According to the Municipal Transport Authority, the traction network was broken at one of the key intersections of Mokotów - Puławska and Woronicza. As a result of the failure, tram lines 4, 10, 18 and 31 changed their routes.
Changes to tram routes
Due to damage to the traction network, detours were introduced for several tram lines. Lines 4 and 10 in both directions were directed along the route: Puławska - Rakowiecka - Wołoska to the Woronicza loop.
Trams on line 18 run in both directions along the route: Puławska - Rakowiecka - Wołoska to their own route. However, line 31 runs in both directions: Wołoska - Woronicza to the Mokotów Depot.
Replacement transport for passengers
To make it easier for passengers to move around the city, a special bus line Z "Za Tramwaj" was launched. Buses run on the following route: Metro Wilanowska 02 – Puławska – Waryńskiego – Jazdy Polska roundabout – DS Riviera 01.
