Kyiv metro carried 17.2 million riders in August after fare hike AI
Kyiv’s metro recorded 17.2 million passenger rides in August 2026, Grani Kieva reports. The figure follows a fare increase that raised the single-trip price to 30 UAH from 15 July 2026 and, the outlet says, represents a drop of 2.8 million passengers. The mid‑July fare rise to 30 UAH affects everyday commuters; the August figures point to an early decline in metro use citywide.
Local outlet Grani Kieva reports that Kyiv’s metro carried 17.2 million passengers in August 2026. The figure comes after the city set the single-trip fare for municipal transport at 30 UAH on 15 July 2026.
The same report states the August total was 2.8 million passengers lower than the previously reported figure. Grani Kieva presents these numbers as an early sign of changing travel patterns after the fare increase; readers should consult official Kyiv transport releases for full month-by-month breakdowns and confirmations.
