Kyiv is introducing two levels of air threat – “yellow” and “red”, which will determine the operation of the metro and ground transport. During drone attacks, restrictions on transport will be softer, and during missile threats, ballistic launches, or massive combined attacks, stricter rules will apply.

This is reported by “News.LIVE” .

The new system should reduce transport restrictions during prolonged air raids in the capital and facilitate the movement of citizens, in particular between the left and right banks of Kyiv.

During the “yellow” danger level, which will mainly be announced during drone attacks, the Syretsko-Pechersk, or green, metro line will operate in full without stopping traffic in open areas.

On the Svyatoshynsko-Brovarskaya, or red, metro line, during the alarms, additional ground transport will be used to duplicate services. In particular, the number of buses and trolleybuses will be significantly increased on the section between the “Lisova” and “Dnipro” stations.

The “red” alert level will be applied in the event of missile threats, ballistic missile launches, or massive combined attacks. In such cases, stricter restrictions will apply.

According to the publication, the new system should apply to the capital’s underground and surface public transport.

It was previously reported that Ukraine will introduce two levels of air alert depending on the threat . During the “yellow” alert, businesses will be able to continue operating, while the “red” alert will require businesses to stop and people to take shelter.

Recall that the Minister of Recovery, Infrastructure and Transport of Ukraine Mykola Kalashnyk announced the preparation of solutions for the operation of transport and logistics during prolonged air strikes . The proposals should ensure the safety of people and at the same time stable train traffic.
