Thats contrary to my experience. Even if that were true , well lets
multiply the monthly card by 10. That still only makes it 28 quid.
Still 1/5th that of london.

out of the city centre. That would make it at least the same as zone 4
and if you take into account the fact that kiev is somewhat smaller
than london it would make it the equivalent of zone 6.
