Russian attack on Kyiv: ’Chernihivska’ and ’Lisova’ stations temporarily closed; bus services increased. VIDEO
In Kyiv, a Russian attack has damaged a metro surface station, the tracks and the cable network. As a result, there are changes to metro services between the ‘Akademmistechko’ and ‘Lisova’ stations. A decision has also been taken to increase surface transport services to ensure connections between districts and reduce the burden on the underground network.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the Kyiv City State Administration.
Due to damage to the metro infrastructure, trains will begin running in the morning between the "Akademmistechko" and "Darnytsia" stations according to the timetable.
At the same time, the above-ground stations ‘Chernihivska’ and ‘Lisova’ will be temporarily closed to passengers entering and exiting.
Update
The "Chernihivska" metro station sustained heavy damage during a nighttime rocket attack.
Buses will be added to the routes
To ensure passenger transport on the left bank of the capital and connections to other parts of the city, the number of buses on routes No. 1-M and No. 118 will be increased.
Specifically, the following will be added to the temporary route No. 1-M:
-
3 buses, which will run between the ‘Lisova’ and ‘Darnytsia’ metro stations;
-
12 buses, which will transport passengers from the ‘Lisova’ metro station to the ‘Palats Sportu’ station.
In addition, two more buses will be deployed on route No. 118.
