Tatra T4R in Motion Bucharest’s Disappearing Workhorse 1973–2024 The Sound of a Vanishing Tram Era

🎥 *Experience the raw atmosphere of Bucharest’s legendary Tatra T4R tram – before it disappears for good.*

In this video, you’ll be taken aboard several rare surviving units of the iconic *Tatra T4R*, once the backbone of Bucharest’s public transport network. From exterior shots across different locations in the city to immersive in-cabin views — this montage captures the daily rhythm of a tram that defined an era.

🔊 *What makes this video special?*
Half of the runtime is dedicated to *live onboard audio*:
– the distinct whir of electric traction motors
– doors slamming shut with that unmistakable echo
– passengers boarding and exiting
– the creaking of suspension on tight curves
– the heartbeat of an old, but proud machine

📍 Featuring units with authentic fleet numbers, recorded across Bucharest in 2024 — this is not just a video, but a *tribute to an engineering icon* that served the city for over 50 years.

🛠️ Built by ČKD Tatra in Czechoslovakia and delivered between 1973 and 1992, the T4R trams were specially adapted for Romania. At their peak, over 300 units ran across the capital.

🚋 Today, only a handful remain in service — most are retired, scrapped, or in storage.
