Ukraine Transportation

Transportation in Ukraine includes trains, cars, buses and marshrutka.

The quickest and the best way to get around the cities of Ukraine is to use marshrutka - the minibuses. The fares are fixed just like buses, trolley-buses, trams, and the Metros. Each city has its own inter-city bus station from where you will find buses with varied destinations in Ukraine. Charges and quality of service may vary extensively.

By train
Traveling via trains in Ukraine is really inexpensive. It is advised that being an outsider you should avoid traveling in compartments without doors. Always try to board a first class cabin as they make for a very good deal.
Every railway wagon is taken care of by the "provodnik", the conductor. The provodnik makes sure that your journey is as comfortable as it gets.

By car
Cars and taxis constitute a vital part of Ukraine transportation. The sign boards are all in Ukrainian i.e. Cyrillic alphabets. Very few sign boards are written in the Latin alphabet, and these would generally indicate the main cities. You are strongly advised to value the signs on the boards and strictly maintain the speed limits.

By Bus
In Ukraine there are two foremost bus companies- namely Avtolux, and Gunsel, that run buses from all of the main cities to and from Kiev- the capital city. The buses are a standard coach bus that also provides cold drinks, tea and snacks.
