July 1, 2026 — Uklon announces the launch of Uklon Travel Bus, a branded international bus service. Initially, two popular international routes for Ukrainians will be available: Kyiv–Warsaw and Odesa–Chisinau. This pilot phase will allow the company to test the model before scaling the service to other destinations. The maiden trip is scheduled to depart on July 20, 2026.
Uklon Travel Bus represents the next step in evolving the Travel service, which the company introduced in March 2026. Previously, users could purchase tickets for various third-party carriers. With the launch of Uklon Travel Bus, the platform introduces routes organized by the company, while the physical transportation will be operated by a partner carrier. Tickets can be purchased directly within the app's Travel section or on the Uklon website.
The launch follows a distinct operational model: partner carriers provide the transportation, while Uklon manages ticket sales, service quality standards, and passenger support throughout the journey. Integration with the ride-hailing ecosystem allows users to combine urban rides and intercity travel into a convenient route within one app. This provides passengers with a seamless travel experience, while Uklon expands its service use cases.
"Uklon's transformation from a single-product company into an ecosystem means we strive to cover all user mobility needs — from daily city rides to cross-border travel. Travel started as a search and booking service for bus tickets, and within just a few months, it exceeded its target by 120%. This confirmed strong market demand, so now we are taking the next step and organizing Uklon Travel Bus routes in a pilot mode," noted Serhii Hryshkov, CEO of Uklon.
Uklon Travel Bus passengers will have access to amenities such as Starlink internet, seat selection, direct routes to Warsaw (Chopin) and Chisinau airports, as well as return trips. By purchasing a bus ticket, users also have the opportunity to receive a promo code (discount) for an Uklon ride, subject to the promotional terms and conditions available at uklon.com.ua under the "Promotions" section.
