Travelers affected by
closures in the Kyiv Metro system will be reimbursed, according to the city’s
transport authority on Dec. 18.
"The city will reimburse passengers for rides on temporary routes No. 2-M, 60, 43-K and additional rides on the blue line," Kyivpastrans said via a spokesperson.
The compensation scheme will be in effect until the repairs between Demiyivska and Lybidska stations are completed.
Kyiv authorities recently announced that starting Dec. 9, traffic on Kyiv Metro’s Blue Line between Demiyivska and Teremky metro stations will be closed for repairs.
An investigation has been launched to ascertain whether criminal negligence was responsible for the damage to the tunnel.
