There were 12 bus stop complexes there. There is no classic loop at the end, so the route is only served by two-way vehicles of the Korean brand Hyundai Rotem.

During the opening of the new tram route, the mayor of Warsaw met with journalists. He praised that the tram would allow residents to get to the center faster.
