Uber has launched Uber Shuttle routes from Vyshneve and Bucha to Kyiv, the company’s press service has reported.
The routes from Vyshneve to Zhytomyrska metro station and vice versa, as well as from Bucha to Akademmistechko metro station and vice versa are available from 07:00 to 21:00 on weekdays.
“Each shuttle ride will have a fixed cost depending on the distance in kilometers: approximately UAH 25 from Vyshneve to Zhytomyrska and UAH 30 on the route from Bucha to Akademmistechko.
“By analyzing the data of Uber Movement, a service that helps solve transport problems, over the past few months we have seen that the suburbs of the Ukrainian capital continue to actively develop, and that the number of people who travel to Kyiv from there is constantly growing. That’s why we decided to expand our network of Uber Shuttle routes to Vyshneve and Bucha,” head of Uber development in Central and Eastern Europe Heorhiy Sokoliansky said.
Uber also launched a new application for Android users, especially for the Uber Shuttle service in Kyiv. This application allows users to view the available shuttle routes, select the desired landing time and reserve a seat for one or more people. The Uber Shuttle application’s users can also go to Google Maps, where a route will be shown to the stop at which the shuttle arrives.
