Free trains for Ukrainians help hundreds of people every day
2/3/2022Press releases

The Czech Railways (ČD) provides hundreds of Ukrainian citizens heading to their homeland, for example, for general mobilization, with free transport on all trains, including those with mandatory seat reservation. Ukrainian citizens only need to prove their passport. These passengers can be transported without necessary reservation also in all trains where a seat reservation is typically required. By the end of February, more than 3500 Ukrainian citizens had taken advantage of this offer. This number is growing every day.
