Beginning February 1, 2025, ticket prices for trains to Poland and Hungary will rise due to a reduction in discounts.
This announcement was made by "Ukrzaliznytsia".
Prices for trains to Austria and Moldova will remain unchanged.
The reason for the increase is significant losses from passenger transport (18 billion UAH last year) due to rising costs of materials and energy resources.
"Previously, to promote its international services, Ukrzaliznytsia offered special discounts in cooperation with neighboring countries' railways. However, the company is now forced to gradually review these discounts," the company stated.
Ticket prices to Poland will increase by 9-27% in sleeper cars and by 20-27% in Intercity+ and SV trains.
On the most popular route from Kyiv to Warsaw, the increase will be 37%, while on the Kyiv-Budapest route it will be 17% in SV and 21% in sleeper cars.
Tickets for February can still be purchased at old prices until January 31, 2025.
Reminder:
"Ukrzaliznytsia" is testing a full meal service on selected trains.
