The train from Kyiv to Warsaw will see the largest price increase
Starting from February 1, discounts on international trains to Poland and Hungary will be reduced, reports the transportation company.
Meanwhile, the discount rates for trains to Austria and Moldova will remain unchanged. Previously, to promote its international routes, "Ukrzaliznytsia" agreed on special discounts with the railways of neighboring countries. Today, the company is compelled to gradually reassess the size of these discounts, as the rising costs of materials and energy resources have significantly increased losses from passenger transport, which reached 18 billion hryvnias last year. Thus, for the route to Poland, ticket prices will rise due to the reduction in discounts: in first-class Intercity+ and SV cars – by 20-27 percent; in compartment cars – by 9-27 percent.
As a result of the reduced discount, the price of travel on the most popular international trains will increase: Kyiv – Warsaw – by 37 percent; Kyiv – Budapest – by 17 percent in SV cars and by 21 percent in compartment cars. Until January 31, 2025, ticket purchases in the app and on the official "Ukrzaliznytsia" website for these routes in February will occur at current prices.
