Public transport in Zaporizhzhia changed routes on December 1, 2025

In Zaporizhzhia, on December 1, public transport operates on changed routes. The reason is the closure of traffic across the DniproHES dam and possible power outages affecting the operation of electric transport. The Zaporizhzhia City Council reports this writes.

Trolleybuses, trams, and buses temporarily run on updated routes. Some routes have been adjusted or replaced with additional buses to ensure communication between the left-bank and right-bank parts of the city. The city council reports that the changes will be in effect throughout the day, with timetables published separately.

The work of electric transport is organized as follows:

• trams No. 3, 10, 15 run on approved routes

• tram No. 14 operates on the route “Highway – Freedom Square”

• tram No. 16 – “Pavlo-Kichkas – Zaporizhzhia Circus”
