Kyiv's Public Transport Challenges During Air Raids Leave Residents Stranded

Kyiv residents and visitors face significant challenges with public transport during air raid alerts, particularly late at night, according to a recent video circulating online. The video highlights how the cessation of metro services and the closure of bridges during alerts, often coinciding with the last train's departure around 10:30 PM, leave many stranded. The speaker in the video explains that municipal buses, which could offer an alternative, also finish their routes by this time, making cross-city travel impossible. This forces individuals to rely on taxis, which can cost upwards of 700 UAH during an alert, or risk being caught outside during the commandant's hour. The issue disproportionately affects those with limited financial resources, young people, and individuals with reduced mobility, who may find themselves with no viable option to reach home. While acknowledging efforts to provide communal transport, critics argue that the current system fails to account for the realities of late-night travel during alerts, leading to stress and difficult situations for many.
