Looks very stressful considering how many people walk out in front of a moving tram

[_Grops_]

I‘m a tram driver in Germany and we see the same stuff here as well. So humans really act the same, wherever they are in the world.
As I‘m saying driving the tram is the easiest part, saving countless lives a day is the hard part.

As a rail worker I have a deep respect for tram drivers. HK is one of my on-the-list destinations specially for the trams. I've been only on its airport linking to Manila. Regards from Barcelona!

Props to the tram driver for not swerving all over the place and causing a larger accident

1:05 even to this day, people still fail to look both ways before crossing.
props to that driver

The sound of that motor took me back to the heat, the aroma and the bustle of this amazing city. Thanks and keep up the good work

5:49 - the good old "have you tried turn it off and on again" just works in most situations. Also it's crazy how suicidal diverted the people are sometimes. An old tram isn't a silent machine so you should hear it approaching with ease, but still people are just walking straight in front of it. Being part of the public transport system in HongKong must be a stressful job.
Thanks for the video, i really enjoyed watching it.

Massive respect for the excellent driving! We have trams in Nottingham however they are the newer, low floor articulated style so it was nice to see some clips of the classic double decker style!

I love videos like this, something about seeing distant culture and how people just live their lifes is so interesting and entertaining.

Excellent video. Certainly as a Tram Driver, you have to be aware of what’s going on around you at all times.
Oh how I miss Hong Kong. I have been there twice. Such a fantastic place to go to. So many things to see and do. Even a boat trip out to one of its outlying islands. You’ll be surprised as to what you will find on these islands.

I was a UK train driver for 22 years. I wouldn't last 22 minutes doing that. All credence to you.

This guy has amazing patience. If it were me the passengers would have learned a whole new vocabulary!

[JaroslavDanielSolek]

Good driving, Sir! Its nice to see, its not just in Czech Republic, where people dont give a damn about something so "small" like a tram.. Keep making the videos, please. =)

I know it's difficult, but please do your best.!

I was a tram driver in Vienna (Austria) for a few years and I thought our pedestrians were bad, this is a nightmare in comparison xD But the flair overall feels very familiar :D

It’s really cool seeing these double decker trams and buses to help ease congestion in a very dense urban environment. Helps to put less cars on the roads in an already crowded area and get people where they need to go.

And thats why it’s taught to look left and right before crossing be it streets or tracks (all though if you see a train/tram coming at high speed it’s very likely to late)

[Bond-fxsi]

We really enjoyed watching that. HK tram drivers must be on high alert all the time when driving. Keep up the safe operations Sir

[Benjamin.Jamin.]

It is strange to see UK type road markings, street furniture and busses in such an otherwise exotic place.

You are a great driver!

What is in mind of those people who walking across rails without looks into sides? Parents didn't teach them anything?
