Russian shelling paralyzed Kyiv's trams and trolleybuses: which routes are not working.

According to inkorr.com: In Kyiv, the movement of several trams and trolleybuses has been temporarily suspended due to fluctuations in the energy system caused by the latest Russian shelling. This was reported by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration.

Which tram routes were suspended in Kyiv on October 22

According to information from the city administration, tram services on routes No. 1, 3, and 15 have been suspended. To ensure transportation between districts, duplicate buses with numbers 1-T and 3-T have been organized. Trams on routes No. 11, 12, 16, and 19 currently only run to the Podil depot.

Which trolleybus routes were suspended in Kyiv on October 22

Trolleybuses on routes No. 5, 6, 7, 16, 18, 19, 23, 26, 28, 31, 33, 35, and 41 have also been temporarily suspended. Some trolleybuses have changed their routes:

• No. 12 runs between the railway station 'Central' and the metro station 'Lybidska';

• No. 31 goes to the railway platform 'Kurenivka'.

When will tram and trolleybus services resume in Kyiv

The Kyiv City State Administration indicated that movement will be restored after the stabilization of voltage in the energy system. As of the evening, according to updated information, trolleybuses No. 5 and No. 41 have already returned to their regular schedule. Subsequently, routes No. 6, 7, 16, 18, 19, 28, 33, and 35 were also restored.

Energy workers explain that such interruptions are caused by network overload due to Russian attacks on energy facilities, leading to short-term voltage spikes. This triggers automatic disconnection of the transport infrastructure to prevent damage to equipment.

The capital's authorities have urged residents to be understanding of these temporary inconveniences and emphasized that the resumption of urban electric transport will occur immediately after the stabilization of energy supply.

Temporary disruptions in public transport operation highlight the impact of hostilities on the daily lives of the capital's residents. The authorities urge Kyiv residents to be patient and follow updates on the resumption of routes due to changes in the energy situation.
