In Kyiv, after a massive Russian attack on the night of July 2, the operation of public transport has been temporarily modified. Due to damage to the contact network, lack of electricity supply, and the aftermath of the shelling, the movement of dozens of trolleybus and tram routes is delayed. This is reported by the Kyiv City State Administration.

Consequences of the attack on Kyiv: how bus routes have changed
Due to the closure of traffic on Taras Shevchenko Boulevard, buses №114 and №118 are temporarily rerouted.
Their route goes through Velyka Vasylkivska Street, Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi Street, Volodymyrska Street, and then returns to Taras Shevchenko Boulevard.
The Kyiv City State Administration notes that the changes are related to the liquidation of the consequences of the massive Russian attack and the restoration of damaged transport infrastructure.
According to the State Emergency Service, as of the morning of July 2, at least 13 people died as a result of the strike. Rescuers continue to clear the debris, particularly in the Darnytskyi district, where part of a nine-story residential building was destroyed.
It should be noted that in Kyiv, partial traffic restrictions on one of the key transport arteries in the Pechersk district were imposed for almost a month.
