Ukrzaliznytsia launches ticket monitoring and auto-purchase function: how it works
Kyiv • UNN
Ukrzaliznytsia has launched a ticket monitoring feature with an automatic purchase option that allows you to track the availability of certain seats or trains between selected cities and automatically buy tickets when they become available.
Ukrzaliznytsia is launching a ticket monitoring function with the possibility of auto-purchase for all users. UNN writes about this with reference to a statement from UZ.
Details
Now two types of monitoring are available for users authorized through Diia.Signature:
- monitoring for trains that are already on sale (with the ability to track the availability of specific seats);
- monitoring for destinations (with the ability to track the availability of trains between selected cities).
When monitoring a specific train, you can also enable the automatic ticketing function. To do this, you need to enter passenger data and pay for the order: when the function is activated, funds will be withdrawn immediately, and if the monitoring is canceled or the required tickets are not found, the funds will be returned to the card automatically
Also, when the required tickets are found, users will receive push notifications in the app. Also, if the auto-buy function is activated, users will receive push notifications about already redeemed tickets.
UZ advises users to check in advance whether push notifications are enabled in your profile settings .
Addendum
The company adds that currently monitoring and automatic ticketing are not available for trains to/from Poland (except for Intercity+) and the direct Kyiv-Vienna train.
However, you may receive a notification when ticket sales for these destinations open
Recall
Ukrzaliznytsia has launched online ticket sales for the new direct train #143/146 to Hungary, running from Chop to Budapest to Vienna.
