Ticket Prices and Purchase Methods
Tickets for the new train are now on sale. For the June 21 service, the price for a seat in first class is 716.72 hryvnias. For the June 22 service, the price for a first-class ticket is significantly higher at 11,785.39 hryvnias. Tickets can be purchased through the Ukrzaliznytsia app, on the carrier’s official website, and at train station ticket offices.
Temporary trains are launched during periods of increased passenger flow when regular services cannot fully meet travelers’ needs. This usually occurs during holidays, vacations, or mass leave periods.
