ZET is making some big changes, here are the lines that will run differently.

ZET has announced changes to bus routes due to processions in Remete and Stenjevci, affecting several lines in the region. The adjustments come ahead of the feast day of the Assumption of Mary, celebrated in these northern Croatian areas with traditional pilgrimages. The modifications will take effect on Saturday, altering the usual schedules and routes for multiple bus services. The bus route 203, which normally runs between Svetice, Vinec, and Kaptol, will operate shortened until Vinec between 8 AM and 9 PM. Additionally, route 119 will follow its standard path up to the intersection of Ilica and Vrapčanska streets before continuing along Ilica and Aleja in Bolonja city, then via Samobor Road to its destination. This altered section will include all intermediate stops. Route 146 will run shortened to a circular junction connecting Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić Street and Stenjevci Street. A stop will be established after this circular junction on Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić Street heading towards Reljkovićeva Street. Further adjustments involve routes heading toward Zaprešić and Bistrica. Routes 172 (Črnomerec, Zaprešić), 176 (Črnomerec, Gornja Bistra), and 177 (Črnomerec, Poljanica, Gornja Bistra) will make additional stops at Gospodska in both directions. These changes aim to accommodate increased passenger traffic expected during the religious observance. According to the announcement, if road conditions warrant, routes 119 and 146 might operate partially adjusted routes in the afternoon hours on Sunday as well, depending on local circumstances. On the feast day of the Assumption of Mary, ZET stated that the weekend schedule will apply to both tram and bus services, including the cable car system. This means reduced frequency and potential route alterations similar to those observed on Saturdays. Processions, known locally as proštenja, are traditional pilgrimages held in western Croatia to honor local saints who are considered protectors of villages and towns. These events typically draw large crowds and require temporary adjustments to public transportation networks to manage the influx of participants and visitors. The changes to the bus routes reflect the need to adapt urban transport systems to accommodate religious gatherings while ensuring safety and efficiency for all users. Such adjustments are common during major religious festivals throughout the country, particularly in regions where such traditions remain deeply rooted in community life. Transport authorities have emphasized that these modifications are necessary to ensure smooth operations during high-traffic periods. They also noted that further updates could be issued based on real-time conditions and feedback from the field. Residents and commuters are advised to check the latest information through official channels or online platforms to stay informed about any last-minute changes to their usual travel plans. The implementation of the weekend schedule underscores the importance of flexibility in public transport planning during special occasions.
