Ukrzaliznytsia has updated the rules for purchasing some train tickets: how to get them now

Ukrzaliznytsia has expanded opportunities for Ukrainian military personnel. Now they will not need to go to a railway ticket office to buy train tickets from a special reserve – they will be able to do so directly from their smartphones.

The company has announced that it has joined the Plus military support service. This will allow users of the Army+ app to purchase four tickets at a time from the special reserve for trains traveling from or to cities close to the war zone.

Such tickets are available from 5 days to 6 hours before the train departs from the initial station when tickets for regular seats expire. However, they are not stored in the UZ office, so you must send them to your own email or take a screenshot after purchasing them.

You can also choose any of the available seats for the desired flight in the app. At the same time, the ticket booking service for the military will also continue to operate.

"The launch of the program is one of the systematic steps to make life easier for the members of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and to show respect for those who give everything to keep the country alive," Ukrzaliznytsia said.

Earlier it was reported that more than 500 travel documents are allocated to the special reserve daily. Pre-booking of tickets for servicemen and their families is carried out mainly for seats in compartment cars, but if necessary and technically possible, seats in reserved seats and in 1st class cars of Intercity+ trains are also added. But, according to the military, there are still not enough tickets allocated for reservations.

OBOZ.UA also reported that Ukrzaliznytsia has assigned non-stop cars on the Chernihiv-Rakhiv route. They will be attached to trains from Chernihiv to Ivano-Frankivsk and from Sumy to Rakhiv. Tickets for a car from Chernihiv to Rakhiv for the December 27 departure cost 512.55 UAH.
