right guys i have made it as far as lisbon um and yeah it's it's great here and what is the
one thing that any kind of transport enthusiast has to do when they get to lisbon you guessed it
line 28 the most fantastic historical tram ride anywhere in the world apparently well i'm gonna
see for myself whether that is true or not because in about half an hour i'm gonna nip out of the
hotel head down towards line 28 and see if i can get a seat on it which is the first objective
and i'm gonna ride it for your enjoyment so um yeah please come with me for this and
hopefully it's gonna be great um i'm really looking forward to it let's go and make a trip
okay so id arrived in lisbon a day later than planned so i only really had a few hours to do
this trip i bought a viva viagem one day travel card at the station for six euros 90 cents and
that included the historic trams plus the metro bus funiculars etc and it would also get me to the
airport for my flight the next morning and well worth the money in my opinion and now the actual
tram network in lisbon has been around since 1873 however it's only certain lines that use the
historic and iconic 90 year old trams I would be using this evening so after a hastily constructed plan i
kind of sketched out on a tourist map at the hotel i figured that if i got down to martim moniz which
is the main starting point i could do the whole length of the line from east to west and finally
ending up at prazeres on the other side of the city at this time of day of course everybody else
had got the same idea well i joined the queue and yeah it took about half an hour before i was able
to get on board you do have to suck it up really if you want a seat but the trams are quite regular
around about every 10 minutes maximum at this time of day i reckon and note that they don't fill them
to capacity here because if you're happy to stand you can do what the locals do and just nip around
the corner then you can get on board quicker and at the first of many of the stops en route
well to give you a feel for the sights and sounds of the city and its trams
i'm not going to talk over this video too much nor am i going to use a soundtrack
just come along for the ride and enjoy the highlights for yourself
i really believe it's worth every second of the journey even when you get stuck behind one of the
many potential obstructions on route fortunately on this occasion the owner wasn't too far away
well guys my life is complete just got off the tram the lisbon tram at prazares which
is the end of the line line 28 and there's quite a bit of a queue let's get back
everybody has to get off here and then and yeah there's a bit of a queue to get back on it so
i don't think i'm going to do that i'm going to wander off down the line a bit because when i got
on the train there was a massive queue then but people just like kind of the locals would be down
a couple of stops further on where there was no queue so i'm going to try that in a bit but i'm
just going to chill out here for for 10 minutes now and watch some of them go past it's a
lovely evening for it so thanks for watching and i will catch you again on another video soon cheers for now!
