He acknowledged that in Kiev at the train station there are problems with escalators and elevators.

“On the escalator until the end of autumn this year we plan to completely replace. Structurally, when it’s equipped, it was not designed for the flow of passengers we have today. Regarding the elevators – we need to replace a system that works on the platforms and one that serves Central station. The question is that the current infrastructure, passenger in particular, are not designed for those needs that requires present. Need capital to rebuild and invest in something to not be repaired, and replace what is not working or is not working properly”, – said the head of “Ukrzaliznytsya”.
