History

The stopping point was opened along with the reconstruction of the Vydubychi metro station in the summer of 2001, replacing an earlier stop called Botanichna operating since 1914, located near the Hryshko National Botanical Garden a little further towards the Darnytsia Railway Bridge.

A major bus station opened next to the station on August 23, 2012.^[2]

In June 2020, Ukrzaliznytsia completed the reconstruction of the Vydubychi railway stop intended to adapt it for use as middle stop by Kyiv Boryspil Express opened in 2018, linking the Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi railway station in the city center with the Boryspil International Airport. The renovation included a new platform and accessibility improvements.^[3][4]

The new platform unites railways, auto and air transport, as well as the subway into a single logistics chain. In the future the platform is supposed to also serve InterCity+ trains.^[5]

Since 4 October 2011, Vydubychi became one of the stops of the Kyiv Urban Rail,^[6] and from 15 June 2020 — one of the stops Kyiv Boryspil Express.^[7]
