Seeing the tram infrastructure of Kharkiv made me realise how good the tram infrastructure is in my hometown, Riga. Was also nice seeing the blue coloured Tatra T3’s that Riga auctioned off to Kharkiv still rolling around.

Few tips for the best extreme experience:

Hrozně me těší že naše tramvaje jezdí i v takových terénních podmínkách a nezdá se ze by jim to nějak vadilo. Made in Czechoslovakia. ️

Wow. I did not even know that a regular service is possible under such conditions. The Tatra trams perform an admirable job on these rails.

These are off-road trams.

I would never imagine a modern low-floor tram getting through here. It would easily break down but these Tatras are survialists.

i'm from Zagreb and we constantly complain about the tram network in my city. it's definitely not perfect, but after seeing this i can only be happy that our tram network is in a condition as it is. this is simply horrible. i can't understand why more money is not invested in the total reconstruction of the tram lines, this is really dangerous for traffic in general, for people both outside and inside of the trams. i really hope that the head honchos in Kharkiv are aware of this and they are doing SOMETHING to improve the situation.

Vielen Dank für das Video! Als ein Prager bin ich stolz, was die Tatras alles leisten und durchhalten. Und bin auch froh, dass in Prag die T3 nach Umbau teilweise im Betrieb bleiben. Wir mögen sie einfach.

Geniale Aufnahmen!

Пути в ужасном состоянии... Наверное только эти Татры с невероятным ресурсом могут работать в таких условиях

I live in Kharkiv and see this nightmare every day.

I just finished to watch this film, and I have to say I have never seen anything like this. The conditions of the tracks … this cannot possibly be safe. You seem to have witnessed at least two derailments, which I find really scary. What are the plans for the future though? Are there plans to upgrade the infrastructure? Thanks again for posting this film!

its clearly visible that the 4-digit trams in perfect conditions (both types) are second hand from Prague public transport..

Vollen Respekt das Du es Dich getraut hast da mit zu fahren..
