Panoramic view of Kontraktova Pl. Pullmans are still servicing Pusca-Vodycia direction, while МТВ-82 are servicing Peczersk. Route # 28 as well as its prewar predecessor are departing from Posztova Pl. and will come here in couple of years.

The construction of second track linking Vul. Sahajdacznoho with Posztova Pl. not only improved the service allowing passengers for better interchange at Kontraktova Pl. but also gave the possibility to introduce КТМ/КТП-1 trams from Darnycke Depot.

ЛМ-57 arrived to Lenin (nowadays Lukjanivske) Depot as a gift from Leningrad and during January 1958 was on test run on route 28. Unfortunately, pictures of this car on route 28 are unavailable, but there are plenty of pictures on route 5 (including this one on Pl. Stalina). This route was serviced by ЛМ-57 only and was closed when this car was withdrawn.
