The government launches 3000 km across Ukraine: how to get free train tickets

According to Міністерство інфраструктури: The Government of Ukraine has launched the "3000 km across Ukraine" program for residents of frontline areas to support them and provide funding for passenger transportation. This initiative has become part of the "Winter Support".

As part of this program, everyone will have the opportunity to make up to four trips of 3000 kilometers on different types of carriages on designated routes. The first trains under this program will set off on December 5.

"Supporting frontline communities is our priority. We must ensure convenient and accessible transport logistics where war continues. Residents of these areas need our support," said Oleksii Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine.

Rules for Participation in the Program

To be eligible for trips of 3000 kilometers, you must have a verified account in the "Ukrzaliznytsia" app through "Diia.Signature".

• Install or update the app, select the "3000" option and "Participate".
• Choose the required train marked "3000", and the ticket cost will be deducted from the bonus kilometer account.

This program does not require additional budget expenditures, however, compensators will allow Ukrzaliznytsia to generate additional income. The compensation mechanism is planned to be implemented by the end of 2025.

• Children over the age of 5 also have the opportunity to travel 3000 km.
