Reasons for the tariff increase explained in Lviv
In the tariff structure, about 40% of costs are attributed to fuel and electricity. Another 60% consists of salaries for transport workers, maintenance, repair, and the purchase of spare parts.
Particularly significant expenses remain for electric transport, where substantial funds are spent on maintaining infrastructure and repairing rolling stock.
The increase in tariffs in Lviv is being discussed against the backdrop of a sharp rise in diesel fuel prices, which have significantly increased in price over the past year.
New tariffs may be implemented as early as the beginning of summer
Before making a final decision in Lviv, consultations with the public must be conducted. Following this, the new tariffs should be approved by the executive committee of the city council.
If the decision is supported, the new travel costs will take effect starting June 1, 2026.
Lviv remains one of the cities in Ukraine that actively develops the electronic ticket system and encourages passengers to use cashless payment through transport cards.
It should be noted that starting April 27 in Lviv, the action of the preferential LeoCart is being expanded: residents of other communities who have the right to free travel will also be able to use it.
