All public transport uses a single electronic ticket. This means that you don't need to look for different coupons or tokens for buses, trolleybuses, trams and the metro.

It is enough to buy a Kyiv Digital transport card or a QR ticket.

1. What is a one-time QR ticket?

QR tickets have replaced piles of tokens and individual travel tickets. They are valid for 15 days and are designed for those who use transport infrequently.

A one-time QR ticket can be used in printed form or from a smartphone screen.

2. Where can I buy it?

QR tickets can be purchased in the:

Kyiv Digital app
Kyiv Digital terminals
metro ticket offices
self-service boxes and the EasyPay portal.

All points of sale can be found on this map.

3. How to use it?

To use a QR ticket, you will need a validator - a reader that is available at turnstiles in the subway and in every public transport cabin:

The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine checks persons crossing the state border on the basis of valid documents for the right to enter or leave the territory of Ukraine. The passage of vehicles, cargo, goods and other property across the border is carried out in accordance with the current legislation and international treaties of Ukraine.

Here is a link to a video tutorial on how to scan a QR ticket correctly.

Only payment confirmation on the validator is proof for the controller that the ticket has been used. The ticket will be automatically deleted 2 hours after use, and the record of use will be saved in the update feed.

4. How do I show it to the controller?

To provide the QR ticket for verification to the controller:

Open the screen with the used QR ticket.
Present the QR ticket to the controller for scanning.

The controller will scan the ticket with the reader to verify the fare payment.

Air travel

Kyiv has two international airports. The first is Boryspil Airport, which is the largest in Ukraine and has transcontinental status. More than 40 national and foreign airlines operate passenger and cargo services from Boryspil on more than 70 scheduled routes around the world. The airport serves over 15 million passengers annually. It has four terminals, although only two of them are actively used - terminals D and F.

Despite the fact that the airport is located 29 km from Kyiv, it can be reached quickly and conveniently by public transport.

You can use the SkyBus bus, which runs between the South Railway Station and the terminals. The bus runs around the clock with a regularity of 15 minutes during the day and 45 minutes at night. Tickets cost 50 UAH, which is less than $2, and can be purchased online, at the ticket office at the station, or from the driver. You can also get to the airport by a special train, the Kyiv Boryspil Express, which can be taken at either the Central or Darnytskyi railway stations. The journey by train or bus will take 40-50 minutes.

Kyiv Sikorsky Airport is the second largest international passenger airport in Ukraine. It is located only 8 km from the city centre, so you can get there by bus, minibus or trolleybus. One of them also runs at night.

Railway connections

Kyiv has three railway stations - Central, Southern and Suburban. All of them are located next to each other and serve domestic and international trains. The railway network in Ukraine is very extensive, so you can get to almost any city in the country by train. All trains have different classes of comfort - SV, compartment and reserved seats. The largest cities of the country can be reached from the capital by first or second class express trains.

Train tickets can be bought on the website of Ukrzaliznytsia, which is available in three languages, including English. You can also buy a ticket for any destination within the country at any ticket office in the country. Tickets for international flights can only be purchased at international ticket offices. If you are late for the train and do not have a ticket, you can go to an express ticket office, which sells tickets even 15 minutes before the train departure. If you have already bought a ticket, but your travel plans have changed, you can return the ticket and get a refund.

The best places for walking include the Park of Glory, Mariinsky Park, Trukhaniv Island, Volodymyrska Hill and the Grishko Botanical Garden.

Kyiv city centre can be reached from Boryspil Airport by the Kyiv Boryspil Express train, SkyBus bus, taxi or car sharing services.
