Public transport partially halted in Kyiv due to power supply problems - Kyivpastrans
Electric public transport was partially suspended in Kyiv on Friday morning due to a lack of voltage in the power system, with problems reported in the Obolonsky, Podilsky and Sviatoshynsky districts, municipal transport operator Kyivpastrans said on Telegram.
A petition on the Kyiv City Council website proposing motorboats for passenger transport along the Dnipro River in the capital did not receive the necessary 6,000 votes to be considered. The initiative was submitted on August 10 and, as of October 9, had only garnered 459 votes. The petition claimed that adding motorboats and rowboats to the Dnipro's passenger transport would alleviate the burden on municipal ground transport such as buses, trams, and trolleybuses, as well as the metro.
However, a similar petition advocating for the restoration and improvement of public river transport on the Dnipro in June also failed to reach the required vote count. It was previously reported that The Telegraph published an article suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin has tasked General Sergei Surovikin with dismantling bridges over the Dnipro, which are vital to the functioning of the Ukrainian capital.
