Tram terminus in Plac Narutowicza
The tram stop complex at Narutowicza Square was established as early as 1921, when a new track along Grojecka Street to the new Opaczewska end was opened. Trams of line 7 were the first to stop here. The Narutowicza Square tram stop was opened on 27 December 1925, when line 25 was diverted here and began running from Filtrowa Street.
In 1939, 8 tram lines had their stop, of which six lines had a terminus here: 8, 10 (night), 17, 25, 27 and A. Relatively little damage to the infrastructure allowed the tracks to be opened as early as 15 September, and the terminus for line 7 as early as 12 October 1945. In their history, lines had their terminus here, among others: 5, 7, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 25, 31, 32, 43, 44 and 46. Nowadays, the terminus is also used by the tourist T line, which usually runs in summer.
On 19 September 2009, line 21, which was the last line to regularly terminate here, was decommissioned, and since then the terminus has mainly served as an emergency loop (most often for line 77, which runs mainly during PGE Narodowe events or renovations), or as a terminus for the shortened courses of some lines (including 1 and 9). From 1 September 2017, the extremity returned to regular line service, due to the shortening here of line 11, which, as a result of the exclusion of tram traffic along Prosta and Kasprzaka streets for the duration of the extension of the second metro line in Wola, was diverted here after the suspension of the Daszyńskiego Roundabout extremity. On 18 May 2019, line 28 was diverted to the loop in place of line 11.
Nowadays, the Ochota district would like to decommission the loop on the occasion of the revitalisation of Narutowicz Square, which is supported by the Public Transport Authority, but the decommissioning is opposed by the residents and also by the Public Transport Enthusiasts Club. A more likely solution is therefore to significantly reduce the loop to a single station, located on Akademicka Street. In the future, a station of the third metro line is to be built at Narutowicza Square.
