In Odesa, on June 17, part of the electric transport routes will operate with restrictions due to scheduled work on the energy equipment. Several traction substations will be temporarily de-energized in the city, so some tram and trolleybus routes will be shortened, and buses will replace some trams on the lines. This was reported by the Odesa City Council.
Which trams will not operate on June 17
Due to repair work, the movement of tram routes No. 10, No. 13, No. 17, and No. 18 will be completely suspended.
At the same time, some trams will continue to operate on shortened schedules:
-
No. 5 will operate between the Bus Station and Oleksiyivska Square;
-
No. 7 will operate on the section "Starosinna Square – 28 Brigade Street";
-
No. 28 will operate between Pasteur Street and Oleksiyivska Square.
The restrictions primarily concern the Kyiv and Primorsky districts of the city.
Which buses will replace the tram routes
To transport passengers, the city authorities have organized temporary bus routes.
In particular:
-
instead of tram No. 5, bus No. 5tr will operate on the route "Train Station – Arcadia" via French Boulevard;
-
instead of trams No. 17 and No. 18, bus No. 18k will operate on the route "Kulikove Pole – 14th station of the Big Fountain".
The interval of the buses will be approximately from 40 to 60 minutes.
In addition, on the route normally served by tram No. 10, the number of buses on the city route No. 121 will be increased.
How the operation of trolleybuses will change
Temporary changes will also affect trolleybus routes.
On June 17, they will operate according to the following schemes:
-
No. 7 – from Architects' Street to April 10 Square;
-
No. 9 – from Inglez Street to April 10 Square;
-
No. 10 – from Inglez Street to the 4th station of the Big Fountain.
The city authorities ask passengers to take the changes into account when planning their trips and, if possible, to check the current public transport routes in advance.
