Frequently asked questions

Yes. Since 24 May 2022 riding the metro — and all municipal transport in Kharkiv — has been free of charge by decision of the city council, a policy extended into 2026. Just walk through the gate. Before the war a single ride cost 8 ₴.

Stations open at 05:30, the lobbies close at 22:00 and the last trains depart around 22:00–22:10. Under martial law the schedule can change.

Metro stations act as shelters — entry is open to everyone and trains may pause temporarily. The metro also hosts underground “metro schools” for Kharkiv children.

Vokzalna station (red line) sits right by the Kharkiv-Pasazhyrskyi terminal. Maidan Konstytutsii is 2 stops away — about 5 minutes.

The Kharkiv Metro opened on 23 August 1975 — the sixth metro of the USSR and the second in Ukraine after Kyiv. Today the network spans 38 km; before the full-scale war it carried over 200 million passengers a year.
