Kyiv Proposes 30 Hryvnia Transit Fare With New Passes and Discounts

Public feedback runs to June 1 pending regulatory and union sign-off before a planned July 15 rollout.

Overview

  • Kyiv’s city administration published a draft fare schedule that sets a single ride at 30 UAH and opened a public consultation that ends June 1.
  • The plan uses tiered pricing on transport cards, with per-ride costs dropping from 30 UAH for 1–9 trips to 25 UAH at 50 trips.
  • Monthly passes would lower the effective ride price to about 23.3–23.6 UAH, and an unlimited monthly pass across metro and surface lines would cost 4,875 UAH.
  • A 90‑minute transfer ticket priced at 60 UAH would allow unlimited switches between metro and surface transport, and visitor passes of 24, 48, and 72 hours would cost 375, 563, and 750 UAH.
  • City officials say costs have surged since the last fare change in 2018, with ‘economically justified’ 2026 fares calculated at 64.60 UAH for the metro and 44.14 UAH for surface routes, while a new petition urges delaying any hike until martial law ends.
