Warsaw metro disruption — what to do before reaching the station

A short message about service disruption can mean a delayed departure, one closed station, shuttle running or a suspended section. Before changing plans, check the line, boundary stations, direction and latest update time.

The key question is whether the incident lies on the section you actually use. MetroRadar combines labelled official announcements and community reports, so always note the source and timestamp.

• Confirm M1 or M2 instead of assuming the whole network is affected.
• Check whether one station or a longer section is involved.
• Remember that restored service can still run irregularly for a while.

The final operating station is often the most crowded. An earlier interchange with several tram, bus or rail options may be faster and more predictable.

Compare the entire alternative, including walking time, service frequency and the next connection — not just the metro section.

Save the route and stations you use most and enable alerts only for relevant lines. Learn one simple backup: a parallel tram, a bus to another metro station or a nearby rail connection.

The goal is not to memorise timetables but to know which direction to take when the normal route stops working.
