[2] The project uses a long-existing railroad ring in the city for peak hour circulation of electric multiple unit trains.

Working 2 since September 2009[3] Kyiv Urban Electric Train is the first instance of a combined municipal railway service and an intracity passenger rail route in Ukraine, and arguably in the former Soviet Union as a whole.

This reflects the essence of the service, which is provided with exactly the same rolling stock and railway personnel that are used for the conventional electrychka commuter rail since Soviet rule.

All the railroad infrastructure the Kyiv Urban Electric Train utilizes already existed in the city and is shared with other services of the Ukrzaliznytsia (both passenger and freight).

However, not all of the trains commence full circle: some early and last runs start or terminate at the Kyiv-Volynskyi Station.
