Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ) will start equipping long-distance night trains with Wi-Fi in 2025, according to Oleksandr Pertsovsky, chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia.
“We will start adding the Internet to night trains gradually. We will work on this in 2025,” Pertsovsky said at a meeting with journalists on Thursday.
He did not specify when exactly the installation of Wi-Fi equipment in long-distance trains would begin, noting that it would happen “during 2025.”
Earlier, UZ announced the launch of free Wi-Fi in ten Intercity and Intercity+ trains.
Internet access systems have already been installed on 10 Hyundai trains, two Skoda trains, two Tarpan trains, and two trains with MPLT cars. Wi-Fi access remains free for passengers during the trial period. Travelers can use 1 GB of traffic at a speed of 10 Mbps by logging in to the on-board portal portal.uz.com.ua.
In July, in response to a request from Interfax-Ukraine, UZ announced that it had installed the necessary equipment to provide Wi-Fi access on 75% of high-speed trains.
