The increase in vacancies is partly due to forced migration, the specific nature of the professions, and mobilization efforts in connection with the state of war.

In particular, about 7% of metro employees are currently serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and their number is constantly increasing.

Given the current staffing situation, train schedules on all subway lines will be adjusted in the near future.

The intervals between trains will be increased by approximately one minute and 45 seconds during peak hours.

As previously reported, the Dnipro metro will hold consultations with contractors on the completion of three stations.
