Kyiv Public Transport Announces New Plan for Air Alert Shelters

So, in the event of an air alert, passengers will be able to either get off at a bus stop or drive to the nearest shelters. These can be metro stations, underground passages, parking lots, etc. The CMVA adds that these rules apply to both municipal land transport and private minibuses.

For a complete list of shelters, see link.

At the same time, in public transport, you do not have to pay twice for the fare. Passengers after lights out will be able to travel on the same route for already paid travel cards. Tickets will be valid for one hour.

Note that the fare in trams and trolleybuses in Kyiv is 8 UAH.

As reported, ground public transport in Kyiv in the event of an air alert will take passengers to the nearest shelter. This decision will take effect May 22.

Recall that earlier transport in Kyiv stopped during alarms, but private carriers ignored this requirement. It got to the point that the police reported that they would stop violating drivers who violate the requirement to stop during an air danger. In turn, the Kyiv authorities did not support the petition, which asked that the transport follow the specified route, despite the air threat.
