What will the tariffs for utilities and transport in Kyiv be in May 2026

In Kyiv, starting from May 1, 2026, the tariffs for communal services and public transport fares will not change. Residents of the capital will continue to pay at current rates without increases. This is reported by "Life.kyiv.ua".

Utilities tariffs in Kyiv: prices for electricity, gas, and water

The cost of electricity for household consumers remains at the level of state regulation:

• 4.32 UAH/kWh - standard tariff;

• 2.16 UAH/kWh - night tariff (from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM).

The gas price also remains unchanged. There is a fixed tariff for the population:

• 7.96 UAH per cubic meter.

Naftogaz of Ukraine has an annual tariff plan extended until April 30, 2027. Transportation and distribution services for gas are paid separately.

Water tariffs in the capital have been unchanged since 2022:

• 30.38 UAH/m³ - general tariff;

• 16.16 UAH/m³ - cold water;

• 14.22 UAH/m³ - wastewater;

• 97.89 UAH/m³ - hot water (including VAT).

Transport costs in Kyiv: will the fares increase?

The prices for public transport rides in the capital remain at the current level:

• 8 UAH - metro, bus, tram, trolleybus, funicular;

• 14.99 UAH - city train.

Tickets are available in various formats depending on the number of rides and the validity period.

In private minivans, the fares are set by the operators themselves. Currently, it ranges from 15 to 20 UAH per ride.

At the same time, experts note that the actual cost of transportation significantly exceeds the current tariffs. In particular, it is estimated to be more than 60 UAH for a single ride on the metro. Despite this, no decisions to increase the fare have been made so far.

Discussions about a possible review of tariffs in the capital are ongoing, but no specific changes are expected in the near future.

It should be recalled that Kyiv is preparing to increase fares in public transport due to a sharp rise in costs. The actual cost of a metro ride already exceeds 64 UAH, which forces the city to review its tariff policy.
