Kyiv residents report surge in taxi prices due to bridge closures

Change in tariffs for crossing the Dnipro

A significant increase in taxi fares has been recorded in Kyiv. The main cause of this surge is the closure of Dnipro bridges amid Russian strikes. Drivers are demanding significantly higher sums for standard routes that previously cost much less.

How much a trip between the banks costs

According to available data, drivers charge up to 2,300 hryvnia for a trip from the left bank to the right bank (or vice versa). This indicates a several-fold increase in cost compared to usual rates, caused by the need to detour or use alternative routes due to closed crossings.
