Ridership of the Kyiv Metro is down 40% yoy, to 250 million this year, Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko told reporters yesterday. Referring to the 2-month lockdown last spring, he said: “For the first time in 60 years of the existence of the Kiev metro, it did not work.” By the end of this month, all 52 stations of the system are to have 4G mobile internet. By the end of next year, two new stations should open on the Green Line, extending the line 8 km to the northwest, from Syrets to Prospekt Pravdy and Mostytska.
