The coronavirus pandemic saw numerous stringent measures introduced in Croatia, and now comes the second phase of loosening them gradually. While buses are in operation, only a select few trams in Zagreb have been. ZET made the decision to slow the return to normal for the trams owing not only to the need to be careful in the handling of coronavirus, but because of the damage caused by the Zagreb earthquake.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 4th of May, 2020, in the second phase of the gradual re-normalisation of ZET’s tram transportation, tram line 12 will be put back into service as of today, Monday, May the 4th, and line 5 will return to its usual route, ZET announced on Sunday.
Line 12 will operate on the modified route: Ljubljanica – Ulica Grada Vukovara – Držićeva – Šubićeva – Kvaternikov Square – Maksimirska – Dubrava. At the same time, tram line 5 will operate along its usual route from Monday, Prečko – Savska cesta – Ulica Grada Vukovara – Držićeva – Šubićeva – Kvaternikov Square – Maksimirska – Dubrava.
The statement recalls that as of the end of last month, more precisely April the 27th, tram line 3 has been running along the Ljubljanica – Ulica Grada Vukovara – Savišće route, while line 14 has been running from Zapruđe via the Remetinec roundabout to Ljubljanica.
ZET tram lines will continue to operate according to a customised schedule and more detailed information on the routes, lines, tram numbers and the current schedule, as well as any changes when they come in will be available on ZET’s official website.
“ZET’s expert services, in cooperation with other emergency services, are on the ground every day and are working intensively to ensure that tram traffic and other lines continue to be gradually established,” a statement from ZET said.
