Contexte culturel
Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ) is the national railway. Buying a ticket often involves choosing between 'Platskart' (open sleeper), 'Kupe' (compartment), or 'Intercity' (seating). The 'Diia' app and Telegram bots are now the most popular ways to buy tickets, reflecting Ukraine's high level of digital integration. It is common to buy tickets for friends and family. One person often 'takes' (бере) tickets for the whole group. During 'Svyata' (holidays), tickets must be bought exactly 45 days in advance or you won't find any.

Always try to buy tickets via the official 'Ukrzaliznytsia' app. It's faster and you avoid the 'kasa' lines.
