Details
They reported some details of the "UZ-3000" program.
We'll tell you right away why it's 3,000 km: this is equivalent to a round trip on the longest route in Ukraine today. We want everyone to be able to discover our country affordably, even if it's a journey from one end of our country to the other
Ukrzaliznytsia clarified that another goal of the program is to "decongest" the railway.

"This is extremely important for all railway workers to have confidence in the future of the industry," Ukrzaliznytsia summarized.
