While not as vast as metro systems in other capital cities like Paris or London, the Kyiv metro is fast and efficient if you want to get anywhere that is serviced by the three lines. It’s cheap at only 8 UAH and trains run every 2 minutes at peak periods slowing down to 5 or 6 minutes at off-peak times. Once you have reached your final station, take a bus, tram or marshrutka to your final destination.
You can identify a metro station by the big green M above entrances. There are two sets of doors at each station, one for entering and one for exiting which are often in English and in red for no entry and green for “please come in”.
There are a few options for buying tickets:
There are currently 3 metro lines in the city with another under construction:
All these lines intercept in a triangle in the centre of the city between 6 transfer stations. Because all transfers are focussed at only a few stations in the same area it can get very busy in the rush hour. There is one line under construction to relieve some of this congestion and choke points, but it’s likely to be a long time before we see it finished and open.
