eCherha for shuttle buses has been launched in test mode: Prime Minister

Ukraine aims to maximize the capacity of the routes on its western border, as they are the only reliable arteries for Ukrainian exports amid the blockade of the Black Sea ports. This was emphasized by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a Government meeting on August 1.

"A week ago, one of the longest temporary bridges across the Prut River on the border with Romania was opened. It was built to replace the emergency one. This significantly improves the logistics to the checkpoints on the border with the EU," said Denys Shmyhal.

The Prime Minister emphasized that crossing the border should be as convenient as possible, for this purpose, in particular, the state was developing the eCherha (eQueue) system, already operating for trucks. According to the Head of Government, since yesterday the service has been operating in a test mode for buses at the Ukrainian-Polish border checkpoint Yahodyn-Dorohusk. Testing the service, he said, will help eliminate shortcomings. After that, the service will be available on the entire western border.
