Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about a long breakdown of a tram. You cannot allow passengers to leave the tram if this could obstruct traffic or put them in danger - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act forbids opening the door of a vehicle and getting out without making sure that this will not endanger traffic safety or obstruct traffic. The tram driver is responsible for the safety of the passengers, so the driver does not let them out onto a roadway with cars driving on it, or onto tram tracks where other trams may come. During a long breakdown, you inform the traffic control centre (nadzór ruchu), give information to the passengers and open the doors only in a safe place or when the traffic around the tram has been secured, for example by the Police or the company's services.
Legal basis: Art. 45 para. 1 point 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
