Getting there is already something. Why would routes make sense? While I was returning from Romny on Wednesday evening and had to be back in Kyiv on Friday, I could not take the 20:36 overnight train from Kyiv. All possibilities left were the trains to Khmelnitsky and continue by bus, then take the overnight direct train back.
Even though the saying goes here that "the tongue brings one to Kyiv", the tongue is pretty much needed to go elsewhere also, for example to K-P. Khmelnitsky has two bus stations: a central one and the main one – on the edge of town. Originally designed to slightly divert traffic out of town, it no longer serves that purpose. Moreover, in order to go to K-P (or Chernivtsi and other places), one almost crosses the centre again. And the bus is certainly not the only vehicle. So it seems that the logic that was put in place when the town's infrastructure was planned, no longer applies. Even a provincial capital like Khmelnitsky is overcrowded with traffic nowadays. And why would there be a direct connection between the three stations (railway, old bus station, mian bus station)? I'd say that the tongue brings one anywhere in Ukraine :)
