Except for rush hours on weekdays.

In Zhytomyr, from May 11, passengers have been allowed to travel on public transport without special passes, but temporary restrictions have been introduced. The decision was made by the executive committee of the Zhytomyr City Council, reports Zhitomir.info.

The exemption from special passes will not apply to the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays, in order to prevent crowding on public transport.

"That is, a document confirming that a passenger may travel is not required from 10:00 to 16:00 on weekdays, and on weekends public transport will carry passengers without documents," — explained Deputy Mayor of Zhytomyr Oleksandr Shevchuk.

Restrictions on the number of passengers inside the vehicle remain — there cannot be more of them than seats.

The nationwide quarantine has been extended until May 22 with some easing measures, which will take effect from May 11.
