Local transport.

Buses.

The public bus network is not well-developed and the number of lines is limited. A cheap alternative to the public transport are the route cars - small private mini-buses providing transport around the city and the suburbs where usual city buses would not travel. The route cars do not have any fixed stops nor timetables, yet their services are relatively cheap, fast, and efficient. The route cars also run on suburban lines to most towns of the region including the line to Shehyni at the Polish border.

Tramways.

The first tramway lines in the city were opened on May 5, 1880. On May 31, 1894, the last horse-powered line was electrified. In 1922 the tramways were switched to right-hand-side system. After World War II and the annexation of the city by the Soviet Union, several lines were closed for service, yet most of the tramway infrastructure was preserved.

Currently, the Lviv tramway operates approximately 220 cars on 75 kilometres of track. Most of the tracks are in very poor condition, the trams themselves are in fair condition, and can be crowded and packed during rush hours. A simple distance-regardless tariffs system exists in Lviv's public transport: the tickets for ground transport are bought for each entrance into the vehicle.

Trolleybuses.

After the war and the expulsion of the majority of the city's inhabitants, the city started to grow rapidly. This was due to an influx of evacuees returning from Russia at the war's end, and the program of development of heavy industry which was vigorously pursued by the Soviet Government. The latter included, in some cases, transplanting entire factories from the Ural region and other distant places into newly "freed" (acquired) territories of the USSR, including Lviv, the Baltic Republics, and other territories.

The cancelled tramway lines in the city centre were replaced with trolleybuses on November 27, 1952. In the later period new lines were opened for communication with the blocks-of-flats areas at the city outskirts. Currently the trolleybus network runs 200, mostly of the 1960s 14Tr type.

Railway.

Modern Lviv retains its place as a railway hub, with nine railways converging on the city. There are many destinations, both within Ukraine and international. Most cities in Ukraine can be reached from the city's main train station. Due to the proximity of the Polish-Ukrainian border, there are several trains going to Poland (mostly via Przemyśl) for example the luxurious Kyiv-Kraków link. There are good connections to Slovakia (Košice) and also Hungary (Budapest). The trains are slow by western standards, but many of the routes have overnight trains with sleeping compartments. The prices are very cheap by western standards even though Ukraine has doubled the price recently, and a ticket to the western border with Hungary or Slovakia (a distance of several hundred kilometres) will just cost a few euros or dollars.

Airport.

Aside from extensive railway connections, Lviv can be reached by air. The Lviv International Airport (LWO) lies only 6 km from the city center
