Electric transport stopped in Kherson: citizens warned about changes

In Kherson, trolleybus traffic has been temporarily suspended due to repairs at power supply facilities.

This was reported by the head of the Kherson City Military Administration Yaroslav Shanko.

According to him, electric transport is currently not running in Kherson due to the need for restoration work in the networks. Residents are urged to take this information into account when planning trips around the city.

The Kherson MVA noted that the resumption of trolleybus traffic will be announced later.

As Intent previously reported, on the morning of December 31, the head of the Odesa City Administration, Serhiy Lysak, said that due to a shortage of electricity, trams and trolleybuses in Odesa were not working yet.

In the evening of the same day, the mayors of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, and Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Senkevych, said that they had sent buses to Odesa to replace the trams and trolleybuses that were not working due to the power shortage.

Earlier, Lysak said that the city was expecting 40 buses from various other cities, including 10 buses each from Lviv and Kropyvnytskyi communities, five buses each from Mykolaiv and Zhytomyr, and three buses each from Vinnytsia and Mariupol. The Bila Tserkva community also joined the support. On the night of December 31, Russians attacked the housing, logistics, and energy infrastructure of Odesa Oblast.

In early January, the number of buses that Odesa received from other communities to replace electric vehicles increased to 27. At that time, the Mariupol community was added to Mykolaiv, Lviv, and Kropyvnytskyi.

The buses that Odesa received from other Ukrainian cities to compensate for the operation of electric transport have been tested and started running on January 5.

The mayor's office also reported that another route was introduced in Odesa in addition to the six previous ones. One bus will run from Svobody Avenue to Architektorskaya Street, thus duplicating the tram route No. 27.
