About the Chernivtsi – Kielce route
The Chernivtsi – Kielce bus links the capital of Bukovina with the capital of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship in central Poland. The route runs through western Ukraine to a crossing on the Ukrainian-Polish border, then continues by road to Kielce, a city near the Świętokrzyskie Mountains roughly midway between Krakow and Warsaw. Passengers include labour migrants, students, families visiting relatives, and travellers continuing onward across Poland. Given the moderate distance and steady demand from the Bukovina region, tickets are sold as a reservation: you lock in a seat online in advance, then pay the driver in cash at boarding — online card payment is not yet available on this route. Check the current schedule and seat availability before you travel.
