Autostop (1980) Getting a taxi Kiev does not have a hailing taxi system. You can book taxis from your hotel reception desk, but then what do you do? Probably the simplest thing to do is use taxi Apps. There are two available that are popular. Uklon http://uklon.com.ua  and Uber. Both are relatively new. Local expats tend to use Uklon. Uber has had some start-up teething problems with having enough drivers, but it may be worthwhile downloading both to cover yourself at busy times.    Both Uklon and Uber have English-language pages, however your driver may or may not speak English, so write down your destination to show him.  There are also taxi companies and some have English-language telephone operators. Probably the ones in hotels are the most geared towards tourists. A journey typically costs 50-100 Hryvna, but this of course depends on the length of the journey and traffic. What taxi advice would you add?
