Trams
and Trolley Bus
Public city transport operates from 6 am to 1 am.
Trams and trolley buses tend to be crammed tight
with people but are a cheap way of traveling around
Odessa (Only 50 kopeck in the city). Often you have
to stand.
You purchase
tickets from the conductor. Insist on a ticket,
because sometimes the conductor does not issue a
ticket and pockets the money. If you are caught
without a ticket, you will be fined around 10-20
Hryvna.
Trams
and trolley buses have fixed stops only.
Grecheskaya
Ploshat (Square) (Греческая Площадь) is the
main transport hub in the center, located behind
the Dom Kenege bookstore.
(west of the Deribasovskaya McDonald's (Дерибасовская),
slightly east of the gor-saud (Deribasovskaya park))
Trolley
bus 5 from the train station goes to Arcadia
beach (last stop).
Trolley bus 9 from Grecheskaya Ploshat
(Square) travels to one street east of the train
station.
Marshutka
Marshutkas are route taxis /minivans / microbuses
that cost one hryvna to go to all of the city destinations.
(Slightly more for far north and south destinations)
Look for these two signs inside the marshutka:
Оплата при Входе
Pay when entering
Оплата при Выходе
Pay when leaving
It is
okay to flag a marshutka and ask if it is going
to a particular location.
Marshutkas
will stop at any time a passenger asks. Yell "zdes"
(here).

Inter-city
buses tend to be old, overcrowded and more uncomfortable
than train travel. If you do decide to travel by
bus we strongly recommend Avto Luks (below).
If travelling
to a city near Odessa it is Recommended you take
a marshutka (route taxi) or buses because local
trains stop often and take considerable amounts
of time to arrive at the destination.
