Two Imperio trams collided this morning on Calea 13 Septembrie in Bucharest, blocking traffic for several public transport lines in the area.

The Bucharest Transport Company announced that tram lines 1, 10, 11, 25 and 47 are not operating at the intersection of Calea Progresului and Calea 13 Septembrie. STB described the incident as a “traffic event.” So far, no official information has been released regarding possible casualties or the cause of the collision.

Following the impact, buses on routes 122, 226 and 385 are also operating on diverted routes. Passengers are advised to take the temporary changes into account and check STB announcements regarding the resumption of service.

Emergency crews and representatives of the transport operator are working to manage the situation and clear the area. Tram services will resume after the inspections are completed and the damaged vehicles are removed. The story is being updated.

Context: Before the collision involving Imperio trams, the Capital had recently experienced several disruptions to public transport

A few days earlier, Bucharest City Hall began modernization works at the intersection of Calea Rahovei – Șoseaua Progresul, involving road resurfacing and temporary changes to several tram lines. During the intervention, modified routes were operated, including shuttle lines (610 and 632), and line 47 was suspended, while public transport was expected to return to normal after the works were completed.

Also recently, trams 25 and 41 were stopped on sections in western and southwestern Bucharest due to a power outage in the public transport power supply network. STB introduced shuttle lines (625 and 641) to transport passengers, while the exact cause was not immediately specified by the operator.
