AutoLux Bus Schedule

[Admin]

When I travel throughout Ukraine, I tend to prefer the AutoLux bus for *most* travel - especially if it is less than 400 km or so. The options are usually - train (often overnight) and sometimes an internal flight.

Having taken quite a few internal flights, I am reasonably comfortable with the safety aspects, but I am also not naive and I know their safety record is less than stellar. Something to consider.

Overnight trains are great if, like my wife, you grew up taking them and the rolling motion kind of rocks you to sleep. For me, the motion and the constant clanking of the rails (not tight tolerances, you know), means that I am awake most of the night. Now sometimes that is a good (even GREAT) thing , and sometimes it isn't.

Anyway, Kremenchug is my wife's hometown and is approximately 250 km SE of Kyiv. The overnight train takes nearly 8 hours, where as the AutoLux bus takes slightly more than 4. Cost of a ticket for AutoLux Kyiv to Kremenchug is 30 Hr. ($6 USD), and they have an enroute movie (usually Russian) and snacks and drinks - and a toilet onboard, if needed.

Anyway, I recommend them and you can find their schedule and pricing (in English) at this website:
