Übersicht
editThe municipality was created before the World War II in 1940 after reorganization of the Stanisławów Voivodeship. In 1962 the official name of it changed from Stanislav to Ivano-Frankivsk after the administrative center. It was located within the Tysmenytsia District and consists of one city municipality and five rural ones. Through the municipality flow two major rivers of the region Bystrytsia Solotvynska and Bystrytsia Nadvirnianska and one smaller one Vorona. Most of the territory is flat, however there are some elevated areas in northern parts near Vovchynets known as Vovchynets Hills. There is also several lakes located within the city of Ivano-Frankivsk around which stretches a city park.
Administratively, until 2020, Ivano-Frankivsk was designated the city of oblast significance, and Ivano-Frankivsk Municipality was the territory subordinated to Ivano-Frankivsk City Council. On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast was reduced to six, and Ivano-Frankivsk Municipality was abolished as an administrative subdivision and merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion.[3][4] The last estimate of the municipality population was 622,012 (2020 est.)[2].

There is one railway terminal locally known as Vokzal. There are also smaller rail stations in the adjacent villages such as Uhryniv, Khryplyn, and other. All of them are part of the Lviv Railways.
- Bus transportation
Until 2008 the railway terminal also housed a bus terminal which provided several inter-city bus routes, including some to international destinations. In 2000 construction work began on a new bus terminal next to the railway terminus on Zaliznychna Street. Inauguration of the new bus terminal took place on May 22, 2010. At the opening ceremony the mayor of the city, Viktor Anuškevičius, noted that the new bus terminal was only partially completed, and for a period it would be necessary to offload at the Pryvokzalna Square, which is already saturated with traffic. He also emphasised the need for another bus station on the outskirts of the city.[5]
- Airways transportation
The city is served by the Ivano-Frankivsk International Airport, which was granted international status in 1992. The airport shares its facilities with the 114 Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force.

Routes
editThe city of Ivano-Frankivsk is located on the intersection of three major national (Ukraine) routes: H 18, H 09, and H 10. There also is one important regional route T09-06. All the H-routes eventually connect to E50.
- H 18 connects Ivano-Frankivsk with Ternopil. It starts at the intersection of Sichovi Striltsi Street and Halych Street - Hetman Mazepa Street. At this point the route connects to H-09. H-18 takes Sichovi Striltsi Street east where after couple of miles connects to Yevhen Konovalets Street (T09-06), passing which continues on, until merges into Nezalezhnist Street and heads towards the edge of the city eastward. Once beyond the city its name changes to Tysmenytsia Street (or Tysmenytsia Road) which heads straight to the city of Tysmenytsia, not far from Ivano-Frnkivsk.
- H 10 is actually of an international level, coming through the city from Stryi (Lviv Oblast) and going to Moldawien, passing on its way Chernivtsi. Heading towards Ivano-Frankivsk from Kalush as Kalush Chaussée, after the village of Pavlivka west of the village of Uhryniv the route spurs three ways with one branch (southeast) continues on as Kalush Chaussée merging with H-09 at the intersection with Halych Street - Horbachevsky Street and then continues as Fedkovych Street (H-09); and another one (southwest) comes around the city on the west side through the village of Pilissya and intersects H-09 south of the village of Drahormychany. Note that at this point for a short distance both routes use one and the same road. From there H-10 continues on independently towards Chernivtsi crossing the T09-06 route near village of Cherniiv. One more branch H-10 (northeast) is very small and connects the H-10 spur point (northwest of Ivano-Frankivsk) with the village of Uhryniv and then comes back to the Kalush Chaussée.
- H 09 is sort of a detour route that first travels south from Lviv to Rakhiv and then turns west to Mukacheve. Through Ivano-Frankivsk H-09 makes a lot turns and changes its name using the local streets of the city. It comes to Ivano-Frankivsk from Halych by Halych Street (or Halych Road) to the intersection with Kalush Chaussée - Fedkovych Street where it merges with H-10 and continues on turning southeast onto Fedkovych Street as H-09 and later as Halych Street. Once in the downtown H-09 swerves southwest and intersects Sichovi Striltsi Street that going eastward as the route H-18. After the intersection the street heads straight as Hetman Mazepa Street in the southwestern direction. After crossing Dovzhenko Street it leaves the city limits as Krykhivtsi Street (or Krykhivtsi Road). Upon leaving Krykhivtsi and passing Drahomyrchany on the east, H-09 makes a break in the route H-10 (mentioned above). After that H-09 heads southwest towards the city of Nadvirna, on the way bypassing the town of Bohorodchany.
- T09-06 is a regional route that runs within the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. It is a direct road from the Ivano-Frankivsk city to the Nadvirna city unlike H-09, with the final destination being the village of Bystrytsia. T09-06 starts at the intersection of Sichovi Striltsi Street and Konovalets Street heading directly south onto Konovalets Street (or Konovalets Road). It leaves the city west of the Khryplyn village before crossing one of the Bystrytsia rivers. Shortly T09-06 also crosses the H-10 route continuing south.
