What a fantastic and comprehensive history of the trams! Thanks so much for making this!

Naarm…? The indigenous had no concept of greater Melbourne as we know it. Is Officer part of Naarm… what about Tarneit.

Wow

Melbourne doesn’t have an aboriginal name mate. The city didn’t exist before settlement. Plus you left off a number of routes.

Well done 👍❤

Since you have extended the route 86 to south morang. What about adding a Bus Lane so it can reduce delays to Buses

Looking at map of Melbourne it’s odd that there’s no rail to serve the airport - in a city that has tonnes of rail otherwise. What’s the deal? Would make a good video perhaps? Also, high-speed rail (to Sydney) could also be really interesting. To replace all those short-hop flights. It could possibly stop in Canberra or have a spur that goes there (with most trains running direct to Sydney). Probably improving current service and cutting the 11h time to 7 to 8 hours😢 with some upgrades and a more direct route - to start. Upgrading the approaches to the city is where it would get expensive.

Wow. Thank you for all your effort. This is super detailed. I wish folks did this for every city. It can really help raise awareness about reports that have been done and encourage advocacy. If people don’t fight for these - they won’t happen, that’s for sure, at least that’s my experience in North America.

Wow. This is fantastic. Almost every other city in the western world tore up their trams after WWII. I was waiting for the inevitable gutting to start - and while there were few significant expansions in the ensuing decades, there were only some cuts in the fringes of the tram network. It’s amazing. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which is known for being an outlier in having kept its trams. That said, over half our tram length was destroyed after WWII and converted to buses. Same story in the other few cities that kept their trams in North America: Boston & Philadelphia. That’s it.

funny you say you won’t talk politics yet you mention politics

“North Melbourne, located in the suburb of… West Melbourne” - Martin Bennet aka Taitset

For the section on the 'Modern' fleet 🚋, go here 18:44

*stony point*

It ould be helpful if the commentator pronounced nam places correctly.

Good video but for fucks sake it didn’t need to take 2 mins even start.

What about Smart Buses? Smart Buses are mostly Frequent.

watsonia is there like *this is fine*

Cumming to Cummings reserve 😂

This made my day! 😂😂😂

The new study

The new study was conducted at an early date by a group led by to i and the other uscientists at ieuwy and the University of ueu of the ueuw of a group of researchers who have been working with the University of Cambridgeshire to study Lincolnshire in a way they ❤believe will be wiwu and the other two in a future study research ye the urr of European elephant

I’m so happy you found a good ❤place ❤in ❤life to be in ❤life I can’t believe I have been in such bad pain and usually it’s not that yui😅 never had that much you have been in my heart for the past two days but you have written so beautifully that you are so beautiful I am happy to tee off for a while to see you and see how things work and I am happy you were there for you to be in this world and to have a beautiful place and I think it would

lmao, just the sheer cringe got you to 721 subs

It's Beaumaris.

3:37 this route actually ran via Milton St, Broadway, Ormond Rd, and St Kilda St, not along the route shown in this video. that's the only inaccuracy I can find though!

Only in Melbourne will a 16 year old steal a tram and then inspire songs and have a 26 minute documentary video made on KZfaq about him. Fuck I love this city.

How were you able to do that at 8:55

Amazing video! My only correction is 1:20 - the suburb is *Beaumaris and pronounced as "bow morris"

It was you wasn't it.

@0:06 "Naarm" ? Let me guess. You're a leftie, vote greens, and fudge packer - i.e. you take it up the rear each night? Hehehe. Melbourne - always has been, always will be MF'er!!!!

I like how there is a station called "Batman"

FFS its a Zed tram …… no one has ever called them Zee trams!!!

Route 67 should turn left at Truganini Rd then cross Neerim Rd and into Toloombool to Rosstown Rd terminus. Only a very short walk across Koornang Rd from Carnegie Station. Keeps trams off Koornang Road blocking traffic through the shopping strip.

having stayed in Melbourne for 3 month without a car and coming from a major tram dependent City (Dresden Capital of Saxony) the major Problems i found with the Melbourne Trams are: 1. The Zone System in combination with the pay by use aproach, its no wonder that most of the Tram system exists in the zone 1, the prices increase for traveling 2 zones makes it complicated to plan spending and more likely for people to use cars. Just get weekly and monthly tickets. 2. The Frequency. Waiting for you the one tram going into the City can take up to 30 minutes. a Tramline should never have a frequency slower than 15 minutes. 3. the Trams themselves, to small, riggety, barely accesible, slow.

Metro Trains here often does recruitment drives and pay well, i did an application a few years back and honestly i didnt know how to answer half of the questions on it without sounding like i was on the spectrum myself. How do you explain with a straight face sometimes why you like trains of all things... but then i get the same fuckin thing from people excited about building rooves and trimming trees...

Great video, been wondering about the development of the tramways for ages. Must've taken a ton of work to produce. Surprised that there hasn't been a single tram extension in the past 15 years, I guess the government is focusing on heavy rail at the moment (funnily enough right at the time when most of the rest of the world is going crazy for light rail).

"driver, could you give me change for a $20?" "I don't work here"

What a comprehensive tutorial gem, Masina. The groundwork and research is breathtaking. You've garnered a wide range of material and sources in order to unmask a bit of Samoan history on transportation. I enjoyed it entirely. Oh! and thank you for crediting me (21:15 & 38:23) for the use of excerpts from my Samoa Buses 2018 video.

Awesome video. As a Samoan living in Melbourne as well, i do wish Samoa had 1 ferry like the one you can catch from Sorrento to Queenscliff here to help alleviate the traffic problems ppl have from going to Savaii and vice versa. I do wish that the roads in the outer villages (esp going from Apia to Mulifanua) were double laned as I find that there are way too many cars in Samoa now.

if you dont know, the "g class tram" is now called the f class because of the name of flexity class tram and there is also a f2 class

"Promosm"
