The fare in trolleybuses is formed under the influence of economic conditions that affect the sphere of transport. For example, inflation in 2025 Forces cities to view prices by adding 1-2 hryvnias every year to compensate for the increase in power supply for auxiliary systems. In Kharkiv, where the trolleybus network is branched as the roots of a living oak, the cost can reach 11 hryvnias through local taxes on public transport.

Another important factor is state subsidies that maintain level prices like rescue cells in a storm economic sea. Without such subsidies, travel could double, making trolleybuses less attractive than minibuses.

Types of tickets and payment methods A one -time ticket is like a quick breath of coffee early in the morning, simple and without additional liabilities, with a price from 8 to 12 hryvnias, depending on the city. In 2025, Kiev offers it for 12 UAH, allowing passengers to pay cash or through mobile programs. This option is ideal for spontaneous trips when you want to just get from item A to point B without prior planning.

Instead, travel for a month make a trolleybus your integral companion in everyday life, costing from 300 to 500 hryvnias. In Lviv, for example, a monthly subscription for UAH 400 provides unlimited access, allowing you to save money for those who use transport daily. These tickets are often combined with subway or trams, forming a single network, like a huge web of movement.

Electronic cards, like “Kiev digital” or Dnieper in the Dnieper, or “Leocart” in Lviv, provide convenience, allowing you to replenish the balance online and make contactless payments. In 2025, such systems cover more than 70% of payments. And for students and pensioners there are preferential options where travel can be free or with a 50% discount that emphasizes the social function of transport.

Practical recommendations for passengers To reduce travel costs, choose travel if you travel frequently – it’s an investment in comfort. In 2025, mobile programs allow you to monitor the balance and avoid fines, which makes the process unobstructed. For tourists in the Dnieper, you should buy day tickets for 30 UAH, including unlimited trips.

Here are some tips for effective payment:

• Download the city’s mobile app and register a card.
• Check your benefits: If you are a student, do not forget to take a 50% discount, reducing the cost from 10 UAH to 5.
• Plan the route in advance through online cards, avoiding unnecessary transplants that can add costs.
