How Public Transportation Is Operating in Kyiv After the Attack
Due to the aftermath of the shelling, traffic across the South Bridge has been restricted, according to the Kyiv City Military Administration.
The changes also affected train service on the Green Line (Syretsko-Pecherska) of the metro. Currently, trains are running on two separate sections:
- between the “Syrets” and “Vydubychi” stations;
- between the “Osokorky” and “Chervonyi Khutir” stations.
The Kyiv City Military Administration urged Kyiv residents to take these restrictions into account when planning their routes.
