Overview
- Uklon, which launched the Travel beta Wednesday, now sells domestic and international bus tickets inside its mobile app.
- The new Travel tab sits on the app’s main screen and lets riders pick a departure city, destination, and date to see available bus carriers and buy tickets without a third‑party site.
- Uklon said it introduced bus ticketing because air travel is unavailable and rail capacity is under strain, creating demand for flexible intercity and cross‑border options.
- The move advances Kyivstar and VEON’s strategy to grow Uklon from ride‑hailing into a broader mobility service that can capture more of each user’s transportation spending.
- Company disclosures cite 3.8 million monthly active users, operations in 27 Ukrainian cities and Tashkent, and an annualized revenue run‑rate above $100 million, with prior seasonal routes like the Ski Bus to Bukovel showing user demand for longer trips.
