A temporary bus has been launched in Kyiv between the right and left banks: route №1-M
Since September 3, 2026, the temporary bus №1-M has been operating in Kyiv, connecting the metro stations «Palace of Sports» and «Lisova». This additional surface route is designed to ease passenger movement between the right and left banks of the capital. This was reported by KP «Kyivpastrans».
Bus №1-M runs along the surface section of the Sviatoshyn-Brovarska metro line. During peak passenger times, 12 buses will operate simultaneously on the route.
How bus №1-M will operate in Kyiv from September 3, 2026
Buses will travel from the city center across the Metro Bridge to the station «Lisova». The route covers several central streets and transport highways of the capital.
In particular, bus №1-M will travel through:
- Esplanadna, Rohnydynska, Shota Rustaveli, Baseyna, and Mechnikov;
- Klovskyi uzviz, Kryposnyi provulok, Mykhaila Hrushevskoho, Knyaziv Ostrozskykh, Henerala Almazova, and Staronavodnytska;
- Mykola Mikhnovskyi Boulevard, Naberezhne Shose, and the Metro Bridge;
- Brovarskyi Avenue, Raisy Okipnoi, Yevhen Svertstiuk, and Hеorhiia Narbuta Avenue;
- Andrii Malyshek, Hetmana Pavla Polubotka, and Kyoto.
Thus, the route provides direct surface connections between the central part of Kyiv and the left bank areas.
