About the Chișinău – Mykolaiv route
The Chișinău to Mykolaiv coach covers roughly 330 kilometres in five to seven hours, and for most travellers it is a journey back home — Ukrainian students heading from their studies, workers returning to family for a short visit, and Moldovans setting off to see relatives in southern Ukraine. The route crosses the Moldova–Ukraine border, so keep your international passport handy; the checkpoint adds a little to the overall travel time. Buses usually depart from the Chișinău central bus station and drop passengers at Mykolaiv's main terminal, with easy onward connections by city transport or taxi. You pay for the ticket online by card in hryvnia, the full amount up front, so there is nothing to settle with the driver — your seat is reserved before you even board.
