Hey everyone! I put together a video breaking down Kyiv’s public transport.

Kyiv has a rich tram history. Today, the network features a mix of classic Tatra cars, modern low-floor trams, and the high-capacity Fast Tram (Швидкісний трамвай) lines serving major residential districts.

Beyond the trams, the guide also covers the 5 other key modes of transit keeping the capital moving: Metro, Funicular, City Ring Train, Trolleybuses, and Marshrutkas.Check out the full video!

Would love to hear your thoughts! What's your favorite tram model running in Eastern Europe?

This tram was built in 1933 ( in Leningrad USSR). It was brought here and installed in the central square in August 2012 as a memorial to the tram network in the city.

Tram service existed in Tilsit from 1901 to 1944 and consisted of four lines, one of which was a circular route. The carriages were manufactured by the German company Lahmeyer & Co in Frankfurt am Main. The tram was a highly popular mode of public transport. It also provided a convenient and fast way to reach the other side of the Neman River via the Queen Louise Bridge.

In October 1944, tram service in the city was permanently discontinued.
