The metro in Kyiv is one of the most popular types of public transport, but not everyone has the opportunity to use it.<\/p>\n
Since 2026, new rules for passengers have been introduced, which must be followed; otherwise, they may not be allowed to enter the station. The Kyiv Metro informs that travel is possible only with a valid electronic ticket registered in the automated fare accounting system (ASOP). Fare payment is required each time you pass through the turnstile, except for persons entitled to benefits.<\/p>\n
Tickets with an expired validity date or issued to a person other than the owner do not give the right to free travel. Passage through the turnstile is allowed only after the ticket is correctly registered, as confirmed by a light and sound signal.<\/p>\n
Who has the right to pass through the metro without a turnstile?<\/p>\n
For some passenger categories, an alternative entrance is provided via checkpoints at stations. This applies to:<\/p>\n
persons who use benefits;<\/p>\n
parents with strollers;
\nchildren under 7 years old (including those in the arms of their parents);
\npeople with visual impairments, in particular with guide dogs;
\npeople with disabilities who move in wheelchairs, with the help of crutches or canes.
