Travel in public ground transport and metro Kyiv has risen. From July 15-time to get to the subway, bus, trolley, gorelektrichke, the funicular, the tram costs one hryvnia more expensive.
Prices will rise, and travel (see infographic). For example, a monthly pass on metro will cost UAH 380, and four types of transport (bus, tram, trolleybus, metro) — up to 710 UAH!

DISCUSSED. 16 days to the draft Executive order on increase of tariffs was discussed with the public on the website of the KSCA, where citizens could Express their “pros” and “cons”.
“I propose to leave the fare unchanged! The current cost of tickets compared with the existing level of service,” wrote a resident of Kiev Yuri Vasilyuk. “We need to raise the subway fare to 8 hryvnia, and in any other vehicle up to 6 hryvnia, to have been economically justified tariff, and the utilities become more profitable”, — said Ruslan Goloborodko.
HOW TO SAVE MONEY. After the price increase, passengers will still be able to save money on travel. Ride the subway at UAH 3.50 will be some time, adding up to July 15, contactless plastic cards for 50 and 100 trips. This is especially profitable for those who rarely use the subway.
Will remain valid monthly pass, purchased before the price increase. But the tokens after July 15, again will change its color and become blue. “Before August 1 shall make and blue and green tokens. Then in certain offices you can exchange the tokens — the old to the new”, — told the “Today” in the subway. However, buy before July 15 tokens for 4 UAH will be difficult, as the box office they sell only 2 pieces in one hand.
Until the end of July will be able to ride for 3 hryvnia and ground transportation, and 4 UAH in the train those passengers who reserved tickets before the price increases. Unlike tokens, coupons can be purchased in unlimited quantities. “While the design of tickets will not change. Will only change the digit value on the travel voucher: instead of 3 — UAH 4 and is 4 — 5 UAH. Since August, the old tickets can be exchanged for a new one, paying the difference” — told us in “Kyivpastrans”.
