“Ukrzaliznytsia temporarily introduces verification through Diia for tickets to Poland

Starting August 1, 2024, tickets for several flights to Poland will be sold exclusively with verification through Diia.Signature via the Ukrzaliznytsia app or the company's new website. This was reported by UNN with reference to the statement of Ukrzaliznytsia.

Details

The company explains that in this way they are expanding the successful experience with access to international tickets only for verified users.

Starting from August 1, 2024, tickets for flights #19/20 Kyiv - Chełm - Kyiv, #23/24 Kyiv - Chełm - Kyiv, #51/52 Kyiv - Przemyśl - Kyiv, #89/90 Kyiv - Przemyśl - Kyiv, #73/74 Kharkiv - Przemyśl - Kharkiv will be sold exclusively with verification through Diia.Signature in the app and on the new website of Ukrzaliznytsia for ticket sales

Previously, similar verification has been applied to high-traffic flights to and from Warsaw and Vienna.

UZ adds that  is a temporary solution for the peak period of transportation to overcome the abnormal activity of resellers, as currently Ukrzaliznytsia specialists block up to 50 attempts to buy tickets in bulk per day

Without verification through Diia.Signature, ticket speculators can simply change their phone number and continue their business. This, in turn, slows down the system and prevents bona fide passengers from planning their trip with any certainty

They also added that for foreign users who are unable to install Diia, the railroad leaves the current system of access to international tickets for at least one flight in each direction: Odesa - Przemyśl, Kharkiv - Chełm, Dnipro - Chełm, Kyiv - Przemyśl, Chop - Vienna, Mukachevo - Kosice, Lviv - Warsaw, Kyiv - Chisinau, etc.
