TRANSPORTATION

Ukraine has a very well-developed

system of public transportation. Every large

city and regional capital is connected to

the railway network and receives

passenger trains daily from other major

cities. The train station is the main

transportation hub of every Ukrainian city.

From there minibuses, trolleybuses, and

private taxis take passengers to other parts

of the city.

The other main transportation hub of any

Ukrainian town is the intercity bus station. Often,

but not always, the bus station is located next to

the train station. The largest cities generally

have several bus stations located at different

ends of town. Intercity buses leave from the

station that is in the direction of their destination.

Most Ukrainian regional capitals also have an

airport on the edge of town for domestic flights

and, occasionally, a small selection of

international flights. Ukraine has recently got its

first low-cost connections. Inter-city travel in

Ukraine is quite a bit less expensive than in

Europe, but prices have been rising steadily in

recent years.

Every Ukrainian town and city has a complex network of public transportationdominated by minibuses, followed by trolleybuses, street trams, buses, andsubway systems (only in the largest Ukrainian cities). These means are sufficientto get you where you need to go in town — after you learn how to use them.

Fare on public transportation is very low by European standards, usuallycosting 4 UAH or less.

In addition to public transportation, taxis are available everywhere.
