This measure was introduced by the city administration amid ongoing restrictions in the operation of the capital's metro system, aiming to provide stable logistics for passengers and relieve pressure on transport hubs between the right and left banks. ### Reasons for Launch and Route Details The decision to organize additional trains was made by the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) due to infrastructural limitations of the underground. According to official agencies, Kyiv City Express is deploying extra rolling stock on the semi-ring section connecting key transport arteries of the city. Trains operate according to a schedule covering sections between Pochaina and Vydubychi stations. For the convenience of residents, electric trains make stops at all intermediate stations along the route. The list includes stops such as Raduzhnyi, Voskresenka, Troieshchyna-2, and Troieshchyna, the International Exhibition Center area, Livoberezhna, Rusanivka, Darnytsia, and Berezniaky. This allows passengers to plan convenient transfers to other types of public transport. ### Integration with Ground Transport and Ticket Purchasing City authorities remind residents that ground public transport operates near every Kyiv City Express station. Passengers can use buses, trolleybuses, and trams to continue their journeys and quickly reach desired districts of the capital. This approach minimizes inconvenience during travel under the altered metro schedule. Tickets for the city train can be purchased quickly and without queues in electronic format. The national carrier Ukrzaliznytsia offers purchasing travel documents through its branded mobile application in just a few clicks. The current train schedule is also available on the official project website. ### Significance of Additional Services for the Capital's Transport System The introduction of additional city train services plays a critically important role in maintaining Kyiv's transport mobility under current metro restrictions. The coordinated work of railway transport and integration with bus routes help keep passenger traffic at a stable level and prevent road congestion. Such measures demonstrate the flexibility of the capital's transport infrastructure in responding to emergency situations and citizens' needs. ## Accounts differ ### Route of additional city train services - **KCSA / RBC-Ukraine:** Trains run on the semi-ring section between Pochaina and Vydubychi stations with stops at all intermediate stations.
