It is important to ensure safety and convenience for those around you
This is reported by Kyiv24
As the Christmas holidays approach, more and more residents of Kyiv are considering how to transport a Christmas tree home. If you do not have your own car, using the metro is a convenient option, but certain rules must be followed to ensure comfort for yourself and other passengers.
Size Requirements and Transportation Fees
Before heading to the metro with a tree, it is important to consider its size. If the height of the tree does not exceed 150 cm, it can be transported for free. If the tree is between 150 and 220 cm tall, an additional ticket costing 8 hryvnias must be purchased. Transporting trees taller than 220 cm in the subway is prohibited.
Packaging and Safety Rules
Metro staff emphasize that passengers with unwrapped trees may be denied entry at the stations. To avoid incidents and not create inconvenience for others, the tree must be wrapped or securely fastened. This will help prevent passengers from being injured by branches and will prevent the tree from getting caught in the escalator mechanisms.
For packaging, you can use plastic or stretch film, sturdy rope, a special cover, a cardboard box, or packing netting.
“This rule applies not only to large trees but also to small trees or decorative branches. Safe packaging contributes to the comfort of all passengers.”
Following these simple recommendations will make transporting a tree on the metro convenient and safe for all participants in the journey.
