Ukrzaliznytsia has opened ticket sales for women-only carriages on three further trains. New women-only compartments will be introduced on the Kharkiv–Odesa, Lviv–Odesa and Lviv–Kyiv routes, with services commencing on 1 May. The decision was made due to consistently high demand for this travel option, which has demonstrated high occupancy rates.
The company reported that the average occupancy rate for women-only carriages exceeds 92%, and passenger satisfaction remains high. As a result, the network of such carriages is being gradually expanded on popular inter-regional routes.
From May, women-only carriages will operate on trains No. 7 Kharkiv–Odesa, No. 12 Lviv–Odesa and No. 92 Lviv–Kyiv. This will bring the total number of routes with separate women-only compartments to 18.

When purchasing tickets via the app or on the website, these carriages are marked separately. Traditionally, this is carriage No. 5 in the relevant train.
