 |
| The Metro in Kiev is the main
form of public transport there are three lines, red, green and blue. The red
line is the most busy and longest with a total of 18 stops. It costs 50 kopeks
for a metro token (Zheton). Cards can be purchased which are valid for one month
from the beginning of each month. Half way through each month, 2 week cards are
issued and cost half the price of a monthly card. There are different versions
of these cards which allow combination of travel on the metro, trolley bus or
tram. They are marked on the cards as "M" for metro,"T" for tram and "TP" for
trolley bus. For instance a card marked with "M" and "TP" can be
used on the metro and trolley bus - as pictured below. |

The use of tokens and
cards for the Metro are both in a similar manner. The difference is that
at the tokens are placed in to the machines, to operate the turnstiles
and the cards are swiped. |
