Starting December 15, Ukrzaliznytsia JSC (UZ) will launch a daily direct train between Kyiv and Budapest.
“Starting December 15, we will launch a daily direct train Kyiv – Budapest. Train No. 9/10 on this route will be another – already the 20th – international train of Ukrzaliznytsia,” the UZ press service said on Telegram on Thursday.
The train will run in standard sleeping cars: compartment (4 seats) and suite (2 seats).
“A lot of diplomatic work preceded the appointment of this flight, so that wide cars in the amount of at least eight per flight could deliver Ukrainians from/to the Hungarian capital. It is here that the Ferenc Liszt Airport is located, the largest airport in the region, many of whose flights are now synchronized with the Ukrainian train,” the press service quoted Oleksandr Pertsovsky, Chairman of the Board of UZ, as saying.
The train will depart from Kyiv at 10:16 and arrive in Budapest at 06:00. In the opposite direction: departure from Budapest at 22:40, arrival in Kyiv at 19:11. The cost of a ticket in a compartment carriage is approximately UAH 3 thousand.
