On March 8, the movement of surface public transport in the central part of Kyiv will temporarily change. The reason is the holding of mass events in the city, due to which some routes will operate on alternative schemes. This was reported by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration.
The Kyiv City State Administration, citing KP “Kyivpastrans”, reported that the restrictions will be in effect in several stages. Some routes will change their movement from 11:00 to approximately 13:00, while others will do so from 12:00.
