Video: Public transportation came to a halt in two districts of Kyiv due to a power outage

Following the Russian Federation’s attack on September 30, approximately 30% of customers in the capital were left without power, including public transportation.

Videos have appeared online showing trams and the Vasylkivska metro station in Kyiv without power during rush hour. The lights also went out at the station following the explosions, but reports of train service being suspended have not been confirmed. The Kyiv City State Administration clarified that due to emergency power outages, electric surface transit is temporarily not operating in the Shevchenkivskyi and Holosiivskyi districts of the capital. 

Service on trams Nos. 1 and 3 and trolleybuses Nos. 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 16, 17, 19, 22-K, 23, 26, 27, 30, 35, and 41 have been temporarily suspended. Trams Nos. 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 19 are being rerouted to the Podil depot.
