The station square is polluted, there is dog shit on the lawns, roads and sidewalks are broken into trash, drunks and homeless people on every corner. It's pathetic.
Europe.
There are a lot of homeless people. In winter. When I first arrived in Poltava, I was somewhat discouraged: here, in Kirovograd, this contingent is driven from the station with piss rags. On the one hand, these are also people, they need somewhere to warm up, but on the other hand, it's somehow uncomfortable for me to sit next to them: unsanitary conditions and so on. Then the police in Poltava-Yuzhnaya were very correct in communication, courteous, they would help if you asked anything
Commuter trains can announce that boarding is underway and the train is served 5 minutes before departure, and the doors can also be opened 1-5 minutes before departure and do not care if it is snowing or raining passengers with children and pensioners
This place is housing for the homeless and alcoholics. It stinks very much at any time of the year, there is no heating in winter and it is very cold to wait for the train.
