Electric public transport in Kyiv to partially resume operations

Electric public transport services on the right bank of Kyiv are set to partially resume starting February 26.

In a positive development for the residents of Kyiv, electric public transport services on the right bank of the city will gradually resume from February 26. This decision comes from the Kyiv City Military Administration, which has assessed that the current technical capabilities allow for the revival of these services after a period of disruption. The announcement signals a return to a somewhat normal transportation system amidst ongoing challenges posed by the ongoing conflict and energy shortages resulting from Russian attacks.

The restoration of electric transport on the left bank, as well as the routes that connect both banks of the city, is contingent upon improvements in the energy system and the absence of further infrastructure damage. Currently, the focus is on ensuring that transportation remains functional, particularly on the left bank, where certain bus routes will be temporarily reinforced to compensate for the lack of electric service. This adaptation showcases how local authorities are maneuvering to meet public transportation needs despite the obstacles.

With the ongoing conflict and its socio-economic impacts, the gradual resume of public transport in Kyiv illustrates the resilience of the city and its administration in restoring essential services. The situation remains dynamic, with further restoration efforts hinging on the broader energy context and security conditions in Ukraine, especially as the war continues to disrupt daily life and infrastructure.
