About the Krakow – Zhytomyr route
The Krakow–Zhytomyr bus runs from Lesser Poland to the Zhytomyr region over about 780 km, taking 13–18 h. It carries workers and students heading home from Krakow, as well as people who fly into Krakow and travel on to Ukraine: some trips pick up right at John Paul II Airport. The other boarding point is the MDA bus station at 18 Bosacka street, next to the main railway station. There is no direct train between the cities, so the bus is the most straightforward way. The bus crosses the border at Korczowa – Krakivets or Dorohusk – Yahodyn. In Zhytomyr the drop-off is at the Tsentralnyi bus station at 93 Kyivska street or at the BRSM filling station stop opposite it, at 95 Nezalezhnosti avenue. Most trips are direct; only some involve a change.
