to derail it.
@@elukok you say that but buses are really heavy too. A Mercedes Capacity like the ones used in my city weigh 19 tonnes empty. That is about half of the tram.
@@almerindaromeira8352 And a tram (just a Bombardier 4000 with three sections) weighs about 40 tones.
@@PreNeanderthal yes, he says so in the video 42t for the ones in Prague. So?
@@almerindaromeira8352 As you say, it can depend on the model. Older high-floor trams seem to cause more damage to vehicles than the new low-floor ones. I think that it this is because most of the mass is then concentrated in the bottom half of the tram so a car gets hit by a brick of metal rather than a hollow box. Also, the older trams are somehow built to be incredibly sturdy.

Hats off to the tram drivers, they're very skilled and alert all the time. The tram's braking distance is so long due to the low friction which also makes the trams very energy efficient but they can dump sand on the track if needed at hard braking to increase the friction between the wheels and track so the braking distance decreases
Is tram braking the same as train braking?
@@florjanbrudar692 yes because its metal wheels on a metal track.

Just came back from Prague! I've followed religiously your suggestions, and it's been great. I was there 3 days for work, so no much tourism but I've used the trams and the metro a lot, only took a taxi on my way back to the airport because i didn't want to carry my luggage and I've only spent 20 euros. Thanks for the great work!
I was a tram car driver in Osaka, JAPAN.
have an experience of Crash like 3:00
As a bus driver from the UK i can recognise a lot of these situations from my personal experiences. Few car drivers / pedestrians realise quite how far it takes to stop large passenger vehicles. What they also fail to take into account is that by forcing the passenger vehicle driver to brake hard , passengers on the bus/coach etc are quite often thrown off their seats & injured. In the case of elderly or vulnerable passengers this can lead to serious injury or even death.
Please car drivers / pedestrians / cyclists etc TAKE EXTRA CARE especially if you are in a non familiar area or even country!!
Exactly! I experienced this kind of situation as a passenger in a Prague bus and it was quite terrible (luckily, we all got just some bruises and slight shock). But I thing many car drivers here don't know this because they don't usually use trams and buses.
Agreed mate. I'll certainly brake but I won't absolutely slam on the anchors. I'd rather do damage to the offending vehicle than send s load of passengers flying and cause injury.
"Please be careful, you only have one life" Easy to follow and straight to the point advice.

Also, Prague trams are very silent compared to many other places (here in Melbourne they bump along the track and are generally slow and noisy). I had a friend visit me in Prague and was almost run over on the corner of Narodni and Spalena (near Narodni Trida station) - the track there really cuts the corner, which can be unintuitive for a foreigner. Watch out for those trams!
Melbourne isn’t that bad, it’s just some neglected tram routes ig
5:03 He sounds like he is hunting me
The trams are my favourite part about Prague. As someone from the UK, being in Europe in a country which doesn't use trams generally (I'm talking about London (although Croydon and Manchester have trams)), it's so refreshing to be in a city with them. I just love hearing the bell in the background of the busy city life.
I am originally from Prague, now I live in village and tram bell is really retro and nostalgic sounds for me, everytime when I am in Prague and hear that, I feel like kid again. :-D But today trams have different sounds than old trams, I miss that old vzzzzzzz when tram is accelerating. When I was in Poland, I was really like little kid because they still have many of that older types with sounds from my childhood, not in Warsaw, but in other cities, especially in Gdańsk, it was like someone teleported me to 90s in Prague. :-D
@@Pidalin Sometimes you can’t top those nostalgic sounds!
Lots of cities in the UK have trams
Not to mention they're probably the best form of getting around a city. You can always tell if a route is nearby thanks to the tracks being there and from that it's just stepping into the stop and away you go on the next one, zooming through the streets. Much nicer than having to try and figure bus routes out, looking for metro stops and then spending several minutes going deeper and deeper underground, and better than having to unlock a bike and if good bike lanes aren't there, try to navigate in and around the cars!
@@davidwebb4904 There are only 7 in the UK and most of them aren't major and only serve a small part of a city.

Oh yes, I know it all too well after 22 years as a tram Driver in Stockholm Sweden and Dublin Ireland. You need to have very strong nerves to do this job.
I heard a comparison some years ago that explains it fairly well - If you hit an empty soda can with your car you don't notice much of it, right? Well if you for some reason end up in front of a Tram with your car it is you in the car who is the soda can and the Tram is the car. / B.

I like how you added "legal speed". I seem to recall that on the Bila Hora route, the trams would take the straight sections uncomfortably quickly...
obviously, if they were going faster, they were riding in Mexico
They are build for something like 60 or 80 kmph, but that is used only on segregated lines build with standard S49 rails, not on sections shared with cars.

to add just a bit of safety, trams in Munich will ring the bell for a moment when they pass each other, just in case there might be someone walking across the track right after the tram in one direction went through, not expecting, hearing or seeing the other tram going the other direction
Just moved to Nottingham for uni (UK East Midlands), we have trams here and you very quickly learn to respect them. A lot of road is actually closed off to cars with convoluted detours of one way streets which can be quite irritating as a driver but the trams are very good
In summer I have to scream on some tourist, to warn them, because they would ended under Skoda tram. And this was exact same spot as this kid in 1:38
The one near shopping center where also Kafkas head?
@@chechibo283 Yes, exactly
That Rezistor greeting was almost like a hidden death threat :D
This music is the black friday music of emag for years. Nice job :D
1:25 he was like, "ima scare the shit outta that driver"
FINALLY BLOOPERS WHEN JANEK SAYS IT BAD :D
maaaan so cool to see rezistor here, he has some very nice content
Very nice HD video on those trams. They have nothing like this, at least not until very recently on the trams in Szczecin, PL.. Similar problems there and the roads are 1000X worse.
Thank you for this video! im making a game called "ttg" - that train game and i decided to have trams and i needed to add realism and this really helped with alot of info!
I visited Prague several times and I really want to say that Trams drivers are doing a great job.
Stay safe and God bless all of them.
