Routes of Russian direction were the most profitable for Ukraine last year. Kyiv-Moscow train brought 154 million 500 thousand UAN to the state budget.

To the top-5 most profitable routes also belong Odessa-Moscow and Kyiv-St. Petersburg trains, with the total profit of 119 million 390 thousand UAN.

Ukrzaliznytsia explains the situation: the profit is the result of a high tickets’ price.

To get to Moscow from Kyiv you have to pay 3100 UAN for a ticket.

However, people still use trains because there no planes to Russia.
