Air-raid alerts shut down gas stations in Mykolaiv: city buses fell behind schedule due to fuel shortages

In the first half of the day in Mykolaiv, city buses deviated from the schedule due to prolonged air raid alerts and the suspension of gas station operations, the municipal enterprise «Mykolaivpastrans» reported.

The enterprise explained that during the announcement of an air raid alert gas stations temporarily stop operating due to the threat of attacks, so part of the fleet could not refuel in time, which caused disruptions in dispatching vehicles to the routes.

According to the carrier, this led to deviations from the timetable on certain routes and trips specifically in the first half of the day, but service is gradually being stabilized as the ability to refuel vehicles is restored. The official announcement was published on Mykolaivpastrans’s page on Facebook.

“We apologize for the temporary inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. We remind you, the enemy is insidious, and people’s safety is the most important thing,” reads the statement of the municipal enterprise «Mykolaivpastrans».
