Ukraine has begun issuing the first electronic permits for interregional bus routes, a process being carried out by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine in collaboration with Ukrtransbezpeka.
According to information from the Ministry of Development, nearly 40 carriers that won the competition on March 16 are already receiving these permits. In total, this applies to 37 routes connecting various regions of Ukraine.
Routes with digital permits

- Sarny – Kyiv
- Sumy – Kyiv

Digital permits are issued through the online portal in the Unified Information Systems Complex of Ukrtransbezpeka.
Advantages of the new system
This innovation is part of the domestic transport reform, which simplifies the work of transport companies and increases market transparency. Eliminating paper documentation ensures speed and control over the process.
Serhiy Derkach, Deputy Minister of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine, noted that only 10 days passed from the time of the tender to the issuance of the permit, which enables the state to combat illegal transportation more effectively.
