Including Spain?

​@@jacobringenwaldYes. Buenos Aires underground opened in 1913 and Madrid metro opened in 1919.

There's a mistake for Line G (7:35) (Mairie d'Issy is in France 😉)

Malaysia

​@@jacobringenwald Spanish-speaking world includes.. Spain

Yes... It's Our Country

Hola mati, sabía que te encontraría acá

XD no sabía que Mati iba a comentar aquí, saludos desde buenos aires, argentina :) que bueno que al final los ingleses no nos olvidaron

oh Mati en La Ciudad how are you?

​@@mauriaguirre169This is a Canadian channel, man!

Better late than never!

Yep, tbf it was more a case of economics and politics getting in the way Line H was in construction until quite recently as shown in the video. That and the fact that the underground coexist with a pretty extense bus network

​@@julianguastadisegnoThe existence of a pretty extensive bus network in that city shouldn't be an excuse for not building metro lines.

​@@rsnankivell1962la corrupción si

​@@rsnankivell1962it hás a massive overground train system look it up

Ha ha ha. VERY good luck...

I'm from Argentina (Córdoba, not Buenos Aires), and all that extension plans are from 2001 (F, G, H and I lines)

@@untipocualquiera1446 In 2001 law 670 was passed, but the layout of the new lines had already been proposed at the end of 70s. What was done in 2001 was to give legal status to that plan.

Future plans since 2001, sadly

Even in the best case scenario, constructing the fastest any city in the world has, in half a century you wouldn't find half of what's planned

Mínimo 1h de viaje

En los años 50 era casi todo campo la zona del final de la linea E. Y hay colectivos. Incluso al día de hoy no tiene sentido ir en subte desde ahí a Belgrano aunque exista la linea H. es mucho mas rápido en colectivo

Actualmente para llegar de Parque Chacabuco a Once se llega más rápido tomando la línea 7 del bondi que haciendo combinación de la E a la H.

Terminan siendo nomás de 20..30 min más. Son cortos los tramos y las distancias

Se tomaban un bus

JAJAJAJJA

LOL dude I feel bad for you

😎

And both cities have a metro station called "Saenz Peña"

@@carlosximenes4171 E a estação Uruguaiana do Metrô Rio fica próxima da rua Buenos Aires 🤣

And for the future, an extention to France (Mairie d'Issy) has been proposed.

Rio cannot build more metro lines because the state of Rio de Janeiro is literally bankrupt. Until the state government pays off its debts to the Union, no major infrastructure projects will happen in Rio, and that includes new metros lines (since in Brazil, states are responsible for metro construction). Unless they get a third party to fund and build it, like they're trying with line 3 with money from PAC, an infrastructure fund project from the central goverment, which aims to fund infrastructure projects throughout Brazil, similar to Build Back Better in the US and CRRC (a chinese state railway company) to build it.

Looks like I forgot to erase the caption from the previous Paris video 🤦🤦🤦

The Moral: _Don't reuse certain narration files._

didn't you hear, grand paris express will get another line 😄

Im all for a transcontinental subway line!

​@@MetroLinerwell Buenos Aires is know as the "Paris of south america" 😂

It could easily turn into a suburban extension of Line B with services going as far as Lynch or Coronado, with the ones starting from Lacroze going all the way to Lemos. A man can dream, though...

Cómo el tren sarmiento con el subterráneo A.. en un tiempo salía el tren de Castelar desde estación Miserere...

In 2022 Kyiv Metro published daily to weekly which lines and stations were closed. Could be interesting to animate that

de que ciudad sos?

The interior jajajajajja

@@DarMam jajajaaa

Podrían empezar por no votar al mismo intendente/gobernador 20 años seguidos.

The short spacing is explained because originally the system was made for trams instead of full metro trains, basically they were just a expasion for the streetcars in the surface, Hope the info helps you :) (english is not my native language, sorry)

@@GuyfromEarth-he2zu Don't worry, you have better English than my Spanish. That sounds a lot like the case of the Yonge Subway in Toronto, which runs on the same special broad gauge as the streetcars and has has 300m - 400m station spacing in a U-shaped section downtown between Bloor and Front Street. This is because it originally functioned as a grade separated streetcar tunnel. The difference is that Toronto kept its streetcars and then expanded the subway to cover the suburbs, with 1km-3km station spacing. They also built a second line along Bloor street to interface with line 1 and the streetcar system. So currently, Toronto has 80km of Subway branching off into the suburbs as well as 80km of streetcars serving the central area of the city with similar coverage to the Buenos Aries Metro (albeit with slower speeds and less efficiency).

@@RoboJules Thanks :), it sounds interesting, i will look it up.

As you said, Buenos Aires is a very dense city and the underground network hasn't reach less dense neighborhoods of the metropolitan area yet.

@@JoshuaPers I think the spacing makes perfect sense within the context of what was required back in the early 1900's, as it really does have more to do with the age of the system and its function as a streetcar replacement more than the density. No one expected Buenos Aries to sprawl as much as it have, and back when the metro was first constructed, it was to serve pedestrians and replace the streetcar, not address commuters or replace the car. Tokyo has an even denser urban fabric than Buenos Aries, even with the absurd densities, its subway and metro stations are generally spaced 500m-700m in the core near Tokyo station. Buenos Aries only gets to that kind of station spacing west of Estación Once, and between that and the waterfront, the station spacing is as low as 200m, which is often the distance between most bus stops in the urban core of cities. It's even shorter stop spacing than Paris and London, which were the first metro systems. A 400m metro station spacing is often acceptable in the densest urban cores, as that would mean adjacent stations would be at the edge of an enactment area around stations comprising a five minute walk. You really don't want to go tighter than that or else it slows down the system too much to be effective over other modes. Buenos Aries is dense, but given the great bus and rail network it connects to, I really think the system can start expanding at 800m to 1600m per station. Meanwhile, I'd love the suburban rail network to be tied together downtown with a rail tunnel, and turned into an RER/S-Bahn system to compliment the tight metro.

the metro trains stopped expanding around 50 years ago.

@@hpatdh077 In fact, the network never stopped expanding. Despite closing branches and stations, some were reopened or new ones were created. For example, the BS line is currently being extended to Constitución, which will be the new terminal station for that line.

De acuerdo con todo, salvo que la B ya llega pleno centro de Villa Urquiza.

Es inviable hacer hacer eso. La A ya sería imposible de abordar a la altura de Villa Luro, saldría repleta de Liniers. Lo mismo la D.

@@fabiodeluca4816 No es inviable. Inviable es pretender que una metrópolis de 16 millones de habitantes se arregle con solo seis líneas de subte que rozen los 10 km en promedio.

Actually line C is the most crowded line on the entire network. At the time of the construction (1934) there wasn't to much to the north neither the south of the line, and both ends of the line has closed platforms at the end of the tracks, making very tricky to expand the line.

it is physically impossible to extend it any further, as it directly connects two of the main 3 transport hubs of Buenos Aires and it's already extremely overcrowded. this is where line F would come into play, but unfortunately with the current state of the country there's been little to no progress with this project

it connects with the two main train stations in the city would no sense to extend it right now, i think its more important to make the other lines actually reach the rest of the city

I am from Great Buenos Aires. It would not happen. Today, people are complainning because the start to pay 50 cents of dollar the tycket, and they say its to way high.

@@Javerus1307 que? me referia a que haga un video el chabon sobre los trenes del conurbano

@@Javerus1307 When the minimun wage is only 234 dollars/month, paying 50 cents for a train ticket is high. Rise the salaries first, then you can rise the train tickets if you want...

They have some already

@@sdt1225 not thru-running tho - that would make some difference

@@pcongre with the exception of line B, it is impossible.

@@MarceloBenoit-trenes sorry, i must've used the wrong term - i didn't mean running thru the metro à la tokyo, but just running thru the city center à la paris

It is already overcrowded, connecting between two mayor train hubs (Retiro and Constitución) and the rest of the metro grid

Line C conects the two majors train stations of Buenos Aires. Retiro at the north and Constitución at the south. As the Chadopyf (company who built line C) just wanted to conect those stations and at the time there wasn't too much happend to the north of Retiro and to the south of Constitución, those stations were built to close to the surface and with closed platforms at the end of the track, making very tricky to make possible an expansion of line C.

If they do that we would die

No. La gente se olvida de que la línea E es aliviadora de la línea A. Sin la línea E, actualmente la línea A estaría explotadísima.
