Trains
Traveling by train in Ukraine is time consuming and not as comfortable as you might like. Cross country train schedules are “timed” so that the journey is an all-nighter allowing you sleep on your journey.
Trains are divided in to 3 classes, 1st class (2 beds in 1 cabin), coupe (4 beds in a cabin) and 3rd class (6 beds in an open compartment). If you bring your own toilet paper and plan well, then you can improve the experience. Tips: Bring food and drinks with you. Make sure you don’t travel 3rd class. Book a lower bed in 2nd class.
If there are 2 of you and you want to travel 1st class, then why not book all 4 beds in a 2nd class wagon. It adds up to half the price and the beds are the same size anyway.
You’ll be woken up a full hour before your destination.
Buses
Buses leave from the Train station and from the Central Coach Terminal

It’s a really bad way to travel in Ukraine with journeys taking as long if not longer than the trains.
