Ticket prices to Poland will increase:
- in first-class Intercity+ and SV cars – by 20-27%;
- in coupe cars – by 9-27%.
The cost of tickets for the Kyiv–Warsaw train will rise by 37%, while the Kyiv–Budapest route will see an increase of 17% for SV cars and 21% for coupe cars.
Tickets can be purchased at the old prices until January 31, 2025, inclusive, via the official UZ website and mobile app.
Recall that since December, UZ increased Wi-Fi limits on Intercity trains. The head of UZ announced last year the introduction of Wi-Fi on long-distance night trains.
