Starting from August 1, cars and passenger vehicles will be able to cross the border with Poland using the eCherha service. Find out more about how to sign up for the electronic queue online
Starting from August 1, cars and passenger vehicles will be able to cross the border in an electronic queue in Ukraine. Here's a look at where the service will be launched and how it will affect the flow of cars crossing the border.
On July 28, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to extend the eCherha service to cars and passenger vehicles. Previously, the electronic queue was intended only for trucks.
Where will the service be launched and what will change for citizens?
According to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, the decision to expand the eCherha service to cars and passenger vehicles will reduce the queue at the border and make the crossing more comfortable.
According to State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety, the service for buses is to be launched in test mode on August 1 at the Yahodyn-Dorohusk International Automobile Checkpoint.
Motorists can sign up for the electronic queue at echerha.gov.ua. The registration starts on July 31.
