About the Pilsen – Kyiv route
Travelling by bus from Pilsen to Kyiv is, for most passengers, a journey home — Ukrainians who live and work in western Bohemia heading back to see family, return for holidays, or move between work contracts. The route covers roughly 1430 km and takes about 24–28 hours, crossing first the Czech–Polish and then the Polish–Ukrainian border, where everyone clears passport and customs checks. Departures are typically from Pilsen's central CAN coach station on Husova street, with the coach transiting Poland before reaching Kyiv at the Kyiv bus station near Vydubychi metro or the central terminal. On this direction the fare is paid directly to the driver in cash when you board — online card payment isn't available, so it's wise to have the money ready in advance.
