Kyiv City Administration Warns of Payment Interruptions for Transport in Kyiv on September 29-30

In Kyiv, due to technical work following attacks on data centers, temporary interruptions in the operation of payment services for travel may occur. The work began on September 29 at 22:00 and is planned to last until the first half of September 30. Earlier, attacks on data centers had already caused interruptions in digital services in Kyiv. This was reported by the Kyiv City Administration.

Payment for Transport in Kyiv: When Interruptions May Occur on September 29-30, 2026

During the technical work, certain digital services used by passengers to pay for trips on public transport may operate unstably. The Kyiv City Administration advised, if possible, to pay with a bank card. If this is not feasible, passengers were recommended to purchase trips in advance - before the work begins at 22:00.

For those who use a transport card or application, it is important to consider the specifics of validation. Trips purchased before the start of the technical work can still be validated. However, trips purchased during the interruption of services will be stored but temporarily unavailable for validation. After the system is restored, they can be used. More details about payment options for travel in Kyiv - in the material about transport cards and digital services.

Transport Payment Services Expected to Resume After Work

The city administration emphasized that any interruptions will be temporary. Specialists are working to restore stable operation of the services. As during previous outages following attacks on data centers, passengers should pay attention to messages from the city authorities and have an alternative payment method for travel.
