00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.981
(Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong)
Hello

2
00:00:00.981 --> 00:00:03.602
How far have you been in Hong Kong?

3
00:00:03.602 --> 00:00:04.840
(Pumped up)

4
00:00:04.840 --> 00:00:06.200
Hello, today we will

5
00:00:06.441 --> 00:00:07.939
introduce you to Hong Kong's traditional tram

6
00:00:08.289 --> 00:00:11.110
and how to ride it

7
00:00:11.110 --> 00:00:13.201
First, the place we are at

8
00:00:13.201 --> 00:00:15.501
located in the eastern part of Hong Kong

9
00:00:15.842 --> 00:00:17.482
is a tram station

10
00:00:17.482 --> 00:00:19.000
This is the terminal station, everyone

11
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.360
If you look at the tram route map

12
00:00:21.701 --> 00:00:24.181
This is the far west of Hong Kong

13
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.941
This is the far east

14
00:00:26.941 --> 00:00:28.249
(Only operates on Hong Kong Island)

15
00:00:28.249 --> 00:00:30.740
Also, the ones marked in green

16
00:00:30.861 --> 00:00:32.402
are such terminal endpoints

17
00:00:32.402 --> 00:00:34.942
that tram only operates until that station

18
00:00:35.302 --> 00:00:38.060
But all trams follow the same

19
00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:39.721
route on this line

20
00:00:39.722 --> 00:00:40.647
Except here

21
00:00:40.940 --> 00:00:43.840
It operates on the same route except here

22
00:00:43.841 --> 00:00:44.620
(One line)

23
00:00:44.620 --> 00:00:46.440
What are the advantages of trams, everyone?

24
00:00:46.441 --> 00:00:47.220
(Quiz)

25
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:48.060
It's cheap

26
00:00:48.503 --> 00:00:49.623
It's very cheap

27
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.000
It only costs 3 dollars for adults

28
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:52.920
It used to be 2 dollars

29
00:00:52.921 --> 00:00:55.449
It was recently increased by 1 dollar which makes it 3 dollars

30
00:00:55.450 --> 00:00:57.738
(Boarding)

31
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.320
The lower deck is like this

32
00:01:00.663 --> 00:01:02.303
with single seats

33
00:01:02.303 --> 00:01:04.204
and spaces to sit together

34
00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.860
You pay when you get off the tram

35
00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:09.701
We will go up to the second deck

36
00:01:09.701 --> 00:01:11.041
(Can accommodate 40-70 people)

37
00:01:11.041 --> 00:01:13.880
There are plenty of seats

38
00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:17.801
My favorite seat is at the back here

39
00:01:17.801 --> 00:01:18.330
Like this

40
00:01:18.331 --> 00:01:19.360
(Facing seats)

41
00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:20.520
The Hong Kong tram actually

42
00:01:20.521 --> 00:01:22.541
started in 1904

43
00:01:22.541 --> 00:01:24.860
Among the tram systems still in operation

44
00:01:24.861 --> 00:01:26.605
it is said to be one of the oldest

45
00:01:26.605 --> 00:01:29.140
That's right, that means it's 125 years old

46
00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:31.000
It's 120 years old

47
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.900
It can be considered as a part of Hong Kong's living history

48
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.460
As far as I know

49
00:01:35.461 --> 00:01:38.141
it can't operate well without government subsidies

50
00:01:38.141 --> 00:01:40.720
Of course, with such low fares

51
00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:42.000
Actually, it's part of Hong Kong culture

52
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.620
We also ride the tram

53
00:01:43.621 --> 00:01:46.290
Hong Kong people also really like riding trams

54
00:01:46.291 --> 00:01:47.230
Right, right, right

55
00:01:47.230 --> 00:01:48.800
Now, let me show you the differences

56
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.140
This is a new model tram

57
00:01:51.385 --> 00:01:53.745
At a glance, it looks very new and clean

58
00:01:54.065 --> 00:01:55.420
Look at the tram behind

59
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.440
If you look inside

60
00:01:57.661 --> 00:02:00.411
It's still the old tram

61
00:02:00.411 --> 00:02:01.801
Actually, even the chairs are different

62
00:02:01.801 --> 00:02:02.560
(Interior difference)

63
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.121
And actually, trams are

64
00:02:04.121 --> 00:02:05.642
only available on Hong Kong Island

65
00:02:06.020 --> 00:02:07.540
But the good part is

66
00:02:07.541 --> 00:02:09.781
the reason why Hong Kong people ride it often is because

67
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.960
First, they run on tram lanes

68
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.820
So, trams don't get stuck in traffic

69
00:02:14.820 --> 00:02:15.300
That's right

70
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:16.881
Because other cars

71
00:02:16.881 --> 00:02:18.566
during rush hour

72
00:02:18.566 --> 00:02:20.880
as everyone knows, get extremely congested

73
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:22.800
But since trams have separate tracks

74
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.360
trams are actually the fastest

75
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.140
Yes, yes, that's right

76
00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:28.460
And the second advantage of trams is

77
00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:31.180
The subway station and the tram

78
00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:34.767
The distance between subway stations

79
00:02:35.128 --> 00:02:36.020
on Hong Kong Island is a bit far

80
00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:38.060
For one subway station

81
00:02:38.061 --> 00:02:41.090
It already passed about 5 or 6 tram stops

82
00:02:41.410 --> 00:02:43.000
So they're a bit closer

83
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:44.860
and this way

84
00:02:45.141 --> 00:02:46.518
you don't have to walk as much

85
00:02:46.518 --> 00:02:49.200
So trams might actually be much better

86
00:02:49.201 --> 00:02:50.673
(View from the second floor)

87
00:02:50.673 --> 00:02:52.040
Very closely

88
00:02:52.041 --> 00:02:54.282
a tram from the opposite side is coming

89
00:03:13.469 --> 00:03:14.789
(Arrival)

90
00:03:15.942 --> 00:03:16.544
(Payment)

91
00:03:20.093 --> 00:03:22.814
If you pay with Master or Visa

92
00:03:23.694 --> 00:03:26.380
there's currently a promotion giving a 1 dollar discount

93
00:03:26.380 --> 00:03:29.740
Because previously, it only accepted Autopass cards

94
00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:31.640
But now a new system came out

95
00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:33.200
I bought it for 2 dollars

96
00:03:33.420 --> 00:03:36.060
If you come and pay with a Visa card

97
00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:37.710
it's probably 2 dollars

98
00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:40.040
So far, among the transportation methods in Hong Kong

99
00:03:40.041 --> 00:03:42.841
we've tried one of the most famous, the tram

100
00:03:43.201 --> 00:03:43.761
So far this was

101
00:03:43.761 --> 00:03:45.968
How far have you been in Hong Kong?

102
00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:47.700
Bye bye

103
00:03:48.028 --> 00:04:00.348
