In Kyiv, up to 40 trolleybuses and up to 25 trams are planned to be used at night to maintain the contact network, and duplicating bus routes will be introduced during the day on January 9. This was reported by the Kyiv City State Administration, writes UNN.
Details
Night movement of electric transport will be introduced to avoid icing of the contact network.
Electric transport will move according to actual weather conditions.
To ensure transport connection, duplicating bus routes have been organized in the following directions:
- instead of high-speed tram routes No. 1 and No. 3 – bus connection between Starovokzalna Street and Zhul Verne station;
- instead of tram routes No. 12 and No. 17 – bus connection between Taras Shevchenko Square and Pushcha-Vodytsia.
The Department emphasizes that the organization of duplicating routes is carried out in an operational mode, primarily on routes with the largest passenger traffic.
In addition, due to difficult weather conditions, cases of falling trees are recorded in certain areas of the city, which may lead to temporary delays in the movement of passenger transport. All relevant services promptly respond to such cases and take measures to eliminate the consequences as soon as possible.
At the same time, due to the significant amount and intensity of precipitation, the brigades of road maintenance departments work in an operational mode. Specialists carry out work on sections of possible and short-term stagnation of meltwater.
Due to bad weather, citizens and guests of the capital are urged to refrain from traveling by private car and use public transport if possible; drivers are urged not to park vehicles on the side of the roads so as not to hinder the work of special equipment; pedestrians are urged to be attentive and careful, move only on sidewalks and cross the road in designated places.
