About the Chișinău – Kharkiv route
The Chișinău – Kharkiv bus is the return leg from the Moldovan capital to the largest city in eastern Ukraine. Boarding is usually at the stop by the airport on Dacia Boulevard, followed by the Ukrainian-Moldovan border crossing, the road via Odesa where most services change buses, and a long leg east. In Kharkiv coaches arrive at the station on Yuriia Haharina Avenue or the Pryvokzalna stop. The journey spans a night on the road. It is used by travellers returning home from Moldova and by passengers off Romanian and Bulgarian services who transfer in Chișinău. Tickets are sold as a reservation, paid to the driver at boarding.
