Ufa Tramvaj Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The tram in Ufa, this is shot near the ice hockey stadium at Zorge. The fanshop of Salavat Yulayev Icehockey team is right here. :)

The tram does not come in a lot of streets, but it can bring you from one end to the other end of the town. The ride is very cheap, but many trams are very old. It has its charms. :) You get in and a lady or man comes to collect the money and gives you a ticket. It saved us from a lot of walking when we went to the autobus station.

The mini busses are easier, if you can read some Russian, and also very cheap. 15 to 20 roubles for a ride. Which is far less than one euro.
And if you really want to spend some money you can always take the taxi. If you don't show that you are foreigner and can bargain in Russian, it will take you anywhere in town for 5 to 10 euro.

Hi Admirall,
a beautiful shot of a beautiful place. The note is very helpful to know the place.
The tram colors just pop against white snow. Nicely composed and focused.
Thanks for sharing,
H Zubair

Hi Admirall,
I like this contrast between the color of trams and the snowy landscape.
The long perspective of rails creates a very beautiful composition.
Very well done
Diane

Hello Sander,
I like the colours of the photo: the red and yellow tram in the midst of white snowy surroundings... I can almost feel winter time again - in the middle of the summer!:)
It's good that there's another tram in the distance...
regards,
Elena
