Lviv city authorities together with EBRD are going to improve the public transportation system by implementing the electronic fare concept.
 
The new E-ticket system should increase the average speed of public transport by reducing the wait at stops, increase the number of passengers in the public transport sector and slow down the upward trend of private passenger traffic.
 
The E-ticket system will be operated by LVIVAVTODOR municipal company.

“According to the Danish Business Association, at least 56 companies with investments from Denmark are now based in Ukraine’s western regions.
 
Lviv's IT outsourcing businesses started growing sharply in 2008, several years after Danish manufacturers first arrived. The association’s president, Lars Vestbjerg, told the Kyiv Post that Lviv’s economy is growing.
 
Mr.Vestbjerg works as a general manager at Sika Footwear A/S, a Danish company with a plant in Lviv. It produces work shoes and sells them on the European and U.S. markets.
 
“Denmark was probably the only country in those five years (after the 2008 financial crisis) who still came to Ukraine. All the other ones were waiting a little bit after the crisis,” says Vestbjerg. Mr.Vestbjerg’s HRT Textiles, a company with an 80-year history in Denmark, decided to relocate its production facility to Ukraine in 2002. Logistics, cheap labor and other costs were deciding factors in the company’s decision to move production here.

“Lviv is like booming, it’s developing,” Vestbjerg said.”
