Since August, the state-owned Ukrzaliznytsia has been introducing verification via "Diya.Pidpys" in a test mode for a number of popular trains. The carrier's press service reports this in its Telegram channels.
"We continue to use all methods to reduce the number of possible abuses when purchasing train tickets. Therefore, from August 1, in order to buy or return tickets for certain domestic trains, passengers must verify their identity through "Diya.Pidpis", — the message says.
At the first stage of implementing the changes, verification is required for flights:
- No. 105/106 Odesa — Kyiv;
- No. 91/92 Lviv — Kyiv;
- No. 29/30 Kyiv — Uzhhorod;
- No. 12 Lviv — Odesa;
- No. 27/28 Kyiv — Chop.
It is noted that purchasing tickets for these flights through ticket offices will not be available.
The UZ noted that the new rules will not apply to flights with a special reserve of tickets for military personnel. Military personnel can continue to book and purchase such tickets through a special service of Ukrzaliznytsia and through Army+.
