Do not plan an electric-transport journey from a route number remembered from an earlier trip. Identify the starting point, direction and mode, then check recent service notices. The operator publishes these details separately so that an old route plan is not mistaken for current service.
Choose the correct mode and route
The timetable page separates tram and trolleybus routes. Choose the mode first, then identify the route by its direction and endpoints. A familiar number alone is not enough to confirm the current path.
The destination name does not describe every intermediate stop. Find your boarding stop in the current route description and check the direction. The return journey may use a different sequence of streets or a stop on the other side of the road.
Timetable and service notice
The timetable describes planned service, while the notice feed covers temporary changes. Read them together. During the period named in a notice, information about reduced service, a diversion or early closure takes priority over the regular timetable.
Do not copy a temporary time or repair notice into a permanent note without its date. A notice may apply only to one day, an evening period or a particular section. Once the restriction ends, the notice is a record of a past event rather than guidance for the next journey.
Live vehicle positions are an extra signal
The operator provides a digital view of routes and vehicle locations. A marker can help assess the situation but does not guarantee arrival to the minute. Data delays, congestion, a technical interruption or a diversion can make the screen differ from actual movement.
Use the live display to compare options: whether a vehicle appears in the required direction, whether a current notice applies and whether there is enough time to transfer. Do not rely on it alone for a time-critical journey.
Route with a transfer
For a transfer, first identify where the two routes meet. Then check each route and its latest notices separately. Stops on opposite sides of a street or on adjacent platforms may share a name and require a crossing.
Allow time to find the correct boarding point as well as time to wait. If one leg is already affected by a restriction, keep an alternative route rather than depending only on the next vehicle with the same number.
Reference limits
The operator’s general route information does not guarantee a low-floor vehicle, an accessible stop, a particular cabin temperature or available space. A notice about one vehicle also does not describe the whole fleet. Confirm any essential boarding requirement for the specific journey.
Telephone numbers, operator statistics and app marketing claims are not part of stable route guidance. Concentrate on the current route, timetable and latest service notice. The D-transport guide explains how to plan a journey with transfers, while low-floor electric transport covers accessibility checks.
FAQ
Is it possible to plan a trip using a route number from memory?
No. First choose tram or trolleybus, then identify the route by its direction and endpoints. A familiar number without that context does not establish the current path.
Is it possible to repeat the same path in the reverse direction?
Do not assume so. Streets and boarding points can differ in the reverse direction. Read the current route description and identify the required stop before setting out.
What takes priority — the timetable or a service notice?
The timetable describes planned service, while notices cover temporary changes. A dated notice about reduced service, a diversion or early closure overrides the regular pattern while it applies.
How accurate is the vehicle location shown on the map?
It helps assess the situation but does not guarantee arrival to the minute. Network latency, congestion, technical pauses and route changes can all make a map marker stale. Keep another source or option for a time-critical journey.
Does the same stop name mean the same boarding point?
No. Stops on opposite sides of a street or on adjacent platforms may share a name. Include the walk to the correct platform when calculating transfer time.
Does the route information guarantee a low-floor vehicle?
No. General route information cannot promise a low-floor vehicle, an accessible stop or available space on one departure. A report about a single vehicle cannot establish fleet-wide conditions. Confirm any essential boarding requirement separately.
Before you go
Immediately before leaving, check the page for your route and the latest service notices. Treat a live vehicle position as supporting information rather than a guaranteed arrival time.
