Comparison of trains on Kharkiv metro Ukraine 

Come to Kharkiv then! I have been on these trains and I just love how they accelerate

is the Em508/509 different from Ezh?

It's the same as the Ečs, the Ečs was a version of the Metrovagonmash E which was exported to Czechoslovakia.

Hi! You have so wrong picture of Kharkiv. It is very beautiful and modern city. Please watch some other videos about Kharkiv and maybe you will change opinion about world above

Not all of them like that... Kiev and Kharkov metro were built pretty late, so most of the stations are like these. But back in the 60-70, when Kruschev ruled the country, there was a period when when these architecture details were considered non-functional and unnecessarily expensive, so stations were built cheaply (though structure quality was still very good), and without any meaningful decorations (one mosaic wall at best). There are some stations like this in Saint-Petersburg and tons of these in Moscow (where the worst example of these are overground ones, they are especially dull). They look dull both inside and outside, though they are still clean and good maintained. Upd: actually, I think Kiev metro was built somewhere around these times, so I think there are some dull stations aswell

@@Psevdonim123 Well, you should visit Kyiv to see it yourself.

Ikr, it's really weird

The most recent I was in Kharkiv was in August 2019 and they still do that due to the contact rail being switched from one side to the other. I don't think this is a fixable issue inside the actual train.

No, these Ezh3/Em508T trains wer delivered for the opening of the Saltovskaya Line

Yes, the newest 81-7036 by KWSZ. You can find it on the blue line.

QuarioQuario54321 new bart trains have micro plug doorsp

Yes

Yes

I like the sound they make when they hum after screeching when accelerating

I do. Door sounds, traction motors and they are getting replaced which makes me sad

They have a very odd front

Crazy bus?

When I was in Kharkiv I did not see a single bus the entire time I was there. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. I seems that Kharkiv does not have any public service buses. There are public trolleybuses and private crazy buses, but no regular buses.

@@benolifts Yes that is true, only crazy buses. We're all hate them.

@@benolifts Bus services are operated by private companies in Khrakiv. There _are_ traditional buses, they are used along with marshrutkas (I like the way you call them as "crazy buses" :D ), but overall, their number is relatively low comparing to marshrutkas, so it may feel like there are no buses at all.

No.

I'm pretty sure all the metros were almost the same.

All Soviet metro systems were built to operate the same trains, same station equipment and route automatics, etc. So, basically, yes, all the exUSSR systems look pretty much the same. Another peculiarity is that the metros were designed to be a "wonder castle for the working class" of sorts, so you'll definitely see lots of marble, granite, fancy lighting fixtures and other decorations that may seem unnecessary. This also dictates a certain style. The latter is seen less and less at new stations added after the USSR.

I wouldn't say they all look the same. There are a lot of variation. I have been on metros at Sofia, Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Kyiv and Kharkiv. All have had a different feel. Kharkiv and Kyiv are the most classic of all. But these still had differences from each other, and both are worth visiting. The main difference is the trains. Kyiv has (these are my general descriptions of the trains, I don't know the exact model numbers)... MVM E, MVM 81, MVM 81 Alien, and MVM E modernized with AC VF. While Kharkiv has... MVM E (but a different version to Kyiv), MVM E green version, MVM 81, MVM 81 with DC PWM, MVM 81 with DC PWM and spooky lighting, MVM E modernized (but with original motors). To be honest, a lot of modern metro systems are boring and repetitive, especially ones in spain.

Yes they are

Almaty was built during Soviet times but because the USSR fell before it could open there wasn’t enough money to complete. When there was money they instead used modern Hyundai Rotem trains built to soviet dimensions.

Crazy Bus!
