Tram and trolleybus services in Kyiv temporarily suspended: Buses to cover some routes. LIST
All tram and trolleybus services in Kyiv will be temporarily suspended from the evening of 3 November. Buses will cover some routes to maintain transport connections.
The Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) reported this, according to Censor.NET.
Suspension of tram and trolleybus services
The restrictions have been necessitated by the critical situation in the country’s power system following enemy attacks on infrastructure.
Municipal transport operator Kyivpastrans is organising replacement bus services to maintain connections on selected routes.
The replacement buses will not be able to fully match the passenger capacity of electric public transport. The number deployed will depend on the availability of buses and drivers, passenger demand, and the current situation in the city.
Replacement bus timetables will be published shortly on the Kyivpastrans website.
"The metro is currently operating normally. However, its continued operation will depend on the situation in the power system. Tram and trolleybus services will resume once the situation in the power system stabilises," the statement reads.

Background
- Earlier reports said emergency power cuts were in effect in Kyiv and the region following damage to facilities at the Kyiv regional power hub caused by Russian attacks.
- Ukrenergo said that one of the enemy’s largest attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure began overnight on 3 November and was still underway. Today’s attacks have further worsened the situation in the power system.
- Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said Russian attacks had left the capital facing an extremely difficult power supply situation. Warming centres are being set up in areas worst affected by power outages.
