The tram of Daugavpils is rather unique in Europe. It is located in a rather small city (80K inhabitants), but is also operated by tram types you won't typically see in other cities in the EU, such as the KTM-5. Despite that Latvia's second city is slowly losing its population, the system got quite an overhaul recently, and with smart changes it aims to increase ridership. Also some re-routings and extensions are performed.
This video is the 10th episode of the series Transport, which describes various public transport networks (for now in Europe).

Thanks to Maptiler, Geolayers 3D for their amazing software, and Envato Elements for their loads of music, stock footage, and useful tools.
*Sidenote: I noticed that there maybe a completely new section to Cietoksnis from the railway station, rather than the mentioned switch. I saw it in a forum, but could not get it confirmed.
