First and second class tickets for the Chisinau-Odessa train will become more expensive beginning this Friday due to rising fuel prices and foreign currency fluctuations, Moldova Railways said in a press release.

A first class trip will cost 195 lei, compared to the current 164 lei; and a second class trip will cost 180 lei, compared to 159 lei today. The third class fare remains unchanged at 151 lei.

The train departs on Saturdays and Sundays from Chisinau at 7:05 a.m. and arrives in Odessa at 10:45 a.m., with the trip back starting at 6:45 p.m. and ending at 10:20 p.m. When the high season begins on June 1, the train will run daily.
