4G mobile service now covers 98% of Kyiv’s metro

4G mobile service now covers 98% of Kyiv’s metro, according to a press release by the three participating cellphone companies – Kyivstar, Vodaphone Ukraine and lifecell. Yesterday, the fast service was extended to 23 stations. In December, Teremky, the southern Terminus of the Blue line, is to be last of the rail system’s 52 stations to connect to 4G. Already about one third of the system’s 800,000 daily riders are using the service, which averages 40 Mb/s. After starting in March, work is ahead of schedule in part due to the 2-month shutdown of the system last spring in an effort to block the spread of coronavirus.
