In Mykolaiv, against the backdrop of emergency power outages due to a new massive attack by the criminal army of the Russian Federation on the energy system of Ukraine, public transport stopped working and educational institutions were closed.
In connection with the introduction of emergency power cuts, trolleybuses and trams will not run in Mykolaiv. Trolleybuses with autonomous operation up to 20 kilometers PTS will move on city routes until the batteries are discharged (from Namiv and Severnyi districts to Pushkinsky ring), — announced the mayor of the city Oleksandr Senkevich.
Sienkovych added that KP "Mykolaivpastrans" released an additional number of buses #91 to extend the route.
Buses will run to the Namiv microdistrict to the "Riviera" residential complex and back to Balabanivka. Applications for tracking transport also do not work, the mayor of the city emphasized.
As a result of the attack of the Russian occupiers on Lutsk, power outages also began to operate in the city due to the enemy hitting energy facilities.
We have several "arrivals" in our city. Until the end of the air alarm signal, we do not have the right to announce exactly where the enemy air targets were hit, — noted the mayor of Lutsk Ihor Polishchuk.
Unfortunately, electric transport is not working yet. We are working with carriers in order to block the number of passengers transported by electric buses. We are connecting critical infrastructure to alternative energy sources, — added the mayor of the city.
