CroatiaA video showing a ZET bus on Zagreb's Trnovo street stopped due to a technical malfunction in the articulated joint spread across social media, causing concern among users who believed the bus had split in half. The incident occurred on route 109 between Črnomerec and Dugave, where the bus halted in the right lane heading towards the city center after the joint took an unusual position. On Reddit, users debated whether the driver or ZET was responsible, with some criticizing the condition of ZET’s fleet and service quality, while others called out Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomašević. ZET denied claims that the bus had split, stating it was a mechanical failure in the joint mechanism. According to ZET’s Public Relations officer Domagoj Zeba, the bus was briefly stopped on the road before being towed to a workshop, and a replacement bus was deployed to restore traffic quickly. He emphasized that passenger safety was never compromised during the incident.
