Trolleybus burnout

[lalumking]

Ikarus at the end- LIKE A BOSS :)

[killer8353]

stupid:_(

[isomolle]

Winter tyres and less pressure on the accelerator would help.

[INeedToLiveLonger]

what country is it?

[tomankt]

@INeedToLiveLonger It's Russia. Moscow, capital of Russia.

[INeedToLiveLonger]

@tomankt i though so but i asked because i didn't see any cyrylic letters on adverts next to road,  the same or very similar machines were riding in Poland

[tomankt]

@INeedToLiveLonger Actually, there is one :) At 1:12-1:20 you can see at the bottom right corner a big cyrillic letter Ц (in the words "ХОР ТУРЕЦКОГО")which is visually distinct from any of latin letters. Also, cyrillic capital letter У differs from latin capital Y in being asymmetrical...

[INeedToLiveLonger]

@tomankt haha, yes you are right, and at the beginning everything on trolleybus looks like in cyrylic but unreadable, how is living in Moscow?

[gtasandman]

@tomankt first time i see a tough russian automobile stuck

[DmytroAv]

trolleybuses always start more rough than buses. but the road is really slippery. in addition there may be some problems with trolleybus (imho) because in Dnipropetrovsk YuMZ start normally even in winter

[47fav]

фу го..го, лучше АКСМ 321!

[powerpod100]

no its russian electric bus

[marchrabbit85]

Каждую лютую зиму так отжигают тролли.

[mbsmike1]

the driver sucks, simply mashing the petal to the metal does not work, fucking amatures.

[E22Videos]

Funny but really loud! lol

[Airox2009]

What a piece of shit!

[Modeltrainguy]

Interesting! 5 Stars!

[sideslide23]

they need to put chain on the rear tires of these buses.

[savtasaba]

NICE!

[NeloSlate]

да на индире такая хуета каждую зиму

[Gandalfkun]

This is an Ikarus or what?

[tomankt]

Ikarus-280 is the bus from about 1:32 up to end of the video. The wheelslipping trolleybus is YuMZ (model YuMZ-T2).

And there is also another bus, at about 0:53-1:09, it is LiAZ-5256. (And also one Ikarus-280 is descending at the other side at 0:58-1:00, and just one another is standing further at the terminal station...)

Да

[floodedcar123]

was it he or she that was driving?

[Trabantino]

Whatever, I admire all the countries stuck into snow for months in winter, who can still have a normal life. In France, when it snows half an inch in Paris, it's a total chaos.

[trwrk]

а на маневровом не судьба стартануть? Водила, мля, пероразрядник.

[Derengar]

Узнаю Площадь Индиры Ганди

[floodedcar123]

that must of been anoying sitting on the bus, and have to listen to that.

[floodedcar123]

i wanted to see the spinning tire. That would have been fun.

[Lalli1987]

Let meg guess, Ikarus, right?:D

Quality hungarian products you know...

[tomankt]

The bus departing at 1:30 is Ikarus-280. Also 2 similar articulated buses, 1 descending on the other side, and 1 just arriving to the yellow terminal station on that side. Other vehicles are not Ikarus - the subject trolleybus is from ukrainian YuMZ, and simple (non-articulated) bus at 0:55 is from russian LiAZ.

[SPS148669]

Now those are some bald ass tires! ha ha ha

[raptor750r]

so wait, this is a bus with rubber tires that drive on tarmac, but it uses electricity to power it? would'nt it have tracks if that was the case?

[tomankt]

Trolleybus in general is namely a bus with electric motor instead of combustion engine. Actually, a lot of trolleybus routes in Moscow were created as a substitution, when corresponding tramway/streetcar lines were eliminated (as early as 1930s-1950s - trolleybus at all have been existing in Moscow since 1934, and in a very short time after its introduction began to prey tram lines). The aim was, apparently, to get rid of tracks' construction (for new lines) and maintainance costs...

[raptor750r]

so does this mean that if the driver decided to steer in the wrong direction he could rip the bus away from the wires? I just find this a very odd design.

[tomankt]

In theory, yes, he could. But for what reason should he eventually turn somewhere out from his route? Actually, this sometimes happens although, mostly when overhead point fails for some reason, and trolley poles go to the wrong direction, and the driver fails to notice that fact (usually, when the point fails, driver notices that before that wrong line declines, stops the trolleybus, and sets poles to the other line manually, by means of ropes attached to the trolley poles).

[tomankt]

But nevertheless, I believe also that this is odd design. And the main reason is not even some problems of driving in tight traffic (that really exist - as speed restrictions due to some overhead devices, points etc.), but electrical danger for passengers. In a wet weather, and especially in winter (that means here in Moscow always wet road with a lot of salt) there is a probability that voltage from one of poles appears on the trolleybus body, hitting passengers when they board.

[tomankt]

In the history of Moscow trolleybus there were dozens of deaths from such electrical leaks.About 11 years ago I was slightly hit, in winter, also, when used trolleybus to get to the school.The current went through my left hand to both feet, and I felt that my heart skipped several beats.Other passengers also reported the problem to the driver, and he went out, tested it by his own hands, said "yes, it does!" and .. continued the journey.

[tomankt]

..Desprite he should 1)remove both poles from wires and 2)make all passengers go to the ground, 3)close doors, raise poles and leave without passengers.

Since that case I enter into a trolleybus (and go to the ground from it) only by synchronous jump (as do also all experienced trolleybus drivers :) ) because this is the only electrically safe way.

Tramway car as a rail vehicle isn't so dangerous being always well electrically attached to the ground by rails and steel wheels...

[reeko14]

Trolley Buses in philadelphia have a engine back up so if something like this happen all they have to do is put the poles down and turn the engine on

[gertgertgert18]

een trolleybus gaat klapband veroorzaken

[vonchappell]

With all the books i've read I would never take the piss at how cold big old russia can get. Russian/Polish oh hell all of eastern europe you have my respect in how to cope with the cold and the very hot summers.

[RussianRailroad]

чето я не понял он буксовал?

[tomankt]

Ага. Левым колесом (аж пар идёт, там видно). Блокировок дифференциала-то нету у него :)

[vovchiko]

this is what a surge is guys// dont play-fuck with electricity ))

[vovchiko]

the engine is Cold../

[vovchiko]

u think this is COOL? go to Kharkov in winter! noobs!!

[kirill765]

Is it UKRAINE???

[tomankt]

This case was in Moscow, Russia. But the trolleybus itself has been manufactured by an ukrainian plant...

[SentinelNikolaev]

ЮМЗ Т2 ????!!

[jemdude22]

Or the trolleybus bus needs a change of tyres.
