City views - Chornovola Street

A view from the corner at Chornovola Street. The marshrutka bus system (from French 'marche' + 'route') costs 1 hryvna (twenty cents). Locals complain of growing traffic congestion in the city, especially in the 'ring road.' As in other European cities there are more private cars, narrow streets and little parking. I only use the buses when the weather is bad. Otherwise it's fifteen minutes from where I live to the city center. I turn left at this corner and it's another ten minutes to the university.
