Prime Minister of Ukraine and deputy Kyiv City Administration chief and transportation officials opened a new commuter line on the left bank of the capital and inspect reconstruction of the Left Bank railway station. The projects, started in 2008, were paid for by taxpayers. The government and city officials in recent months have teamed up on a number of transporation projects. On October 23, government and city officials opened a viaduct considerably easing commutes to Kyiv's Obolon and Minsk districts along the river. Photo by UNIAN
