These trams remind me of the vintage models at Crich Museum, UK. The bell and noise of the traction motors reminds me a lot of riding those trams as a child. I would love to drive a double decker tram one day!
D/ deckers do tend to be noisy because the driveshaft is smaller than the single and also I suspect the driveshaft bearing are slightly worn hence the noise ..contrary to what you might think ..D/Deckers are much more easier to drive ..they hold the road much better because they are Bttm heavy .. they take some tipping over …they can tip to around 45 degrees before they tip ..that takes some doing trust me … I’ve seen many a top deck ripped off because the driver didn’t familiarise himself to the max height and gone off route and hit a low bridge … If I had a choice to drive either D/Double or single … then Double wins it ….
Your last video? Thank you so much for the ones you have done. Enjoy your future career. How about transport around the harbours in your future uploads?
1:25:45 It's interesting to see filipino/indonesian workers gathering for picnic during Sunday, just like how there is one at Singapore Paya Lebar during Sunday too.
Thank you for your tram videos! Sad that the series has come to an end. Why did you stop working as a tram driver? Did you like the job or are you glad it's over? Anyway, all the best for your future! Greetings from Europe.
This tram system doesn't seem very efficient, I would be pissed sitting there and barely moving. I see HK trams only as an tourist attraction. But I haven't been there yet, so my view might not be correct
I agree, but it is high in frequency and is more convenient than the underground railway. Good option for short distance trips, but not for long distance travelling
@@hktramguy true, could be. I'm just from a city where we have only trams, so we take them for the longest journeys, that's why this was my view on this. If there's a better solution for longer journeys and the trams are only good for shorter journeys, then that's ok I guess
I just wanted to thank you for your videos! It's great to watch you drive through the streets of Hong Kong. You must enjoy your job very much. I drive trams in Melbourne and it has been so interesting to see the similarities to driving a tram in your city. Every time a pedestrian isn't looking when crossing in front of you I feel the urge to brake and sound the bell also 😅
Yes, I will still be doing taxi livestreams... But before that I gotta upgrade my hardware, since the disconnecting problem is quite annoying to both myself, and to the viewers I will be back in around July!
Thanks for the question... Actually I've stopped driving trams now, but I still got some tram video to be published soon. Thanks for supporting and stay tuned!
