Kyiv’s new train to the plane – the Kyiv Boryspil Express train – runs at full schedule this week — 30 times a day, around the clock, linking Kyiv’s Central Rail Station with Boryspil, the nation’s busiest airport. Frequencies vary. Roughly every half hour at peak times — 6 am to 10 am; 6 pm to 10 pm. Once an hour during other times. The fare is 80 UAH, about $2.85 and the ride takes 38 minutes, with one stop at Darnitsa, the Left Bank rail hub. Next year, a stop at Vydubichi is to be added, making for easy access to the Metro Green line. By contrast, the bus costs 100 UAH and drive times are hostage to snow, rush hour traffic jams and repairs on bridges over the Dnipro.
