Public Transport
« on: 17:06 18-Jul-2020 »
I know in Ukraine that pensioners get free public transport, does that apply to anybody of that age regardless of citizenship? I am 65 and from U.S., will I get to ride for free too?  Its not like I cant afford it, but hey, if its free for me, why not?

Nope, not at all. Travel entitlements are available to Ukrainian pensioners.

Why should Ukraine subsidise foreigners? Think of it as a very small tax paid for finding your love in your twilight years. A bargain!

I would put a ton of emphasis on that "usually"! Here is some more!

We're mid-70s, so old/ancient/antique but young at heart. Most give up their seat for my beloved babushka but not YT!  :(

Average life expectancy in Ukraine is 67.02 years for the guys and 76.5 for the gals, so we cannot complain.

Recommend cremation, the green solution and visa accepted!

Kyiv Crematorium

The responsive and attentive attitude of the staff of Kiev Krematuria to customers is a priority in the work of the enterprise, since cremation is a modern environmentally friendly type of funeral of the dead. The world practice for more than a century has widely used the highly cultural tradition of farewell to the deceased-cremation as a way of burial, which is a modern direction in ecology and the economy of funeral. Our customer can pay all services of cremation, burial and buy ritual items for cash, and with the help of VISA card or by cashless settlement.
