KirovoBound
« on: July 29, 2011, 03:25:31 AM »
G'day mates,

I'm about to rent an apartment in Kirovo directly from the owner. Anything special I should know?

Also, I've been lurking around here for a month or so and checked out some threads about vehicular necessity, or lack thereof actually. Does that consensus hold for K-grad? Anyone been there? 

Oh! What is the 3G situation there? I think my apartment has no net...

I have been to Kirovograd about 5 times.  Watch your wallet if you deal with the agencies.  You should not need a vehicle.  It would be tough to drive unless you can read Russian / Ukrainian and they do a lousy job of marking street names compared to USA.  If you are going to see a particular lady, she can help you with getting around.  They have minibuses - Marshrutkas - that go everywhere.  These and the trolleybuses are how most of the locals get around.  It is cheaper to call for a taxi than walk up to one.  Especially at the train or bus station.  Buses are 1.50 to 2 grivna per person around town.  Good luck.
