What a complex project. Gives me nightmares to imagine how much long it'd take back in Brazil. It is, hadn't we made the mistake of ditching trams out at all cities.
Yep. Perth removed its last tram in 1956. This week the W.A. govt announced a study into bringing trams back into Perth city. I have to agree with "Bob Rodgers", a flyover or tunnel would be a better option.
This is something to experience for the transportation. The project and everything looks more neat and great. They are set to make the transportation goes more interest.
In fact this specific intersection used to be called the grand union, because any team, could turn in any direction possible, now it’s a not so grand at all union.
@@whiteclifffl You have a right because there are those who belong to Islam and have nothing to do with it. We in Egypt live with our Christian sisters since our childhood. Our nails are loved like his brother in the homeland, and we have a freedom of belief, and throughout my life I did not follow these Muslims and the owners of hard and bad ideas and I tell you that I do not deny the preference of the West to the Arab world. In terms of providing technology, weapons, medicine, science, and human organizations, all of this has the merit of upgrading the Arab and Islamic world since the twentieth century, as we had a long time ago in spreading moderate Islamic civilization to the countries of Europe and Asia, and if I did not like the style of sophistication, culture and technology Oh in your country, I would not have wished to live in it, but I assure you that I am a very ordinary person and I love the man who is my brother from my father Adam and I wish prosperity and development for you and your country when I am 56 years old and I never thought I would leave my country Egypt because the age had passed and I hope to bury In my country and my family and my greetings to you for your response to my wishes for you and your country for security and safety
Мне кажется они это сделали в 8 суток. Но да... Работали непрерывно. В моём городе на похожем перекрестке копались три месяца. Поменяли только стрелки - каждую пару отдельно, работая только днём, только в "рабочие" дни.
Esto es lo que en Colombia, el IDU y las empresas de construcción deberían invertir el dinero....en esta clase de obras y no estar robandose los recursos con materiales de segunda y en tiempos largos y con un resto de papeles por elaborar una obra....
Nice to see investment in Public Transport. Not nice to see the designers include such stupidly inflexibility in the track layout. One off proper grand junction with bi-directional turns in all directions would have made far more sense. And offered greater operational flexibility. Now to do it later means more traffic disruption and excessive extra costs.
poxbox3030 The Grand Union will be completed once the Northern end extension gets underway eventually. The outcries seem to be more from tram buffs than anything. Points are very expensive to maintain and the state is broke. Had of designers included what you desire originally - the extension may of never got off the ground due to costs.
To keep traffic and trams flowing through that intersection, a better (and more expensive) solution would have been to fly over or tunnel under for either trams or cars.
It's all and good that Adelaide is returning to a modern light rail system, what I can't understand is why they mothballed one of Adelaide's great tourist drawcards the vintage trams to Glenelg. I asked one of the volunteers why the old trams aren't running, he told me that the turn at the top end of the CBD was to tight for the old trams. So why not run weekend and public holiday timetables from Victoria square to Glenelg also the pantographs might have to be changed to cope with the zig-zag of the new overhead.
And yet Adelaide couldn't do that fourth turn from King William in to North terrace at the same time as the rest of the intersection was being turned in to a major nightmare.
Das ist ja fast so schnell wie in Deutschland, hier dauert es von der Planung bis zur Fertigstellung nur 20 Jahre.☺ That's almost as fast as in Germany, here it takes only 20 years from planning to completion. ☺
Thanks for the info. Where would you go if you were to die today? Seek the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ before it's too late. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Hell is real and Heaven is also real. You don't want to spend an eternity in Hell torment without God. The only way to escape Hell is to follow Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. Study the KJV Bible to know more and pray and seek until you find Jesus. Don't delay tomorrow might be too late. You are not promised even the next minute. Do it now
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos probably several billion dollar. But it indeed much more efficient and effective form of transport. It have higher capacity and travel at faster speed. I don’t know how much that tram system cost. But where I live they spend around 2 billion USD for 15 km MRT line. Extention is under construction and new 30 km line is already planned with 4 to 5 billion budget.
There is a plan for a 3 station underground line in Adelaide to connect the north and south rail corridors more efficiently, there’s already one tunnel entrance in place. I’d say within the next 20 years it will be done.
They keep saying trams takes up to 200 passengers that could be driving 200 cars so they are saving the world by reduce cars on the roads. Yes however, they never look back at the 1000 cars been blocked and stuck in traffic by that tram. 1000 cars that could just drove off home without the tram blocks them. Why? because the Australian local council are so smart that they allow cars to park on a 2 lane road before the rush hour. MAKING IT a single lane that shares with the tram. The tram is basically a moving red light to cars. whenever it stops. all the cars has to stop. I can go another 2 hours on a essay to tell you how much inconvenience tram is causing compare to its benefits. but it's not always the tram's fault, most of the inconvenience is actually caused by the poor traffic route management and road design.
They're putting in passenger rail here in the Seattle Region where I live. We had an amazing Interurban system at the turn of the 20th Century up until the 50's or so but they tore it up. Glad to see it going back in.
ST (Sound Transit) whom is in charge of light rail or (tram) as some may call it (in the Puget Sound metro area/s) is not new around here, the first segment known as Link was opened to revenue service in July of 2009 (serves DT Seattle and points south/East) terminating at Seatac International Airport and was extended to Angle Lake several years later, this same line will be extended all the way to Federal way in the coming years and has served over 6 million so far and that number keeps climbing. U-Link which serves the University of Washington was opened in 2016, North Link which will eventually serve Lynwood/Everett, Washington should see service begin sometime late 2022/early 2023. East Link should be ready for service i the next 9-12 months and will serve the eastside communities of Bellevue/Redmond.
