Transportation in Kyiv

# Getting Around Kyiv: Transportation Overview Kyiv offers several transportation options for visitors, though specific route data is limited for this overview. The city's public transport network typically includes a metro system, buses, trolleybuses, and trams that serve the main districts. For first-time visitors, the metro is generally the most straightforward option as stations have bilingual signage (Ukrainian and English), though navigating the Cyrillic alphabet can initially be challenging. Taxis and ride-sharing services are widely available and offer a comfortable alternative, particularly for routes not well-served by public transport. **Airport Transfer Tip**: Kyiv's Boryspil International Airport connects to the city center through multiple options including express trains, buses, and taxis.
