If your route goes through Trnavské mýto, one of Bratislava's busiest transport junctions, allow extra time. Due to repairs on the trolley network, tram traffic on lines 4 and 9 is interrupted here.
Both lines have been rerouted, and the city transport company has launched replacement buses that cover the closed section, reports Bratislava.zoznam.sk. For those who take line nine to Ružinov or line four towards Nové Mesto, this means changing trams or a longer journey. It all depends on where you are coming from and where you are going.
What to do: before you leave, check the current route map in the app or on the information boards at the stops. The tram diversion routes may not serve some of the usual stops, and in that case, the replacement bus is more convenient. The completion date for the repairs depends on the scope of work on the overhead lines, so if you travel in this direction regularly, it is worth monitoring the situation daily.
Such emergency repairs at Trnavské mýto are not new: the junction is indeed critical, and a large part of the city's tram traffic passes through it. So if your tram did not arrive this morning, you are not alone.
