Tale of the Permian tram

Writes macos:

Trams for many - a favorite form of public transport. They are harmless to the environment, their routes are always direct and faster bus, and someone sees them, even some special, tram romance.

In Perm, tram - special control. In other cities, routes cut, the track is removed from the streets in the capital of Ural opposite: for "horned" build separate lanes, buy new cars, while the city administration has plans to launch a high-speed tram, as a replacement has not built the subway.

Now Perm operates one tram depot, Balatovo. There we went.





1. The history of the Permian tram began in 1929. Depot Balatovo appeared only in 1958. It was the third in Perm, and was built to transport passengers from the new district to other parts of the city.



2. Two years ago, the depot "Red October" was suspended, and all 206 trams of the city of Perm were transferred here.



3. The bulk of the rolling stock in the park elderly - the average age of the Permian tram 15 years. There are "old-timers", they are already over 30.



4. To develop this type of transport is impossible without upgrading cars. Therefore, the management of depot went on an interesting step - tram test drive. They got in touch with the leading car-building factory of the country, asking them for a while in one tram, the latest and most modern model.



5. Plants supported the idea, and highlighted on the car park of Perm.

17. Repair database. This pit is held every tram, every day, before going to the flight.



18. Here they rapidly obstukivayut, inspect and release with God.



19. Some linger. If the machine that something is wrong, it will not be released to the route. Also, every six months trams pass MOT.

21. Unfortunately, the tram transportation occupy only one-third of the passenger transport market in Perm. It's no wonder there are only 10 routes. Previously, it was almost twice as high. But at the same time in all the streets, which is undergoing reconstruction or expansion of the roadway, lay separate lanes for trams, rail transport is planned summing up the sleeping areas. As they walk, mainly in the central part of the city.
