Those power lines will be the ones for the trolley buses I expect. Lost count of the number of times the pick up hooks fall off the cables in the middle of a big junction and the driver has to hook them back on.
Some of that driving is exactly like that I witnessed. In the rush hour the cops park down the central reservation. So drivers just drive down the wrong side of the road!
Can’t believe I didn’t die in the 3 weeks I spent there. In fact from all those vids, I wonder how there can be any Russians still alive. When we saw the first ambulance in Moscow, we shat ourselves for the rest of the trip, and literally prayed for 3 weeks that we wouldn’t need one.
