Fare prices in Kyiv to rise to 30 UAH: when will the new rates take effect?

Kyiv plans to raise public transportation fares to 30 hryvnias per ride.

This was reported by the Kyiv City State Administration.

The new fares may be introduced on July 15, 2026, following the completion of regulatory procedures and consultations with the public and labor unions.

For passengers who regularly use public transport, a discount system has been introduced based on the number of trips purchased on a transit card. The cost of a single trip will range from 25 to 30 hryvnias: 30 hryvnias for 1–9 trips, and 25 hryvnias per trip when purchasing 50 trips.

There are also plans to introduce a transfer ticket for 60 hryvnias, which will allow unlimited transfers between the metro and surface transit within 90 minutes.

For holders of monthly passes, a single trip will cost approximately 23.3–23.6 hryvnias.

Discounts for schoolchildren and students will remain in place: schoolchildren will continue to ride for free during the school year and will receive a 75% discount in the summer. Students will receive a 50% discount on monthly passes.

The Kyiv City State Administration explained that fares have not been revised since 2018, while costs for electricity, fuel, salaries, and infrastructure maintenance have risen significantly.
