Are tram drivers subject to the same permissible blood alcohol content level as other drivers?

The question is about alcohol limits. Tram drivers are subject to the same permissible blood alcohol limit as other drivers - the answer is YES.

The Road Traffic Act forbids a person from driving a vehicle when intoxicated, after drinking alcohol or after taking a substance that acts similarly to alcohol - regardless of the type of vehicle. A tram is a vehicle, so the same limits apply to the tram driver as to other drivers: the state after drinking alcohol is from 0.2 to 0.5 per mille, and above 0.5 per mille it is intoxication. Driving while intoxicated is a crime. Public transport companies also check that tram drivers are sober before they start work.

Legal basis: Art. 45 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); Art. 178a § 1 of the Criminal Code
