Ukrzaliznytsia also reminds: if there are no tickets available in the desired direction, it is worth using the auto-purchase function in the UZ application, which automatically purchases a ticket as soon as a free seat becomes available.

It is reminded that earlier it was reported that due to a drone attack on the railway infrastructure in Zhytomyr region, many passenger trains are forced to operate on alternative routes.

The introduction of new trains and increased flights is an important step to facilitate passenger transportation during the holidays. Ukrzaliznytsia aims to provide comfortable conditions for everyone planning to travel across Ukraine, especially to popular tourist destinations. The use of modern technologies, such as automatic ticket purchasing, also demonstrates the company's desire to keep up with the times and meet the needs of its customers.
