Zagreb’s buses and trams are back: what to check before your next shift

ZET says scheduled services resume on October 1. The return is welcome for commuters, but roadworks and separate night arrangements still affect some journeys.

A familiar tram arriving again can make the working day easier to plan. ZET’s September 30 notice says vehicles were returning to all lines that evening, with scheduled services restored from the first departures on October 1. The funicular and cable car were also expected to run normally. ^[1]

For the next commute, the useful check is the whole journey: where to board, where to change, and how to get home after work. Regular service across the network can coexist with a temporary diversion on your own line. In particular, the separate night-tram replacement notice still deserves a look if your shift ends late.

Tickets can be bought through the official Moj ZET app. Its instructions describe activating a single ticket with the vehicle’s QR code or compatible NFC. If you use a monthly or annual pass, read the account-linking instructions before changing how you use your personalised card. ^[2]

Keep the route notice and your line number handy rather than relying on a screenshot passed around without its date. For readers travelling through Podsused or on line 227, our separate route reports explain the temporary stops. This is an October 1 service update; later changes belong to ZET’s operating notices.
