I’m trying to keep up the pace so here is the next compilation of interesting Urban news by the way I’d like to thank my subscribers for some of them and this is a hint that you can also send me news for review and of course don’t forget to

Leave your comments and share this video as well as subscribe to the channel the creation Capital Zagreb is planning to expand its tram Network for the first time in 20 years the city has already announced the tender to select a contractor to lay new tracks on the SVA

Sesta Street February 27 was the last day for submitting application so we will know the winner quite soon in total the city plans to lay 2.25 km of new tracks to the dugave neighborhood and in addition on both sides of the street there should appear bicycle Lanes the

Total cost of the construction is estimated at €25 million most of which is to be covered by by the European Union and if the tender is successful the work should start this fall the new center project is underway in the Polish capital of waro its main

Idea is to transform the center of waro into a more pleasant and human centered environment during the implementation many streets are to be changed with the traffic reorganization creation of new pedestrian Crossings and planting of new trees also instead of open parking Lots the city plans to create several new

Public squares and build an underground parking garage in addition to this the city is restoring buildings facades finishing a pedestrian bridge across the Whistler River and preparing to open the Museum of Contemporary Art oops sorry that’s the wrong picture here is the right one not everything is completed on

Time but in general there are lots of good changes and perhaps they should be described in a separate video video the city of Boston is planning to renovate Blue Hill Avenue with a dedicated bus lane in the center of the street from grow Hall to mapan square

Which is about 5 km work is scheduled to start in 20126 and the budget is estimated at $44 million US city officials say that bus line here is very busy and moves 37,000 passengers daily so it is crucial to provide a dedicated bus lane which will make public transportation more efficient and reduce

Travel time by 25 minutes renovation here is also needed because there is a traffic accident every 3 days which makes the street one of the most dangerous in the city well this is a very good idea so let’s hope that Boston will succeed although as for me with

Such a passenger flow it is already possible to build a trim line instead of a bus maybe later one day they will do that the Spanish capital of Madrid has presented a strategic plan for Subway Development that includes the transition of line six and 8 to the use of

Driverless trains this will reduce the travel Headway to 2 minutes as well as energy consumption due to the smoother acceleration and breaking by the way line six is the busiest in the city and moves an average of 618,000 passengers daily for this upgrade the city plans to

Order 80 new trains that should arrive in 2026 29 and replace the current ones from 1980s and ’90s the French city of Leong is planning to build a new 8 km long trem line number 10 which should connect Leong with Veno the line will have 14 steps with

Connections to metal lines b and d and trm lines T1 and T4 as in the case with many Urban projects in Greater Leong this project will completely transform the streets with more bike Lanes trees and fewer cars after 3 years of construction works the future T10 is

Scheduled to be launched in the first quarter of 2026 it is expected that the new line will be used by 22,000 passengers daily with tramps running every 10 minutes from 5 a.m. to about half past the midnight the trip from altony garer station to GED the NIU will

Take 25 minutes compared to about 40 minutes with the current bus route and the last news for today is from Milwaukee County which decided not to purchase new battery electric buses in the near future The Local transportation company MCTS has been operating electric buses for about a

Year and now officials have decided to buy in the near future only diesel buses that’s because the battery buses in the county proved to be unreliable and some had to have their batteries replaced after just a month of operation on top of that the electric buses themselves are incredibly expensive $1.2 million

Each which is much more than the diesel ones another reason given is that there are no manufacturers on the American Market that officials trust for example Nova bus the company from which the county purchased its first electric buses left the American Market in 2023 and is not currently taking new orders

So now officials suggest that the county should continue to replace its outdated buses with the new diesel buses meanwhile the transition to alternative fuel buses will be suspended until these vehicles are further tested and become financially sustainable if only we could get electricity for movement not from the batteries but somehow else that

Would be great and that’s all the news for today hope you enjoyed this episode thanks for watching and see you in the next Videos
