As it was earlier reported, the Kyiv city state administration has made a decision to raise the cost of one trip in Kyiv subway to Hr 2 from Hr 1.7 from August 28.

The Kyiv Metropoliten municipal enterprise running the Kyiv subway expected the fare to grow to Hr 2 per trip by the end of 2010.

In November 2008, a working group of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine examined the economic grounds for the higher fares and recommended the Kyiv city state administration to trim the fares.

The Kyiv city state administration lowered the fares by Hr 0.3 to Hr 1.7 per trip and raised the cost of the travel cards by 15-150% from January 31, 2009.
