/ Ukraine /

The public organization "Passengers of Kyiv" became the winner of the Lun Awards 2026 in the "My City" nomination. The team received the award for its contribution to the cancellation of ground transport stops during air raids.

According to reported in the organization, the decision was the result of a three-year advocacy campaign.

In 2025, the Kyiv Defense Council with the participation of the Kyiv City Military Administration allowed ground public transport to continue moving during the alarms. According to activists, this has allowed hundreds of thousands of Kyiv residents and visitors to the capital to get to their destinations faster and avoid additional taxi costs.

The team notes that they are also working to improve the operation of public transport. In particular, for the Kyivpastrans municipal enterprise, traffic schedules were developed and are regularly updated, taking into account traffic jams on a number of routes, which contributed to increasing punctuality of transportation.

In addition, “Passengers of Kyiv” is engaged in issues of barrier-free access. Among the results of their activities, the activists mention the arrangement of platforms during the reconstruction of transport infrastructure in Obolon and the installation of the first Kassel curb in Kyiv at a public transport stop.
