For the period of EURO 2012 championship the Kyiv subway (metro), will operate longer, as it was announced by Mykola Mamoha, the Deputy Head of Preparations for the European Football Finals at Kyiv City State Administration.

He said that during the championship the subway will prolong its work, especially on match days. Mamoha said this is common practice in all countries holding such large-scale events, so these steps will mean avoidance of inconvenience caused by increasing levels of passenger traffic.

The official also said that road traffic during the championship will be partially restricted in the capital. The mayor’s office has worked out schedules for public transport vehicles whose routes pass through those streets which will be closed off. It is already known that on 28 May Khreshchatyk will be closed off for a screen to be put up, that will stand across the street.
