Ukrzaliznytsia has launched its first children’s carriage as part of the Kharkiv-Ivano-Frankivsk train.
Censor.NET reports this, citing the company’s Facebook post.
The new carriage runs as part of train No. 001/002 Yednist and has been fully booked since its first trips. The company says the format is designed for comfortable travel for families with children.
Comfortable travel: what the children’s carriage offers
The carriage has 36 seats, and only passengers with children under 14 are allowed to board. Children under five can travel free of charge.
Playpens, changing tables and devices for warming baby food are available for the youngest passengers. Play elements, including mazes and busy boards, have been installed in the corridors, and each compartment has a separate theme.
"100% occupancy and 100% smiles from young passengers after a difficult day for Kharkiv," Ukrzaliznytsia wrote.
The carriages are equipped with special toilets with child seats and footrests. A children’s menu is also available, featuring simple and popular dishes.
