Additional services are also planned for Friday 30 October and Monday 2 November. On those days, special tram lines 83 and 84, among others, are to run. Zarząd Transportu Publicznego (ZTP, the Public Transport Authority) has made available an interactive map showing the routes of the special lines, which can be used to check routes before setting out.

Traffic changes around cemeteries
From 30 October to 1 November, temporary changes to traffic organisation will be in force around the largest cemeteries. They may be most noticeable around Rakowicki Cemetery.
Rakowicka Street will be completely closed to cars on the section from the car park at the University of Economics to Grochowska Street. Only trams will be able to travel along this section. It will not be possible to turn into Rakowicka Street from Olszańska Street, and a parking ban will be in force on Olszańska Street.
Around the cemeteries, expect increased road checks and parking restrictions. Transport authorities point to public transport as the most convenient way to reach the cemeteries.
Note: Before heading to a cemetery, it is worth checking the current routes of the special lines on the ZTP interactive map. If travelling by car, be prepared for possible delays and restrictions on traffic and parking.
