An attorney has claimed that purchasing a train ticket in Ukraine is not simply a financial transaction, but rather the conclusion of a public contract. This assertion suggests that Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukraine’s state-owned railway company, is legally obligated to provide services to anyone who seeks them. The legal argument highlights the potential for passengers to hold Ukrzaliznytsia accountable for service quality and availability. The implications of this perspective could affect the company’s operations and its interactions with the public.
