The government promised to control taxi prices, but in Kyiv they rose to 1600 UAH on October 29

On the morning of October 29, traffic jams formed on both banks of the Dnipro against the backdrop of the closure of the Southern Bridge. The largest delays were recorded on the Dnipro embankment, and the cost of individual taxi rides exceeded one thousand UAH. RBC-Ukraine reports this.

Which roads in Kyiv have the most difficult traffic

The heaviest load fell on the approaches to the bridges and central highways. According to the publication, in the morning the delays were:

• Dnipro embankment: up to 50 minutes;

• Kharkiv highway: 26 minutes;

• Naberezhno-Rybalska Street: up to 16 minutes;

• Beresteysky Avenue: from 7 to 11 minutes on different sections;

• Georgiy Narbut Avenue and Lubomyr Huzar Street, Academician Bulakhovskyi Street: about 9 minutes;

• VYacheslav Chornovil and Stetsenko Streets: 6 minutes;

• Zhylianska, Fedir Ernst and T-1038 highway: 5 minutes.

The Southern Bridge has been closed for the third day following the Russian strike on the night of October 27. As a result, passengers and drivers are forced to choose alternative routes between the banks, increasing the load on the transport network.

To transport passengers, the city has engaged additional train services. As of October 28, 16 additional Kyiv City Express trains are scheduled during morning and evening hours.
