In Kyiv, on the morning of November 2, metro and ground electric transport operations were temporarily restricted due to voltage fluctuations. As of 10:02, the subway returned to regular operation, but passengers should consider other changes in transport operation. This was reported by Kyiv City State Administration.
Kyiv metro resumed operation on all lines on November 2, 2026
The reason for the morning restrictions was significant voltage fluctuations from external power supply sources. The disruptions affected two subway lines:
- green: trains were temporarily not running between Osokorky and Chervonyi Khutir stations;
- red: trains were only operating between Akademmistechko and Arsenalna stations; the above-ground section was not functioning;
- blue: continued to transport passengers in normal mode.
Later, movement on the red line was completely restored. Trains also resumed service between Osokorky and Chervonyi Khutir. According to the Kyiv City State Administration, as of 10:02, the subway is operating as usual.
This update specifically pertains to the subway. It does not confirm the automatic resumption of all tram and trolleybus routes in the capital.
Above-ground transport in Kyiv: where disruptions occurred on November 2, 2026
Due to issues with power supply, movement was suspended on the Borshchahivka line of the rapid tram and on Vydradnyi Avenue. The message about the metro's resumption does not separately confirm the launch of these routes.
Therefore, before traveling by rapid tram or transferring at Vydradnyi, it is necessary to check the operational announcements from Kyivpastrans. A message about the normal operation of the metro does not automatically mean that the entire route to the destination is already available.
For communication between the banks, the latest information about the movement on the Southern Bridge is also important. Earlier, after damage to the crossing, the city changed the bus transport schemes.
A practical guideline for passengers: the metro has resumed regular operation as of 10:02, while the status of above-ground routes should be clarified separately. In particular, it is worth checking the current scheme if the journey depends on restrictions on the Southern Bridge, as previous announcements may have been updated.
