The “Basarabia” Kyiv–Chisinau train stops in Ungheni daily from 28 June, after years of a rare service
The international “Basarabia” train, which links Kyiv to Chisinau through Ungheni station, switches from an every-other-day service to a daily one on 28 June. Ukrainian Railways announced the change after talks with the Railway of Moldova; for Ungheni residents it means a direct rail link every day — towards Chisinau and eastward — plus a new carriage for families with children. It is a different line from the one towards Iasi that is discussed in connection with electrification.
