after a quick look, and a bit mathematics, my home place is 1/32 of Lahore and we have 15 lines of Trams (Light Rail) and 20 Buslines, an S Bahn Network connecting City, Suburbs and even to many locations outside of the Canton or Country… i have trouble to imagine to live in a city that do not provide any public transport at all… and than this size….
Sofia is building new metro stations! I love your channel and would love to see my coubtry represented too! Great work!
AGH, always Alstom 🤬🤬🤬
Magdeburg's trams look amazing
I'm looking forward to opening of new tram line to Mistrzejowice in Kraków, Poland, you could include it in a urban news. But ill be in next year.
Any chance of flooding problems in Lodz?
Alstom be busy af
