"Invitation" to travel.
A trip to Kyiv, as a final return home, was planned for a long time. It was possible to buy a ticket for any type of transport, well, I really wanted to quickly and beautifully. All relatives who successfully traveled by Hyundai, put an end to the choice with their advertising. I drive a Hyundai. Seeing off relatives many times, I saw that it was easy to enter, there were no high steps, there was enough space for luggage and it was clean. Therefore, having dressed, as it were, not quite on the road, and taking a little more hand luggage, at 6.02 I was on the platform in Donetsk. The first surprise is that Hyundai has not yet filed for landing. Usually it's already there. The second surprise is that the speaker broadcasts that de Hyundai is late for landing by 20 minutes. I was no longer surprised and immediately understood everything. At 6.40 (Hyundai was supposed to leave already), 6 compartment cars of the Donetsk-Moscow train were sent to the first track. I have carriage number 7 on my ticket. The loudspeaker on the entire platform only talks about first-class passengers. The conductors goggle their eyes and repeat, count the cars. People are shocked and annoyed. And there are a lot of people, Saturday after all. It turned out that you can enter any car. Came in. The people sedately sat down for 4 people. and no one else is allowed in the compartment. They are explained that there are more tickets and you need to sit down for 6 people. but these are our people. Who has children, who has hemorrhoids, and who is generally fit. People who entered at other stations just stood with suitcases in the corridors. We left at 7.00 arrived in Kyiv at 15.15. We made a stop in Boryspil, people with children were late for planes. Tea at conductors on 4 gr. , coffee 8 gr. At the end of the path, the conductor walked and returned some money to everyone who took tea. Said told. Half of the ticket price was refunded upon arrival. There were scandals and queues at the return box office, there was also some kind of problem with Kharkivsky. But I wasn't in a hurry. I was at home. It was very hard to sit all the way. The train tried to accelerate and at some turns terribly tilted. Those who were on planes were very worried. In general, if I'm still going to go somewhere, I'm unlikely to choose Hyundai. In a coupe it would be a little slower, more comfortable and IMPORTANTLY RELIABLE. Going on a trip, choose what is more reliable.
