2. Infrastructure

Public transportation

The city of Ivano-Frankivsk has an extensive network of public transport including buses, trolleybuses, andtaxis. There are nine trolleybus routes and about 52 for regular buses. Some of the routes run beyond the city into nearby villages.

Railway transportation

There is one railway terminal locally known as Vokzal. There are also smaller rail stations in the adjacent villages such as Uhryniv,Khryplyn, and other. All of them are part of theLviv Railways.

Bus transportation

Until 2008 the railway terminal also housed a bus terminal which provided several inter-city bus routes, including some to international destinations. In 2000 construction work began on a new bus terminal next to the railway terminus on Zaliznychna Street. Inauguration of the new bus terminal took place on May 22, 2010. At the opening ceremony the mayor of the city, Viktor Anushkevichus, noted that the new bus terminal was only partially completed, and for a period it would be necessary to offload at the Pryvokzalna Square, which is already saturated with traffic. He also emphasised the need for another bus station on the outskirts of the city.

Airways transportation

The city is served by the Ivano-Frankivsk International Airport, which was granted international status in 1992. The airport shares its facilities with the 114 Brigade of theUkrainian Air Force. Since 2002 the airport has been leased to the private enterprise company "Yavson", and from 2005 thePublic limited company"Naftokhimik Prykarpattia", a (subsidiaryofUkrnafta) with whom the contract expires in 2013.
