Starting November 14, bus and marshrutka fares in Mykolaiv will increase, followed by tram and trolleybus fares on December 1. New tariffs approved by the executive committee of the city council on November 12.
According to Mykolaiv City Council.
Effective November 14, a ride on municipal "Mykolaivpastrans" buses will cost 25 hryvnias. The fare to the Mala Korenykha district will remain unchanged at 30 hryvnias.
For private minibuses, the following fares have been set:
- Ride within the city: 25 UAH;
- To Velyka Korenykha district: 30 UAH;
- To Mala Korenykha district: 35 UAH.
On December 1, fares on electric transport will also rise. A single ticket on a tram or trolleybus purchased from a driver or kiosk will cost 20 hryvnias. Fares are 18 via QR code payment, and 10 for students with a valid student ID.
Prices of monthly passes will change as well. A monthly pass for one type of electric transport will cost 720 hryvnias, while a combined pass for tram and trolleybus will be 1080. Students can buy discounted monthly passes for 360 or 540, respectively.
Meanwhile, schoolchildren will keep travel benefits. Students in grades 1–11(12) can use private minibuses at 50% discount during the school year (September 1 to June 1) with a student ID.
On "Mykolaivpastrans" municipal buses, schoolchildren ride free of charge during martial law with a valid student ID. After martial law ends, a 50% discount will apply during school periods.
As Suspilne Mykolaiv reports, utility companies attribute the fare increase to rising costs of fuel, electricity, spare parts, and transport repairs.
"Mykolaivelectrotrans" also advises passengers not to stock up on paper tickets and buy only what they need for November, before new fares take effect.
