Rail Ticket Prices to Poland and Hungary Set to Rise in 2025

Starting February 1, 2025, ticket prices for trains to Poland and Hungary will increase as discounts are reduced.

This was announced by "Ukrzaliznytsia".

Prices for trains to Austria and Moldova will remain unchanged.

The reason for the price hike is significant losses from passenger transport (18 billion UAH last year) due to rising costs of materials and energy resources.

"Previously, to promote its international routes, Ukrzaliznytsia agreed on special discounts with neighboring countries' railways. Now the company is forced to gradually review these discounts," the company stated.

Tickets to Poland will increase by 9-27% in sleeper cars and by 20-27% in Intercity+ and SV.

On the most popular route Kyiv-Warsaw, the increase will be 37%, while on the Kyiv-Budapest route, it will be 17% in SV and 21% in sleeper cars.

Until January 31, 2025, tickets for February can still be purchased at the old prices.

Reminder:

"Ukrzaliznytsia" is launching a full meal service on selected trains in a pilot mode.
