Tram in Lviv was the first public transport. At the end of 19th century, it was open the first track of equestrian tram, and just after 14 years – electric tram.
Of course, since that time, the city has changed to unrecognizability, and transport routes intertwined in the most unexpected ways. However, the tram is still a favourite way of moving for Lviv citizens. The leaders of the city say that in the future plan to make the tram as a priority transport.
The Fare – 7 UAH (total), 3,50 UAH (preferential), if if you buy a ticket from the driver. If you buy a ticket at the bus stops or through the Privat 24 app – the ticket will cost 6 UAH (total) and 3 UAH. (preferential).
Attention! The passenger must validate the ticket purchased; otherwise, you have to pay a penalty.

In general, trams are the most comfortable public transport in Lviv. However, there are some problems: if broke anyone on the line – others will not be able to run on time.
Inventing of Trolleybus in Lviv dates in 1909 for ways, where will not able to pass… a tram. Nevertheless, for a long time the idea of such transport did not find support in the city. Therefore, on the streets of the city first trolleybuses appeared just in 1963.
Today there are 8 trolleybus routes in the city. The Fare – 7 UAH (total), 3,50 UAH (preferential), if if you buy a ticket from the driver. If you buy a ticket at the bus stops or through the Privat 24 app – the ticket will cost 6 UAH (total) and 3 UAH. (preferential).
