Uklon Launches 'Travel' Feature for Domestic and International Bus Tickets

KYIVKYIV

Uklon, Kyivstar's ride-hailing subsidiary, has launched Travel in its app, enabling direct purchase of domestic and international bus tickets without third-party platforms. The beta integrates ticketing into Uklon’s main screen, enhancing its mobility ecosystem alongside ride-hailing, delivery and advertising services.

1. Travel Service Launch

Uklon has rolled out its new Travel feature in the mobile app’s main screen, allowing users to select departure city, destination and date to view and purchase domestic and international bus tickets directly, eliminating reliance on external ticketing platforms.

2. Strategic Diversification

This launch marks a shift from single-product operations to a broader digital ecosystem, joining ride-hailing, courier delivery via Uklon Delivery and digital advertising through Uklon Ads, aiming to increase user engagement and revenue streams.

3. Market Context and Outlook

With air travel suspended and rail networks under strain, the new bus ticketing service leverages existing seasonal demand observed on Uklon’s Ski Bus route and positions the company to capture growth in intercity and cross-border travel bookings.
